Senior Customer Success Engineer

About Dataro:

Dataro is an ethically minded SaaS startup using machine learning to help not-for-profits raise more money and do more good. Our platform powers fundraising for organizations across the world, helping them run smarter campaigns and improve donor engagement using data-driven insights.

Every day we ingest and process hundreds of millions of records from a wide range of fundraising and CRM systems. This data underpins our predictive modeling and analytics products. As we expand in the United States, we're looking for an exceptional engineer who is also an excellent communicator - someone who can work directly with customers, solve technical problems end-to-end, and act as the bridge between clients and our Sydney-based engineering team.


Why this role exists:

Dataro is an ethically minded SaaS startup using machine learning to help not-for-profits raise more money and do more good. Our platform powers fundraising for organisations around the world, helping them run smarter campaigns and build better relationships with their donors.

Every day we ingest and process hundreds of millions of records from a wide range of fundraising and CRM systems. That data underpins everything we do.

Onboarding is where that starts. You're the first technical person a customer works with, and the work you do sets up everything that follows. You'll set the priorities, take on the most important integrations yourself, and build the tooling and process that makes each onboarding faster than the last.


What you will work on:

Owning the onboarding queue. You'll triage what comes in each day and set priority across it, deciding who picks up what. You'll own the onboarding work space and keep it accurate enough that the rest of the business can plan around it.

Customer integrations and pipelines. You'll sit with customers to understand their CRM, their data structures, and how their fundraising team actually works, then write the Python and SQL that turns CRM ingestions into something our models can use. You'll also find the repeated manual work and have the freedom to automate it.

Process and people. You'll run technical calls with customers and explain constraints to people who aren't engineers. You'll keep CSMs across where things stand and flag risk early. And you'll document how onboarding works, teach it across the company, and get new team members up to speed on it.


What you'll bring:

• 5+ years in a customer-facing technical role: solutions engineering, implementation, technical support, or data consulting

• An AI native skillset. You love building with AI and can prove it!

• Strong SQL, with real comfort in large datasets

• Confident Python for data work, automation, and scripting

• Confidence with APIs: authenticating, paging through results, and debugging a failing integration from the logs

• Working knowledge of AWS and Git

• Excellent communication, and comfort leading technical customer calls and managing expectations

• Good judgement about priority: you can look at a queue of competing work, decide what matters most, and explain why

• Ability to work independently with limited oversight
