This Solutions Engineer role is focused on...

• Leading technical pre-sales activities for multinational clients evaluating Light’s platform, especially firms replacing or augmenting legacy ERPs.

• Running product & technical demos that showcase how Light addresses complex finance workflows, system integrations, and scale.

• Deep collaboration with prospects’ technical and finance stakeholders to understand current systems, data flows, and pain points.

• Designing and proposing architecture & implementation plans that map to client needs, ensuring feasibility and scalability.

• Supporting RFPs and responding to technical questions, clarifying how existing or custom integrations will work.
  
  

How you fit into the team

Your main mission is to translate complex customer requirements into compelling technical solutions — helping both clients and
Light see how the platform delivers. You will act as a bridge between sales, product, engineering, implementation and
customers. You’ll need strong presentation skills, deep ERP domain knowledge, and the ability to simplify complexity. This is a
highly visible, client-facing role with direct responsibility for helping close deals and ensuring technical alignment early.

Your qualifications could be

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or equivalent experience.

• 3+ years’ experience as a Solutions Engineer/Pre-Sales Engineer in an ERP/FMS context (vendor-side preferred).

• Deep understanding of ERP implementation projects: data migrations, integrations, customisations, modules (finance, supply chain, etc.).

• Excellent technical demo and presentation skills: able to clearly articulate system architecture, APIs, integration points, and trade-offs.

• Strong relationship building skills: able to engage with finance leaders.

• Hands-on experience with at least one major ERP system (e.g. NetSuite, Oracle, SAP) and familiarity with cloud-based systems.

• Able to think strategically and practically: balancing customer requirements, technical constraints, and Light’s product roadmap.
  
  

Bonus points

• Experience in SaaS / FinTech industry, especially working with multi-entity financial operations or global accounting standards.

• Prior experience migrating customers from legacy ERPs to newer cloud financial platforms.

• Knowledge of SQL or Python.

• Experience with data transformation, ETL, or data modelling.

• Familiarity with API-based integrations or middleware tools.

• Multi-region implementation experience (e.g. EMEA + US) or working across different regulatory / tax environments.
