About the role

Clio is seeking a Solutions Engineer with a specialization in VoIP and unified communications to join our growing Sales team. This role focuses on technical aspects of telephony, including number porting, network readiness, and telecom regulatory requirements.

Responsibilities

• Provide business value and technical sales support for assigned opportunities for VoIP/telephony related deals.
• Collaborate closely with Sales to clearly articulate Clio Cloud communication capabilities and App Ecosystem integration partners.
• Understand competitive landscape and differentiate migration services and industry best practices.
• Serve as the technical lead and owner of technical deal strategy, including VoIP-specific scoping such as number porting complexity, network readiness, hardware/desk phone requirements, and multi-office or high call-volume routing needs.
• Strategize with Sales to create business value, drive urgency, and contribute to revenue goals.
• Enable Sales to deliver targeted, business-value driven VoIP/telephony demonstrations, and meetings.
• Guide prospects and customers through VoIP migration planning, including porting timelines, cutover sequencing, carrier-specific considerations, and hardware provisioning.
• Stay on top of industry news, AI tools, technology products, platforms, and partners to ensure deep industry and ecosystem expertise, including the broader UCaaS/VoIP competitive landscape.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Customer Success, and Engineering teams to help collect, document, communicate, and influence product roadmap based on market/customer requirements.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience working as a Solutions Engineer (or other relevant experience) for a SaaS provider.
• Working knowledge of VoIP/telephony fundamentals, including concepts like SIP, codecs, call routing, number porting, and the general shape of network requirements (bandwidth, latency, jitter).
• Creative problem solver with a proven track record of success.
• Ambitious, curious mindset to always work to find creative solutions to difficult problems.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate telephony/network concepts into plain language business value.
• Hungry to learn and help team deliver on ambitious goals in supporting the sales organization to meet revenue targets.
• Ability to build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders, including IT/technical contacts at prospect firms.
• Strong technical experience and understanding of cloud technologies, including APIs and security infrastructure.
• Serious bonus points if you have direct experience with VoIP, UCaaS, or telephony platforms (e.g. RingCentral, Dialpad, Zoom Phone, 8x8, Ooma, Vonage, VXT) in a Sales Engineering, implementation, or technical support capacity.
• Hands-on experience with number porting processes, SIP trunking, or desk phone/hardware provisioning (e.g. Yealink, Polycom).
• Familiarity with telecom regulatory requirements such as E911, STIR/SHAKEN, or 10DLC registration.
• Exposure to CCaaS/contact center concepts (ACD, skills-based or dynamic call routing, queuing, agent-level call reporting), useful for speaking credibly with higher-volume or multi-office firms whose needs extend beyond standard business telephony.
• Familiarity with open-source telephony platforms or similar softswitch/PBX architectures.
• Demonstrate a keen interest in improving your craft by using AI.

Qualifications

• Comfortable delivering technical sales presentations, product positioning, and objection handling, including confidently addressing questions about call quality, network readiness, hardware compatibility, and migration risk.
• Competitive, equitable salary with top-tier health benefits, dental, and vision insurance.

• A flexible time off policy, with an encouraged 20 days off per year.
