Our agent-driven solutions automate complex workflows, engaging humans only when needed to maximize efficiency and accuracy. Join us at the forefront of AI innovation, where your expertise will directly shape the future of professional services. \nAs we expand our customer base, we are building a world-class forward-deployed engineering team that works directly with customers to implement, integrate, and operationalize our platform in complex enterprise environments.\nRole Overview\nWe are looking for a Solutions Architect who excels at hands-on technical work, customer interaction, and real-world problem solving. FDEs at Evolver own the technical relationship from the PoCs: demonstrating ARIA capabilities against a customer's curated use cases, then carrying that same technical relationship through implementation, go-live and expansion. in their environment. You will also sit with process owners and security teams to translate a live business function into ARIA: what ships as-is, what needs configuration, what needs an integration, and what's a real product gap to escalate instead of hacking together in field.\nYou work closely with a Strategic Engagement Lead and the Product team. You facilitate the integrations and, where needed, build custom connectors and scripts that land the account; lasting capability is written up for the Platform, not maintained as a private fork.\nKey Responsibilities\nCustomer-Facing Engineering\nWork directly with enterprise customers to deploy and configure ARIA in their production environments.\nServe as the hands-on technical expert from pre-sales PoC through discovery, onboarding, integration, value realization, and expansion.\nBreak business requirements into ARIA capabilities and explicit non-goals that Product can execute.\nDesign and run PoCs that demonstrate ARIA capabilities against curated, customer-specific use cases.\nShowcase ARIA at board, control-owner, and engineer altitude without changing the facts.\nTroubleshoot issues in real time, owning them through resolution and escalating to Platform Engineering with a diagnosis.\nIntegration & Implementation\nFacilitate integrations between ARIA and customer systems of record, APIs, warehouses, document corpora, authentication frameworks, and enterprise workflows.\nBuild custom scripts, connectors, or mappings in Python where needed to land a PoC or an account - then retire or productize them rather than running a shadow codebase.\nDesign and land deployments (identity, network, data residency, entitlements).\nMap structured and unstructured sources into a governed solution, and know when a generative path is the wrong tool.\nProduct & Platform Contribution\nGather customer feedback and turn real-world use cases into product insights - not a private feature branch.\nCollaborate with Platform Engineering to reproduce issues, validate fixes, and enhance stability.\nContribute improvements to deployment tooling, automation, and documentation.\nTell the truth in pre-sales and scoping about what is shipped versus what is still a prototype (on the roadmap).\nOperational Ownership\nDevelop playbooks, checklists, migration guides, and integration best practices.\nHelp establish repeatable, scalable processes for future deployments as we grow.\nPartner with Strategic Engagement Leads and assist on technical scoping, feasibility, and success criteria.\nLeave architecture artifacts (solution brief, data map, environment diagram) that another FDE or a Platform Engineer can pick up cold.\nExperience\n6+ years in software engineering, solutions architecture, implementation engineering, or forward-deployed roles.\nExperience working directly with enterprise customers in technical engagements - including at least one production go-live.\nHands-on experience deploying or integrating systems on a major cloud provider (Azure, AWS and GCP).\nStrong Python experience in production contexts; SQL and comfort reading TypeScript / Platform code are a plus.\nFluency across data systems (APIs, warehouses, ERPs or other systems of record, unstructured corpora).\nWorking literacy in modern AI systems: grounding, tools or agents, evaluation, failure modes, and auditability.\nExperience in a regulated or high-control environment (security review, entitlements, change windows).\nDepth in at least one of Finance, Tax, Risk, Internal Audit, or GRC is a strong plus - enough to be taken seriously by a process owner.\nExperience working in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments is a plus.\nEducation\nBachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\nTechnical Skills\nFamiliarity with Azure services; additional cloud or private-network deployment experience is welcome.\nExperience integrating software with enterprise systems, APIs, identity providers, and both structured and unstructured data.\nSolid understanding of cloud deployment models, security constraints, identity, and operational best practices.\nAbility to write a solution architecture that other teams can execute.\nStrong proficiency in Python.\nStrong debugging skills, including logs, traces, and distributed troubleshooting.\nSoft Skills\nExcellent communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including security and function owners.\nAnalytical mindset with a strong focus on problem-solving and scope discipline.\nComfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic startup culture.\nCustomer-obsessed mindset with a strong sense of ownership.\nHighly collaborative, resourceful, and comfortable navigating ambiguity.\nJudgment to disappoint a stakeholder rather than promise a product we will not ship.\nBenefits\nCompetitive Compensation: Tailored to your experience and skill set.\nCareer Growth: Opportunities for professional development and leadership roles.\nInnovative Culture: Work at the frontier where real customer problems meet cutting-edge technology.\nImpact & Ownership: Join early and help shape how we deploy ARIA to enterprise customers.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6134,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Decision Intelligence","Financial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T02:52:21Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":159500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":2}],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.185,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":290,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/evolver-agency-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/evolver-agency-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T00:58:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1490,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":155158},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=155158"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fevolver-agency-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fevolver-agency-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fevolver-agency-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/evolver-agency-forward-deployed-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fevolver-agency-forward-deployed-engineer"}]}
