The opportunity We're hiring a Senior Customer Success Engineer to sit at the intersection of AI innovation and customer operations. This isn't a traditional engineering role — it's a mission-critical position dedicated to one thing: making our Customer Success team dramatically more effective through the power of AI.

Our mission is to make financial advice more affordable and accessible — and that depends on a Customer Success function that scales through intelligence, not headcount. You'll spend the majority of your time designing and shipping AI agents, automations, and internal tools — with a product manager's instinct for what's worth building and a CX obsession for how it feels to use. That means building intelligent onboarding flows, self-service support experiences, and proactive engagement tools that users interact with every day.

This role is for someone who is deeply technical, product-minded, and moves fast in an Agile environment. You think like an engineer, an operator, and a PM all at once — opinionated about tooling, obsessive about customer experience, and pragmatic about the tradeoffs that keep our team lean and our mission within reach. *This is hybrid role, requiring three days per week in our San Francisco, Culver City, or Dallas office.

Your impact Design, build, and iterate on AI agents and applications — both internal tools that automate workflows for the Customer Success team and customer-facing experiences that optimize key moments in the journey (onboarding, self-service support, proactive engagement). Scope and prioritize what to build — look at a messy list of requests and identify the highest-leverage opportunity rather than just building what's asked. Think from the customer's perspective first — whether building internal tools or customer-facing experiences, consider how real people will interact with what you build and iterate based on their feedback.

Define success before shipping — set clear metrics, track adoption and outcomes, and use data to validate whether a tool is actually moving the needle. Understand the business context behind the work — reason about cost-to-serve, efficiency tradeoffs, and ROI, and use that lens to make better decisions about what to build and how. Own the technical decisions end-to-end — select the right LLMs, orchestration frameworks, and third-party tools for each use case, and write clean, maintainable code (leveraging AI-assisted development) that ships quickly without sacrificing reliability.

Partner with DevOps and Security to ensure AI agents and applications are deployed reliably, meet security and compliance standards, and are built with production-grade infrastructure.
