About us
Xiatech is the pioneer of Xfuze, the Agentic Orchestration platform. It is the world’s first SaaS solution that combines AI-powered composable Integration, Data Management, Analytics and Orchestration to innovatively connect systems, create a single view of data, and deliver actionable insights in one cloud-native platform. Xfuze also now provides companies with full Agentic capability including some pre-built Agents available to deploy in an instant. Business, technology, and data teams use Xfuze to shorten time-to-insights, accelerate digital transformation, and extend the value of their existing technology investments as well as delivering Agentic capability at speed..

We’re a culture-first organisation and put our people at the forefront of everything we do. We believe that a great working environment leads to a happy, high-performing team, which is why we offer our people the flexibility to work remotely or from our beautiful office in Fitzrovia, Central London.

The Role
We're looking for a highly motivated, independent Principal Implementation Engineer to become an Xfuze "super user", architecting and delivering end-to-end, data-driven solutions for our clients. You'll be involved from the start of each engagement: understanding requirements at pre-sales, running business analysis, building conceptual architecture through to high-level design across data, integration, and agentic AI workflows, then getting hands-on to configure the platform yourself.

You'll likely have a background in data and/or integration, an architecture and design mindset, strong communication skills, and a natural ability to lead others. Ideally you've worked on a data/integration or complex Enterprise SaaS platform within a professional services team, with a track record of delivering successful projects. Deep technical expertise everywhere isn't required, but a solid technical foundation and willingness to learn are essential. This is a broad, end-to-end role, so flexibility is key.

Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Delivery
  • Lead other Implementation Engineers, helping them grow and get the most from Xfuze
  • Own pre-sales, discovery, design, environment, releases, and supportability end-to-end, acting as gatekeeper for designs from other Senior Implementation Engineers
  • Support estimating and sizing projects through pre-sales and delivery
  • Collaborate with Client Partners and Pre-Sales on commercial aspects, and with the product team (including our Central Design Group) on technical aspects
  • Make high-level design decisions with enterprise-grade architectural maturity, validating designs prior to formal review
Product Implementation
  • Take a "standard first" approach, challenging requests for bespoke customisation
  • Analyse, explore, and validate data with clients to understand structures and use cases
  • Identify product gaps and coordinate with the platform team to resolve them
  • Produce high-level designs using standard templates; scrutinise and approve low-level designs, config specs, and code
  • Deliver complex implementations, including custom plugins and data model extensions, working with data engineers and platform developers
  • Configure connectors (e.g., Shopify, Akeneo, Bloomreach, Optimove), workflows, and data transformations
  • Create and extend Power BI dashboards using Xfuze data layers
  • Support rigorous testing and QA of solutions
Consulting & Client Engagement
  • Contribute to commercial proposals and implementation strategy
  • Understand client landscapes and use cases; advise on best practices and the right implementation path
  • Manage key stakeholders (e.g., Solution Architects, Heads of Engineering/Development/Data)
  • Produce documentation and training guides for other Implementation Engineers
  • Act as the "Voice of the Customer", advocating for recurring custom work to be folded into the Core Platform roadmap

Your Knowledge & Experience
Must have
  • Independent, self-motivated, and results-oriented, with the drive to see initiatives through
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication, confident presenting to clients and stakeholders at all levels
Should have
  • Strong business analysis skills: capturing requirements, analysing use cases, translating them into solutions
  • Strong data modelling knowledge, able to design complex models
  • Competent in Python or similar for writing functions and plugins (not necessarily expert level)
  • Intermediate SQL
  • Proficient with at least one cloud environment
  • Comfortable using AI tooling for efficiency; understands Agentic AI concepts and AI guardrails
  • Retail experience preferred; expertise in at least one complex domain required
Desirable
  • Proficient in Power BI or similar (or able to learn quickly)
  • Good working knowledge of modern architectures and leading data platforms
  • Experience with Boomi, Mulesoft, or similar integration platforms

Your Personality
