In this role, you will be at the forefront of connecting Amper's product with our customers' unique ecosystems, driving value through custom integrations, and extending our platform's capabilities.

Integrations in the world of manufacturing can be quite challenging; frequently we’re working with older applications, deployed on-premise as well as home-grown applications and even spreadsheets.

• Lead Discovery & Strategy: Conduct in-depth discovery sessions with customers to identify integration needs, define project objectives, and develop overarching strategies that align with Amper's product vision.

• Tactical Execution: Translate high-level strategies into actionable tasks, collaborating with Account Executives/Managers (AE/Ms) and Customer Success Engineers (CSEs) to ensure seamless project execution.

• Technical Execution: With the aid of a technical lead, work directly with a dedicated integrations engineer to build out customer-specific integrations. Own prioritization of that work and the related stakeholder management.

• Technical Problem Solving: Address and resolve complex technical challenges, providing tactical support to both internal teams and customers, ensuring solutions are robust and aligned with customer needs.

• Continuous Improvement: Regularly reassess and adjust strategies throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring optimal alignment with customer requirements and technological advancements.

• Product Extension: Work directly with engineering teams to enhance Amper’s public API and core product capabilities, driving forward our integrations roadmap and expanding our platform’s reach.
