How we work We’re a team that values diversity in all its forms and loves adding new perspectives. We ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and build with empathy, for customers and for each other. We care about craft, we love feedback, and we take ownership. We also embrace humor (yes, the puns are real), because doing serious work doesn’t have to feel so serious. Our workforce is fully remote, and your personal working hours can be based on your own timezone. All team-wide meetings are scheduled to be inclusive of all North American time zones. Who we’re looking for Ethena is looking for a Customer Success Engineer who sits at the intersection of technical implementation, product expertise, and AI-powered workflows. This isn't a traditional CSM role — you'll be the operational backbone of new customer onboarding and ongoing configuration, using AI tools to move faster and build smarter than a traditional implementation function. You'll work closely with our Account Management team to ensure customers go live quickly, integrate deeply, and expand confidently. What You'll Do • Own end-to-end technical implementation for mid-market and enterprise customers — HRIS integrations, SSO setup, LMS connectors, API configurations, and assignment automation logic • Build and maintain AI-powered workflows to automate repeatable implementation tasks (e.g., launch requirements, config QA, onboarding documentation generation) • Partner with AMs to run discovery on technical requirements during the kick off and translate them into scoped implementation plans • Serve as the primary technical point of contact during onboarding, reducing time-to-value for new customers • Diagnose and resolve integration issues, working cross-functionally with Product and Engineering when needed • Maintain implementation playbooks and documentation — and actively improve them using AI tooling (AI Training Builder, internal Compass workflows, vibe-coding your own apps) • Contribute to the scaled enablement motion by building reusable templates, guides, and self-serve assets What We're Looking For • 3–5 years in a CS Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Implementation Consultant, or Technical CSM role — ideally at a SaaS company • Hands-on experience with HRIS systems (Workday, ADP, Hibob), SSO protocols (SAML 2.0), and API-based integrations • Demonstrated use of AI tools to improve workflow efficiency and solve customer problems — not just "familiar with AI," but actually building workflows that save time and reduce manual work • Excitement to take troubleshooting work off an engineer’s plate and solve a problem yourself • Comfort operating in ambiguous environments and building process where none exists • Strong written communication skills; you can explain technical concepts to non-technical compliance buyers • Bonus: experience in compliance, HR tech, or legal tech Physical Demands This is sedentary work that primarily involves sitting/standing in a home office environment. Location Ethena is a remote-first organization and is currently hiring candidates based in the United States. AI Usage in Interviews: We’re big fans of AI and use it heavily in our day-to-day work. That said, to ensure fairness and accurate skill assessment, we do not allow the use of AI tools (including note takers, transcription tools, or recordings) during interviews.
