About this role

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and lead Trustly's US Solutions Engineering team — covering pre-sales engineering, implementation, and technical account management across our merchant base.

- Own the technical onboarding experience for new merchants — driving down time-to-live, reducing integration friction, and ensuring merchants launch with confidence.

- Partner with Sales and Commercial teams on enterprise deals — leading technical discovery, scoping integrations, and presenting Trustly's capabilities to merchant engineering and product teams.

- Act as the primary escalation point for complex technical merchant issues — coordinating with Product and Engineering to drive resolution and feed learnings back into the product roadmap.

- Develop scalable integration resources, documentation, and tooling that enable merchants to self-serve and reduce support burden over time.

- Establish metrics and reporting for Solutions Engineering performance — time-to-integrate, merchant health, escalation volume, and team productivity.

WHO YOU ARE

- 10+ years of experience in solutions engineering, technical account management, or integration engineering, with at least 3 years in a leadership role.

- Deep technical background — comfortable reading and writing code, reviewing API documentation, and engaging directly with merchant engineering teams on integration challenges.

- Strong commercial instincts — you understand how technical decisions affect merchant outcomes and revenue, and you know how to communicate tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical audiences.

- Experience in payments, fintech, or API-first platforms strongly preferred; familiarity with ACH, payment APIs, and webhook-based integrations a plus.

- Builder mindset — you're energized by standing up a function, creating processes from scratch, and building a team in a fast-moving environment.

- Excellent communicator and cross-functional partner; you earn trust quickly with merchants and internally with engineering and commercial stakeholders alike.
