About the role
- You'll work closely with onboarding managers to configure Vori for each retailer's unique needs-reducing out-of-stocks, cutting shrink, and driving efficiency.

- You'll wrangle item files and invoices from POS systems, back-office tools, and ERPs-in formats ranging from CSV and EDI to PDFs and even scanned paper-and connect them seamlessly into Vori.
Requirements
- 5+ years in FD/Solutions Engineering, or a similar customer-facing technical role, ideally in B2B SaaS or fintech

- Hybrid skillset - strong backend/data engineering fundamentals + ability to interact directly with customer IT teams.
- Domain awareness - familiarity with unstructured data, ETL processes and ML/OCR pipelines.
