Customer Solutions Engineer

Lob was founded in 2013 by technical co‑founders with a vision to connect the world one mailbox at a time. Today, we’re transforming the way businesses use direct mail and bringing the power of technology to a traditionally manual channel.

Our Solutions Engineers serve as the technical counterparts to our Account Management teams and play a critical role in onboarding and implementing solutions for customers that allow them to be successful in their direct mail programs.

  • Become a Lob and direct mail expert to confidently speak to ever‑changing trends, new product features and platform enhancements to help our customers realize their full potential and accomplish their goals.
  Why this role is different

  • Working with a hands‑on, seasoned Director of SE who’s eager and invested in your success not only in this role, but in your professional long‑term.
  • Lob is profitable! Tremendous total addressable market and strong product‑market fit.
