Technical Product & Solutions Specialist

Technical Product & Solutions Specialist

Location: Canada, Remote

Reports to: Chief Product Officer

This is a technical, customer-facing product role at the intersection of AUTOSPEX®, infrastructure condition assessment, and product development.

As our Technical Product & Solutions Specialist, you will become a trusted technical resource for our customers and internal teams. You'll develop deep expertise in AUTOSPEX® and work directly with engineers, infrastructure owners, consultants, and other technical stakeholders to help them understand and effectively apply the platform to their real-world needs.

The role goes beyond supporting the technology we have today. You'll develop a deep understanding of how customers work, what they are trying to accomplish, where their workflows break down, and what they need next. You'll distinguish product gaps from training or process issues, identify recurring needs across customers, and translate those insights into clear, actionable requirements for Niricson's Product, Engineering, and R&D teams.

Working closely with the Chief Product Officer, you'll own day-to-day customer onboarding, product follow-up, and backlog coordination, independently moving routine work forward within agreed priorities. The CPO retains ownership of product strategy, roadmap commitments and major scope or priority decisions; Engineering retains ownership of technical design, estimates and implementation.

You'll also work closely with Sales and Portfolio Growth when technical expertise is required for customer discussions, demonstrations, proposals or solution development. While commercial ownership remains with those teams, you'll provide the technical and customer intelligence needed to help Niricson create greater value for its customers and continually improve AUTOSPEX®.

If you enjoy understanding complex technology, solving real customer problems, and turning what you learn into better products and solutions, you'll have a meaningful impact in this role.
