At Chift, our mission fits in one sentence: Unlock potential with connectivity ⚡
Our clients are B2B software companies: fintechs, SaaS scale-ups and AI tools serving thousands of SMEs across Europe. Their users expect that software to connect automatically to their financial tools, like their accounting, invoicing or point-of-sale systems.
The problem is that building these integrations is a real headache for software companies. It takes months, costs up to €50,000 per integration per year, and ties up developers who should be improving their own product instead.
That’s where we come in. With our Unified APIs and our MCP server, a software company connects to Chift once and instantly gets access to 150+ financial software tools across Europe. We handle the hard part (the connectors, the maintenance, each country’s specifics) so our clients can focus on what makes their product unique.
Today, companies like Revolut, Pennylane and Qonto rely on Chift to offer these integrations to their users. And with the rise of AI agents, which need reliable financial data to work, our role is becoming even more central.
Our ambition? To become the European leader in financial integrations. The Unified API wave has already swept across the US, but in Europe the race is still wide open. And we fully intend to lead it 👑
You'll be working on
As Solution Engineer, you're the technical person our clients trust when they integrate Chift. You sit with their CTOs and developers, understand their product and architecture, and design the right way to plug Chift in. You take them from the first technical call to a clean go-live. We just closed our Series A, and every new client onboarding runs through this team.
You're the bridge between our clients' tech teams and ours, before and after the deal.
Pre-sales: join technical calls with our AEs, validate use cases, data flows and connector feasibility, and recommend Sync or Unified API
Onboarding: guide clients' developers through the integration, from API design choices to data mapping and production launch
Troubleshooting: dig into API calls, logs and data to find out why a flow breaks, then fix it with our tech team
Product feedback: turn what you see on the ground into clear input for our Product and Connector teams
Scale the playbook: write the docs, guides and best practices that make the next onboarding faster
💰 Attractive package (competitive salary, meal voucher, insurance, phone budget, mobility budget, flexible days off 🏝, etc.)
🚀 Employee Stock Options program (ESOP) giving you the possibility to become shareholder
📈 Crazy Learning curve: a varied job allowing you to juggle with different projects & technologies
🏋️ Wellness/sport allowance with Gymlib
🤩 Experience in a young, fast-growing tech start-up 🚀 and a great atmosphere 🍻
→ Meaning apéro, lunches and activities to celebrate each milestone together 🍾
👩💻 Flexible working hours and office/remote mix
We're looking for
Experience: 3+ years in a technical client-facing role or a developer who moved closer to clients. SaaS or fintech experience is a big plus.
Technical Aptitude: At home with REST APIs, JSON, authentication and error codes. You use SQL and/or Python in your day-to-day work, not just once in a while.
Integration mindset: You've built, implemented or debugged integrations or data migrations. Exposure to financial data is a strong plus.
Communication: Comfortable walking a CTO through an integration architecture, then explaining the same thing to a non-technical ops team.
Languages: Fluent in French and English. Dutch, Spanish or German is a plus.
AI-native: You already use Claude (or other), AI agents, and similar tools in your daily work.
Ownership: When a client's sync fails, you want to understand why. You don't forward the ticket and move on.
