About the role
HqO is looking for a Solutions Engineer to serve as the critical link between HqO and our customers. This is the moment where strategy becomes reality and platform becomes value. In this role, you will bring the entire company to the customer, translating their business challenges into technical solutions and orchestrating our platform capabilities, engineering resources, and commercial strategy to deliver outcomes that matter.
You will discover what customers truly value (not just what they ask for), architect solutions that prove that value, and ensure flawless delivery. This role sits at the most critical juncture in our business: where deals are won, where customers realize ROI, and where one great platform becomes thousands of successful deployments. You are simultaneously the voice of the customer inside HqO and the embodiment of HqO’s capabilities in the field.
This is a hybrid position based in our Paris, France office. Coverage spans France and the UK, with approximately 40–50% travel expected. Candidates must be native French speakers with fluency in English.
