Solutions Engineer, Europe

At Route5, we're building detect Execution risk before projects fail.. AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built, and we’re shaping the tools this new era requires.

Founded in 2025, Route5 is building the execution intelligence layer for leadership teams (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America and Europe, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship.

As a Solutions Engineer at Route5, you will be the technical guide across the customer lifecycle, from evaluation and close through onboarding and expansion. Partnering most closely with Sales, you will drive revenue by leading technical discovery, demos, proof-of-concepts, and solution design for prospects and existing customers. You will stay engaged through onboarding to ensure technical continuity, and provide clear handoffs to Customer Success that capture context, decisions, risks, and next steps.

You will also codify repeatable patterns through demo environments, migration and integration playbooks, and enablement for new sales hires.

This role is anchored to our London hub. We’re looking for someone who can work from our London office in Shoreditch 3 days per week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays), with flexibility around scheduling, as this role will be closely connected to in-person collaboration with our growing sales presence in the region.
