About the role

Udemy is looking for a Sales and Solutions Engineer with excellent communication and organizational skills, knowledge and experience with software development practices and techniques, and a passion to help businesses become modern "learning and upskilling organizations". Success requires close collaboration with multiple teams including engineering, design, sales, customer success, support, and a set of diverse stakeholders around the world. You will need to understand general issues across a wide technical landscape from authentication protocols (e.g. SAML, OIDC, SCIM, OAuth) to debug the effects of a corporate web proxy, and supporting our Customer Success team with API-based integration for small and large enterprise customers. Knowledge of security protocols and relevant data privacy surrounding handling of personal data is a big plus. Driving results for our customers and partners is vital, and this role requires someone that will fill the gaps that exist with a keen ability to communicate with technical and non-technical audiences. As the world so often changes around us, you will need to be flexible in a fast paced and growing business.

What you'll be doing:
  • Serve as technical subject matter expert for customers, and internal teams on all aspects of integration between Udemy Business and other SaaS applications; e.g., via Web Single Sign-On, API and API-based integrations, external analytics, and reporting data streams.
  • Create documentation such as code samples, integration articles and tutorials for technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Create/Manage open source projects in partnerships with your Sales and Solutions Engineer colleagues.
  • Become a key contributor to Udemy's community engagement for our UB customers.
  • Implement and document solutions that leverate Udemy Business Web Services (e.g., REST APIs and xAPIs) with 3rd party SaaS applications.
  • Support our partners with use case definition, technical architecture, solutioning and deployment of Udemy Business within their business models and tech stack.
  • Collaborate with the Solutions Engineering, Product Engineering, Legal, Information Security teams to improve our integration services and product security messaging.
What you'll have
  • Experience working with Human Resources (HR)/Human Capital Management (HCM) and Learning ecosystem solutions.
  • 5-7 years in enterprise Sales Engineering or Solution Consulting experience in a SaaS organization.
  • Technical experience with:
    • Python (Django framework), java, modern JS frameworks (Angular, React)
    • Experience working with microservices.
    • Understanding of data structures and algorithms.
    • Working knowledge of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) architecture (e.g., AWS).
    • Experience with popular structured query languages (mysql, postgres, pl/sql).
  • Solid understanding of authentication protocols (e.g., SAML 2.0, SCIM, OAuth/OpenID Connect), Web APIs, SMTP (e.g, SendGrid), DNS (e.g., CloudFlare) and experience debugging Web applications (e.g., Chrome DevTools).
  • Passionate about leveraging the latest advancements in AI and machine learning to drive innovation with our prospects and customers. As an S&SE, you will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge genAI technologies to help our prospects and customers to achieve business outcomes through learning and upskilling with Udemy Business.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a track record of successfully overcoming technical and security objections in customer integrations; problem-solving is in your DNA.
  • An understanding of core security concepts; e.g., SSL/TLS, encryption ciphers, and LGPD/GDPR data privacy.
  • Hands-on experience architecting or deploying Single Sign-On (SSO) with SAML 2.0, OIDC, SCIM, Active Directory, LDAP, OAuth 2, across disparate identity solutions such as Okta, Azure/AD FS, PingOne/PingFederate, OneLogin.

  • We're invested in creating an inclusive environment that welcomes a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. From creating employee resource groups, ensuring we're a Fair Pay Workplace, and building a flexible work culture, our belonging, equity, diversity, and inclusion (BEDI) initiatives always put our people first. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to work because when we all do, we're better for it.

  • Learning is what we do - inside and out. Our Learning & Development team is second to none, helping ensure your journey is one of continuous progression. You'll also have unlimited access to Udemy courses, monthly UDays (meeting-free professional development days), and a generous annual professional development stipend.
