Technical Consultant (German Speaker)

Overview

At Yokoy, our vision is simple: empower companies to save money on every dollar they spend. We’re shaping a future where businesses handle their finances efficiently, securely, and compliantly through AI and automation. Yokoy is a TravelPerk company, bringing together two platforms that transform how companies operate.

We’re looking for a Senior Solutions Architect / Technical Consultant to help us lead and manage the technical workstream of internal implementation projects. You will provide expert guidance on complex system configurations, troubleshoot integration challenges, and ensure seamless data flow between Yokoy and third‑party enterprise systems (e.g., SAP, Business Central, Microsoft Finance & Operations, Datev, Xero). You will also consult on our Spend Export File, tailoring its configuration to customer requirements and minimizing manual data manipulation. You will support implementation partners, improve technical documentation, and contribute to internal initiatives like beta testing and MVP development for new connectors. This role is ideal for candidates with a strong technical background in system integration and a customer‑focused approach to delivering seamless implementation experiences.

What you’ll do and how you’ll contribute to delivering successful implementations matters from day one.

What You’ll Do

• Technical Integration & Consulting: Lead and manage the technical work stream of Yokoy implementation projects with customers’ existing systems.
• Ensure alignment with client requirements on the technical work stream.
• Provide expert guidance on integrating Yokoy with enterprise systems, including ERP and HR solutions.
• Consult on the Spend Export File, tailoring its configuration to customer requirements to minimize manual manipulation.
• Integration & Troubleshooting: Design, implement, and troubleshoot integrations using APIs and sFTP.
• Debug integration issues to ensure smooth data flow between systems.
• Map and transform data between different systems for synchronization.
• Client & Partner Collaboration: Work closely with clients to analyze technical requirements and act as the primary technical liaison throughout the implementation.
• Support Implementation Partners as needed (e.g., escalations, technical expertise).
• Collaborate with internal teams (Customer Engineering, Professional Services, Support) to address technical inquiries.
• Process Improvement & Innovation: Improve technical documentation from an implementation perspective, collaborating with the Product Writer.
• Participate in Beta testing of new connectors to ensure seamless integration and functionality.
• Contribute to internal initiatives such as the development of MVPs for new connectors.

What You’ll Need

• Strong knowledge of SaaS architectures and integration capabilities.
• Hands-on experience integrating SaaS solutions with enterprise systems such as ERPs and HR tools.
• Familiarity with coding and scripting for custom integrations and configurations.
• Proficiency in API-based integrations (SOAP & REST) and secure data exchange methods (sFTP).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to debug technical issues efficiently.
• Strong communication skills for engaging with enterprise customers and providing technical guidance.
• Basic project management skills to ensure successful onboarding and timely delivery of technical aspects.
• Ideally experienced in functional consulting related to finance, ERP systems, and infrastructure elements such as FTP. Expertise in the expense management domain is highly preferred.
• Fluency in English and German is required; additional languages are a plus.

What You’ll Get

• Ownership & Impact: From day one, you’ll have the autonomy to own your work and make a real difference.
• Dynamic Environment: Work in a fast‑paced setting where you can quickly see and learn from the impact of your contributions.
• Flexibility: We focus on outcomes, not hours—work when you’re most productive.
• Hybrid Work Model: In‑person collaboration with three days in the office per week.
• Competitive Package: Flexible and attractive compensation package, with potential to share in our success.
• Remote Work: Work from anywhere for up to 20 days per year.
• Wellbeing: Private healthcare or gym allowance (location‑dependent), plus access to therapy and coaching support.
• Giving Back: 16 paid hours annually to volunteer for a cause that matters to you.
• Parental Leave: 12 to 16 weeks of paid leave, depending on location and eligibility.
