Senior Customer Engineer

The Team + The Role

Pendo’s Customer Engineering team is the technical backbone of the pre- and post-sales customer motion. The team brings together work that has historically sat across Customer Success, Technical Account Management, and Solutions Engineering into one full-lifecycle technical owner. Customer Engineering helps customers connect technical execution to business outcomes and realize the value of their investment in Pendo.

As a Senior Customer Engineer, you own strategic and complex Enterprise accounts across acquisition, implementation, adoption, expansion, and escalation. You lead technical strategy for complex deployments, resolve ambiguous customer challenges, and partner closely with account teams to drive retention, expansion, and customer value. Your impact extends beyond your own accounts through playbooks, coaching, repeatable fixes, and workflow improvements that raise the capability of the broader Customer Engineering team.

This is a remote role supporting a South East territory. 

What this looks like day-to-day

• New customer acquisition and selling: Partner with Account Directors on pre-sales motions for new customer acquisition, product expansion, and expansion across lines of business. You identify customer pain, craft and deliver tailored demos, and lead technical evaluations through requirements gathering, success criteria, installation guidance, and hands-on workshops.
• Complex implementations and value realization: Lead onboarding for strategic customers, including planning, implementation, integrations, and training. You build customer-specific implementation playbooks, guide complex deployments with executive visibility, and ensure customers realize value during onboarding and over time.
• Adoption, expansion, and growth: Identify opportunities to expand adoption across underutilized features, untapped products, and new lines of business. When adoption stalls, you diagnose root causes, design a path forward, and connect technical work to measurable business outcomes.
• Technical escalation: Serve as an escalation point for complex technical challenges raised by other Customer Engineers. You resolve ambiguous problems with multiple variables and tradeoffs, involving Product or Engineering only when truly needed.
• Team capability building: Build playbooks, document repeatable fixes, coach peers, and improve how Customer Engineering work gets done across the team. You use AI tools to accelerate content creation, surface patterns across accounts, and share practical workflow findings with the broader team.
• Early account impact: Assess account health, risks, stakeholder relationships, and the highest-priority problems to solve within your portfolio. You establish trust with Account Directors and customer stakeholders, then independently lead complex customer interactions that move accounts forward.
• Quarterly business outcomes: Drive measurable improvement in customer health, retention, expansion, and technical resolution across strategic accounts. You contribute reusable frameworks, playbooks, or processes that other Customer Engineers use and become a trusted advisor to Account Directors on account health and technical strategy.

Who You Are

Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.

You're a builder, not a maintainer.

You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great Senior Customer Engineers don't just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we work.

You're AI-curious - genuinely.

You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything — how you approach your work, how you prep, how you communicate, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.

Must-haves

• 5 to 8 years of experience in a customer-facing technical role such as Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management, Customer Engineering, implementation, professional services, or solutions architecture.

• Proven experience managing strategic Enterprise accounts with executive-level stakeholders, competing priorities, and complex technical or business requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to solve ambiguous problems involving multiple variables, constraints, and tradeoffs.
• Experience connecting technical execution to business outcomes such as retention, expansion, ROI, and value realization.
• Hands-on use of AI tools for account research, content creation, or workflow automation, with demonstrated integration into day-to-day work rather than light experimentation.
• Experience mentoring or coaching more junior technical team members.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with Pendo, digital adoption platforms, product analytics, or in-app experience tooling in an enterprise environment.
• Hands-on experience with mobile app development, including Swift, Android, or React Native.
• Familiarity with data architecture, AI or machine learning concepts, or advanced analytics instrumentation.
• Track record of building reusable frameworks, playbooks, or processes that were adopted by a broader team.

About the Role

You own our marketing technology stack — lifecycle infrastructure that powers email and SMS programs, and tracking systems that keep paid media attribution honest.

You'll design and maintain the systems that let a lean, AI-powered marketing team move fast and measure accurately. That means Iterable journeys and CDP audiences that run lifecycle programs on autopilot, a conversion tracking layer that stays clean across every ad platform, and automation that eliminates manual work from campaign launches to performance monitoring. You'll also drive cross-functional initiatives with Engineering, Product, and Growth Science to get critical tracking and infrastructure work prioritized. Senior IC role, no direct reports.

What You'll Do

1. Lifecycle Platform & Campaign Infrastructure

• Own Iterable end-to-end: configuration, journey architecture, lifecycle triggers, and audience management for welcome, nurture, and re-engagement programs.
• Manage our CDP (Segment Personas): define audience segments, maintain governance and naming conventions, and work with Engineering to ensure data flows to Iterable cleanly.
• Build AI-powered email and SMS template systems — modular, dynamic, and populated by AI at scale — so our lifecycle team can ship programs without relying on agencies or one-off builds.
• Train the team on platform capabilities and self-serve campaign creation so the lifecycle lead can focus on strategy, not production.

2. Conversion Tracking & Attribution

• Own Google Tag Manager and our Segment event taxonomy. Partner with Engineering on event tracking implementation, maintain event taxonomy documentation, and troubleshoot conversion data gaps across ad platforms.
• Partner with Engineering to implement and verify CAPI, enhanced conversions, and server-side tracking setups. You drive requirements, validate implementation, and own ongoing QA — Engineering builds it.
• Escalate and drive Engineering/Product prioritization when tracking infrastructure needs investment.

3. Automation, Tooling & Experimentation

• Build automated budget pacing alerts, performance anomaly detection, and campaign QA workflows (broken links, UTM validation, tracking checks) for both paid and lifecycle programs.
• Use Claude, Python, Gumloop and AI tools to build self-serve workflows that eliminate manual operational work across the team. Train team members on AI tools for content generation, analysis, and self-serve campaign creation.
• Partner with Growth Science on budget allocation analysis, channel decisions, measurement planning, and incrementality testing.

What You'll Need

Technical Skills:

• Expert in Iterable, Braze, or comparable ESP at enterprise scale (millions of sends)
• Strong HTML/CSS for responsive email templates; comfortable reading JavaScript
• Experienced with CDP platforms (Segment Personas or similar)
• Working knowledge of GTM, CAPI, enhanced conversions, and server-side tracking
• Proficient with Python scripting and no-code automation tools (Gumloop, Make, Zapier)
• Expert with AI tools (Claude, Cursor) for generating code, templates, and analysis
• Proficient in SQL for campaign analysis and troubleshooting

Experience:

• 5–7+ years in marketing operations, with primary depth in lifecycle/email platform ownership at scale
• Track record building infrastructure — not running campaigns — that measurably increases team velocity
• Proven ability to drive data infrastructure through Engineering and Product without direct authority
• Comfortable spanning acquisition and lifecycle — you understand how performance marketing and lifecycle programs interact

Mindset:

• Infrastructure builder: you design systems that eliminate entire categories of manual work
• AI-native: you use AI tools daily — for coding, content, analysis, and problem-solving
• High-agency IC: you architect solutions, prototype independently, and build them yourself

Bonus Points

• High-consideration, high-value transactional businesses (real estate, automotive, financial services)
• Amplitude or Optimizely experimentation platform experience
• Figma for prototyping templates
• Analytics engineering or data visualization (Looker, Mode, Tableau)
• Segment CDP, mobile push, or in-app messaging experience

Compensation

Our compensation plan consists of a base salary, Opendoor equity and a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, paid holidays, medical/dental/vision insurance, basic life insurance, and 401(k) to eligible employees.  All compensation parameters are based on experience.
