Moving the world better – that’s the backbone of everything we do. At Ridecell, we pride ourselves on helping the largest fleets in the world digitally transform their business operations to achieve their goals, no matter how big or adventurous. Our fleet automation and mobility platform modernizes and monetizes fleets by combining real-time data insights with digital vehicle control that turns manual processes into automated workflows. Imagining a world where fleets fix and run themselves is no longer a concept – it’s a reality.
The results? Unmatched efficiency, unparalleled control, and complete transparency for shared services, motorpool, rental and logistic fleets who rely on vehicles and drivers to move their business forward.
As a Solutions Support Engineer, you are the primary point of contact when Ridecell’s customers ask questions, report issues, and require product assistance. You will guide the customer through our defined resolution and escalation processes as well as advocate for their needs. You will develop a deep knowledge of their business model and how best to leverage Ridecell’s integrated platform and tools.
You will collaborate with other Support, Engineering, Product, and Customer Success team members. Our Solutions Support Engineers get involved in several activities within pre-sales, from launch solution architecting and working with customer IT teams to facilitate technical integrations, to post-launch support. You will follow a well-articulated process and data-driven metrics to help the business identify and remedy gaps in the platform support structure, identify bugs in the platform, and triage closely with the engineering teams for fixes. Help connect product capabilities, customer processes, and contractual outcomes (savings, operational KPIs) by deeply understanding how customers use the platform day‑to‑day.
