Solutions & Sales Engineering Manager (Payments & eCommerce)

United States
  • We combine technical expertise and commercial acumen to help merchants evaluate, integrate, and scale Zip’s solutions. 
  • Deep expertise in payments, embedded finance and eCommerce, strong consultative problem-solving skills, and the ability to build trusted relationships with both technical and business stakeholders are critical to success in this role.
  • Remote-first opportunity for US-based employees with the option to work in-person out of our Manhattan office.

Start your adventure with Zip 

Zip is looking for a commercially minded and technically credible Solutions & Sales Engineering Manager to lead our US Solutions Engineering function and serve as the senior technical partner across strategic merchant opportunities.

Sitting at the intersection of Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Engineering, you'll lead a team of customer-facing Solutions Engineers responsible for guiding merchants through technical discovery, solution design, integration, and adoption of Zip's platform.

This is a high-impact leadership role where you'll help accelerate revenue, shape merchant engagement strategies, and influence how Zip scales technical partnerships in the payments and eCommerce ecosystem.

Interesting problems you’ll get to solve 

  • Partner with Sales on strategic merchant opportunities, leading technical discovery, solution consulting, and technical win strategies for complex enterprise engagements.
  • Build and scale a world-class Solutions Engineering organization that combines technical expertise, commercial acumen, and customer obsession to deliver successful merchant outcomes.
  • Develop repeatable frameworks, playbooks, and best practices that accelerate merchant onboarding, reduce integration friction, and improve time-to-value.
  • Engage in Zip's strategic response to emerging agentic commerce models, including AI-driven autonomous purchasing, agent-to-merchant payment flows, and headless checkout experiences — partnering with Product to ensure Zip's platform is architected for a world where AI agents are buyers. 
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to merchants, partners, and internal stakeholders, helping navigate technical and business decisions throughout the customer lifecycle.
  • Lead executive-facing conversations with technical and non-technical stakeholders, representing Zip in strategic customer engagements and complex sales cycles.
  • Champion the adoption of AI-powered tools across the Solutions Engineering team — from AI-assisted integration support and smart documentation generation to automated merchant health monitoring and predictive onboarding diagnostics. 
  • Drive continuous improvements to Zip’s integration experience, developer resources, and self-service capabilities to support merchant growth at scale.
  • Leverage AI-powered tools and automation to improve team productivity, enhance customer engagement, and accelerate merchant outcomes.
  • Coach and develop Solutions Engineers on technical consulting, customer engagement, executive communication, and solution strategy.
  • Act as the bridge between Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Engineering, ensuring customer needs, technical capabilities, and business priorities remain aligned.

What you’ll bring to the team 

  • 8+ years of experience in Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, Technical Account Management, Partner Engineering, or other customer-facing technical roles, with at least 3 years leading and developing technical teams.
  • Demonstrated success building, scaling, and coaching high-performing Solutions Engineering or Sales Engineering organizations in payments, fintech, BNPL, or eCommerce environments.
  • Strong understanding of payments, eCommerce ecosystems, APIs, and integration technologies, with the ability to confidently engage both technical and business stakeholders.
  • Proven success partnering with enterprise merchants and strategic accounts, leading executive conversations and supporting complex sales opportunities from technical discovery through launch.
  • Experience working closely with Sales teams to develop solution strategies, navigate technical evaluations, and accelerate customer adoption.
  • Hands-on experience deploying AI tools to improve Solutions Engineering workflows: think copilot-assisted RFP responses, AI-generated integration guides, or LLM-powered merchant triage — not just awareness that these tools exist. 
  • Ability to earn credibility with technical stakeholders while translating complex concepts into clear business value for customers, executives, and commercial teams.
  • Strong commercial instincts with the ability to connect technical solutions to customer outcomes, revenue growth, and long-term partnership success.
  • Experience building scalable team processes, engagement models, and best practices that improve customer experience, operational effectiveness, and merchant time-to-value.
  • Exceptional cross-functional leadership skills, with a track record of partnering effectively with Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Engineering teams.
  • A high-adaptability leadership style with a bias for action, strong customer focus, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Clear alignment with Zip’s core values

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
