Lead Implementation Engineer, Client Integrations & Support

Strider Technologies delivers strategic intelligence that helps organizations make faster, more confident decisions in an increasingly complex global environment. Using cutting-edge AI and proprietary methodologies, we transform open-source data into actionable insights that help protect technology, talent, and supply chains from nation-state risks.

Summary

Strider is seeking a Lead Implementation Engineer to own post-sales technical delivery and help scale our global client support function. In this role, you will serve as the primary technical partner for client IT and security teams, leading secure integrations while building reliable, repeatable processes that accelerate onboarding and strengthen long-term customer relationships.

You will lead end-to-end API and SSO (SAML/OIDC) implementations and oversee technical support operations, including account provisioning, access management, and issue resolution. Working closely with Product, Engineering, and Product Marketing, you’ll help shape integration requirements, improve support tooling and workflows, and expand client self-service through clear documentation and knowledge resources.

This is a highly visible and impactful role, ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work while also designing systems that scale. Your work will directly influence the client experience and help Strider’s customers go live quickly, securely, and with confidence.

• Ability to manage multiple client engagements while driving strong technical outcomes

• Clear, effective communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences

• Experience mentoring or guiding junior engineers is a plus

• Manage technical support operations related to provisioning, access management, ticket queues, SLAs, and escalations

• Serve as the escalation point for critical onboarding or production issues, coordinating triage, communication, postmortems, and preventative actions

• Design and implement scalable support workflows, tracking and operationalizing metrics such as first-response time and backlog health

• Build internal tools, scripts, runbooks, and templates to improve onboarding speed and issue resolution

• Partner with Product and Engineering to document integration requirements and improve overall product operability

• Collaborate with Product Marketing to create and maintain Help Center articles, troubleshooting guides, FAQs, and other self-service content

• Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and mentoring as the implementation and support function grows
