About the Role: Customer Engineers (CEs) are the technical drivers of customer success at Aircall. They ensure that what we sell becomes what customers use — and what they use becomes what they grow. CEs own the onboarding, activation, and technical adoption journey , ensuring every customer realises measurable value from Aircall’s platform. They combine deep product and integration expertise with strong communication skills, structured project management, and commercial awareness. This is a customer-facing, proactive, and high-impact role — designed for those who can translate complex technology into clear outcomes and act as trusted advisors from implementation through expansion. *Unfortunately candidates without the right to work in Australia cannot be considered at this time Key Responsibilities 1. Own Customer Activation You’ll lead the technical onboarding for new customers - configuring integrations, enabling features, and guiding them to first value with confidence and clarity. Your goal: fast, frictionless activation and a confident go-live experience that sets the foundation for long-term success. 2. Drive Adoption and Growth Beyond launch, you’ll help customers unlock the full potential of Aircall. You’ll monitor product usage, identify adoption opportunities, and host enablement sessions or office hours to deepen engagement. You’ll ensure customers understand - and use - the capabilities that make a real impact, including our AI-driven features. This might require supporting our customers in building or owning the implementation of advanced services with low-code solutions or scripts on the basis of a professional services catalog. 3. Manage Renewals and Value Realization In close partnership with Account Managers, you’ll bring a technical lens to the renewal process. You’ll validate system health, ensure adoption goals are met, and demonstrate ROI through clear value metrics. Your partnership helps ensure customers renew confidently, knowing Aircall powers measurable outcomes. 4. Lead Add-On Activations When customers purchase new modules - such as AI Assist Pro or advanced analytics - you’ll oversee the setup and activation, ensuring features are properly configured, adopted, and delivering value from day one. 5. Proactively Monitor and Support Your Portfolio Each week, you’ll review customer health signals, product telemetry, and usage trends. You’ll reach out before issues arise — to coach, consult, and prevent risk — ensuring every customer feels guided, not reactive. 6. Manage Customer Escalations When critical or tactical issues surface, you’ll act as the project manager - coordinating Support, Product, and Engineering to ensure a fast, transparent resolution. You’ll handle a handful of structured escalations each quarter and use those moments to strengthen trust and process maturity. 7. Collaborate Across the Business You’ll partner daily with Account Managers , Support , and Solutions Engineers to deliver a seamless customer journey. Your insights will feed product improvements, influence roadmaps, and help shape how Aircall scales customer value.

Confident configuring and troubleshooting customer environments (CRM, analytics, automation, communication stacks).

Partners seamlessly with AMs, ensuring data-driven insight feeds into renewal and upsell planning. Comfortable contributing to value discussions and supporting commercial conversations with factual adoption data. Collaboration & Influence Works fluidly across SE, AM, Support, and Product functions. Acts as the connective tissue between technical delivery and business outcomes. Brings solutions, not just escalations — always seeks to simplify and improve.
