The posting

Paramount Commerce processes $5B+ annually across Interac, EFT, and real-time rails. As our first dedicated Solutions Engineer reporting to the CRO, you will bridge the gap between our commercial teams, technical capabilities, and merchants.

Initially, you will design the playbook—establishing discovery frameworks and standardizing how Sales qualifies merchant technical needs. Once established, you will lead pre- and post-sales solutioning on live calls, translate complex money movement into actionable workflows, and hand fully scoped architectures over to Onboarding for execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead Live Solutioning (Pre- and Post-Sale): Join calls with Business Development and Account Management to architect solutions in real time. Clearly articulate why a solution works, challenge client assumptions constructively, and act as an interpreter for merchant-specific payments terminology.
  • Build Discovery Frameworks: Define the questions and parameters the commercial team must use during discovery to identify merchant requirements early.
  • Document Workflows & Secure Sign-Off: Map payment workflows and the flow of money movement (e.g., swimlane diagrams). Document the agreed-upon solution and secure formal merchant sign-off.
  • Own Onboarding Handoffs: Deliver fully scoped use cases and technical context to the Onboarding team so they can focus strictly on tracking integration and implementation.
  • Drive the Product Feedback Loop: Act as the merchant advocate internally. Identify recurring trends, gaps, and feature requests—especially in new verticals—and feed them directly to Product and Engineering.
  • Relay Technical Requirements: Read, interpret, and explain API documentation and integration paths without needing to write code.

What You Bring

  • Payments Depth: Deep experience in Solutions Engineering, Technical Pre-Sales, or Solutions Consulting within payments or fintech. Strong familiarity with North American payment rails (Interac, EFT, A2A), settlement flows, and money movement.
  • Workflow Mapping: Hands-on experience producing clear visual documentation (swimlane diagrams, integration flows) that both developers and business leaders can understand.
  • Technical Literacy: Ability to read and navigate API documentation, webhooks, and technical architectures to problem-solve integrations with merchant engineers.
  • Merchant-Facing Presence: Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical details into business value, push back when a requested setup won't work, and guide clients to better solutions.
  • Builder Mindset: Proven ability to create repeatable processes from scratch rather than just following existing playbooks.

Who This Role Is For

This role is for someone who has spent years watching deals get complicated because nobody owned the solution narrative. You've seen the post-signature scramble when integration requirements weren't properly scoped, and the frustration when sales promises don't match technical reality.

You should be comfortable being the person who says "that won't work the way you think it will" in a room full of people who want to hear the opposite. You should be equally comfortable proposing the alternative that actually will.

If you've been looking for a role where you build something from the ground up, translate complex merchant needs into clear operational realities, and work on problems that matter in a payments company that processes real volume, this is it.

Paramount Commerce traite plus de 5 milliards de dollars par an via les réseaux Interac, TEF (EFT) et les systèmes de paiement en temps réel. En tant que premier ingénieur solutions dédié relevant directement du chef des revenus (CRO), vous ferez le lien entre nos équipes commerciales, nos capacités techniques et les marchands.

Dans un premier temps, vous concevrez le guide de référence (playbook) en établissant des cadres d'évaluation des besoins (discovery frameworks) et en standardisant la manière dont l'équipe des ventes qualifie les exigences techniques des marchands. Une fois ces bases posées, vous dirigerez la conception de solutions avant-vente et après-vente lors d'appels en direct, traduirez des flux monétaires complexes en processus opérationnels clairs et transmettrez des architectures entièrement définies à l'équipe d'intégration (Onboarding) pour exécution.

Responsabilités clés

  • Piloter la conception de solutions en direct (avant et après-vente) : Participer aux échanges avec le développement des affaires et la gestion de comptes pour concevoir des architectures de solutions en temps réel. Expliquer clairement pourquoi une solution fonctionne, remettre en question les hypothèses des clients de manière constructive et agir à titre d'interprète pour la terminologie des paiements propre à chaque marchand.
  • Bâtir des cadres d'évaluation des besoins (Discovery Frameworks) : Définir les questions et les paramètres que l'équipe commerciale doit utiliser lors de la phase de découverte pour cerner rapidement les exigences des marchands.
  • Documenter les flux de travail et obtenir l'approbation : Modéliser les processus de paiement et les flux de mouvement de fonds (p. ex., diagrammes en couloirs / swimlane). Documenter la solution convenue et obtenir l'approbation formelle du marchand.
  • Gérer les transitions vers l'équipe d'intégration (Onboarding) : Fournir des cas d'usage entièrement cadrés et le contexte technique nécessaire à l'équipe d'intégration afin qu'elle puisse se concentrer exclusivement sur le suivi de l'intégration et du déploiement.
  • Alimenter la boucle de rétroaction produit : Être le porte-parole des marchands à l'interne. Déceler les tendances récurrentes, les lacunes et les demandes de fonctionnalités — particulièrement dans les nouveaux secteurs verticaux — et les relayer directement aux équipes Produit et Ingénierie.
  • Transmettre les exigences techniques : Lire, interpréter et expliquer la documentation d'API et les parcours d'intégration, sans avoir besoin d'écrire de code.

Profil recherché

  • Expertise approfondie des paiements : Solide expérience en ingénierie de solutions, avant-vente technique ou conseil en solutions dans le secteur des paiements ou des fintechs. Excellente maîtrise des réseaux de paiement nord-américains (Interac, TEF/EFT, A2A), des flux de règlement et des mouvements de fonds.
  • Modélisation de processus : Expérience concrète dans la production de documentation visuelle claire (diagrammes en couloirs, flux d'intégration) accessible tant aux développeurs qu'aux dirigeants d'entreprise.
  • Culture technique : Capacité à lire et naviguer dans la documentation d'API, les webhooks et les architectures techniques pour résoudre les défis d'intégration avec les ingénieurs des marchands.
  • Aisance relationnelle face aux marchands : Excellentes compétences en communication, avec la capacité de vulgariser des détails techniques en valeur d'affaires, de refuser avec tact une configuration non viable et de guider les clients vers de meilleures solutions.
  • Esprit de bâtisseur : Capacité démontrée à concevoir des processus reproductibles de toutes pièces plutôt que de simplement suivre des protocoles préexistants.

À qui s'adresse ce rôle

Ce poste s'adresse à une personne qui a passé des années à voir des transactions se compliquer faute d'un responsable clair de l'architecture de la solution. Vous avez connu la précipitation post-signature lorsque les exigences d'intégration n'étaient pas correctement définies, et la frustration engendrée par l'écart entre les promesses commerciales et la réalité technique.

Vous devez être à l'aise d'être la personne qui affirme « cela ne fonctionnera pas de la manière dont vous le pensez » dans une salle où tout le monde espère entendre le contraire. Vous devez être tout aussi à l'aise de proposer l'alternative qui, elle, fonctionnera réellement.

Si vous recherchez un poste où bâtir quelque chose à partir de zéro, traduire les besoins complexes des marchands en réalités opérationnelles concrètes et résoudre des enjeux d'envergure au sein d'une entreprise de paiement qui gère des volumes considérables, ce poste est fait pour vous.
