Solutions Engineer

Retire the ERP.

Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers—automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.

We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Keyshot. People don’t just use Light—they enjoy it.

We’re an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you’re excited to modernize how the world runs money—one workflow at a time—you’re in the right place.

Backed by world-class investors and advised by industry titans, we’re building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes.
Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.


This Solutions Engineer role

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Practical experience using AI or emerging technology tools to improve productivity, insight, or decision-making, with the ability to apply first-principles thinking to new problems.

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.

A few tips to stand out

  • Share examples of complex technical pre-sales / solution engineering projects you’ve led.

  • Demonstrate how you think about integrations, data migrations, scalability, and managing technical risk.

  • Be ready to explain how you build trust with both business and technical stakeholders in prospective client
    organisations.

  • Show a good intuition for when to push for product changes vs using what’s already there.

The good stuff

In addition to being part of a great team and working in a really fun and innovative environment, we offer:

Competitive salary + potential stock options
Generous package of paid annual leave + public holidays in your country
Regular socials and company Starsite off-sites
A huge opportunity for career growth as you will help shape a market-defining product.

Final words

Working at Light means you’re embarking on an exciting journey to reshape the future of multinational financial operations. Our cheat code is that we’ve built something like this before — and are now doing it again, only better. Our goal is to make global finance effortless and empower companies to make informed decisions.
