Operational Solutions Engineer
TLDR
Operational Solutions Engineers influence bookstore adoption of Omnibus while solving operational challenges in partnership with Product and Engineering teams.
The Role
We are looking for Operational Solutions Engineers to work directly with bookstores and publishers during the evaluation, onboarding, implementation, and rollout phases of Omnibus. This role sits at the intersection of customer operations, solutions engineering, workflow consulting, implementation, product feedback, and rapid technical problem solving.
This role shares some characteristics with a forward-deployed engineering model, working directly with customers to identify and solve operational and workflow challenges in close partnership with Product and Engineering. Operational Solutions Engineers help customers evaluate how Omnibus fits into their operational workflows, identify friction points that could block adoption, and work closely with Product and Engineering to refine solutions quickly and pragmatically.
Why This Role Is Unique
The traditional boundaries between implementation, customer success, product, and engineering are changing rapidly.
At Edelweiss, Operational Solutions Engineers help accelerate adoption by working directly on the operational friction points that stand between customers and successful rollout. You will have direct influence on how bookstores adopt Omnibus, how workflows evolve, and how product decisions get made.
Responsibilities
• Partner closely with Account Executives during retailer and publisher evaluations, demos, onboarding, and rollout processes
• Learn bookstore workflows, operational pain points, and migration concerns in detail
• Identify feature gaps, workflow friction, edge cases, or operational blockers that may impact adoption
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to refine workflows, prototype solutions, and accelerate problem resolution
• Use AI-assisted development tools and technical platforms to support rapid iteration and workflow refinement
• Help bookstores operationalize Omnibus in real retail environments, including onboarding, integrations, inventory workflows, and EDI setup
• Translate customer feedback into actionable specifications, implementation guidance, and scalable product improvements
• Surface operational insights that help shape roadmap priorities and long-term product direction
• Act as a trusted operational and technical partner to customers during critical rollout periods
Requirements
- Experience in bookstore or publishing operations, retail operations, solutions engineering, SaaS implementation, workflow consulting, POS systems, integrations or EDI, product or technical operations, or customer-facing technical roles is helpful
- Strong operational and technical instincts
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Ability to work in fast-moving, evolving environments
- Willingness to travel periodically for onboarding, retailer visits, conferences, and industry events
- Willingness to participate in on-call rotation for systems and features you ship
