Implementation Engineer Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

We Are Route

When shoppers hit "buy," a great customer experience doesn’t end, it’s just getting started. For too long, everything after checkout has been the weakest link in ecommerce: confusing tracking, lost or damaged packages, clunky returns, and missed opportunities to turn first-time buyers into lifelong fans. That\'s why we built Route.

Our mission is simple: we create shopper confidence that fuels brand growth. Route is the leading post-purchase platform for modern ecommerce, trusted by thousands of brands and protecting more than $20 billion in gross merchandise value to date. From package protection and industry-leading order tracking to returns and exchanges, cash back loyalty, and engaging product recommendations, Route brings every moment after checkout into one powerful platform, empowering shoppers with visibility and peace of mind while giving merchants loyalty that lasts well beyond the first sale.

Since launching in 2018, Route has raised over $250 million from leading investors including Craft Ventures, Hedosophia, and Hanaco Ventures, and has grown into a complete post-purchase ecosystem loved by millions of shoppers and the brands they buy from. Throughout that growth, we\'ve stayed committed to building innovative products that empower our customers and to fostering a people-first, values-driven culture that makes Route a place where great work and great people thrive.

We\'re looking for talented people across the ecommerce space to join us on the next chapter of this adventure. Don\'t just take our word for it, Discover what life at Route has to offer.

The team

Route\'s Solutions Engineering department is the technical backbone of our merchant-facing organization. We partner with merchants and the non-technical teams across Route who serve them whenever the conversation gets technical, from the first demo through launch and across the life of the account. We own the technical scoping and solution design, the implementation of Route\'s post-purchase products on every storefront we touch, and the technical relationship that keeps merchants thriving on the platform long after go-live. This is a small, high-leverage team that treats AI as a force multiplier by using AI tooling to move faster, diligence deeper, and raise the technical bar on every merchant interaction.

The Implementation team specifically is responsible for implementing the Route widget on merchant sites, ensuring seamless integration so merchants can get the most out of Route\'s products and features. The biggest challenges we tackle are reducing merchant time to revenue, handling complex custom integrations, and maintaining implementation quality across a high volume of merchant onboarding.

• Embody a culture of innovation, transparency, discovery, and collaboration
• Comfortable using AI tools (such as Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) to accelerate problem-solving, scripting, and documentation; a mindset toward leveraging AI to work smarter and move faster is an expectation
• Familiarity with one or more major e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or similar) preferred but not required. 
• Front-end development experience  preferred but not required.
