Our team takes Qira from platform to real-world use across Lenovo teams, consumer experiences, partner initiatives, and enterprise environments. We discover high-value use cases, build the integrations and agent capabilities that make Qira useful, and turn adoption learning into reusable product improvements.\nAbout the Role\nThe Forward Deployed Engineer is a hands-on software engineer who works directly with the people and teams using Qira to discover use cases and make them work in real contexts. You will build and ship the integrations, configurations, and agents each program needs, and stay with them until the capability is adopted and working in production.\nThis is a hybrid role based in Morrisville, with at least three days a week on site with Lenovo’s business and IT teams. Travel of up to 25% to other Lenovo locations, partner sites, and customer sites is expected. Your initial focus will be priority Qira adoption programs, beginning with Customer Zero and potentially spanning consumer experiences, partner initiatives, and enterprise deployments as priorities evolve. This is an engineering role first. You write and ship production code, and you spend much of your time with the people who use it.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDeploy and configure Qira for priority adoption programs, beginning with Lenovo’s “Customer Zero” program and working directly with users and IT teams. \nWork with stakeholders to map workflows and pain points, and help scope them into deployable use cases. \nWrite production code that ships into real environments: integrations, connectors, agents and skills, including MCP servers as the team’s standard integration pattern. \nConfigure and troubleshoot identity and SSO, device and app settings, security, and workflow integrations hands-on. \nSupport Qira pilots, beta programs, launches, and use-case development across internal, consumer, partner, and enterprise user groups. \nDrive adoption after deployment: track usage, gather feedback, fix issues, and improve what has been built. \nDocument deployments and contribute to the reusable components and playbook used across Qira rollouts. \nRaise field issues and requirements to the engineering team with clear, actionable detail. \nBasic Qualifications\n8+ years in software engineering, solutions engineering, applied AI, or forward deployed engineering. \nExperience with Python or TypeScript, with experience shipping production code. \nWorking knowledge of LLMs, prompt design, retrieval-based architectures, and agent-based systems, with hands-on experience building at least one LLM-powered feature. \nExperience building production integrations against external APIs. \nDeployed or supported software directly with users or IT teams, and troubleshot it in a live environment. \nTrack record of driving adoption of what you built, not only delivering it. \nBachelor’s degree in a technical field.\nPreferred Qualifications\nEnterprise identity and SSO (SAML, OAuth, OIDC, Entra ID) and/or workflow automation and iPaaS platforms such as Workato. \nExperience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or agent frameworks. \nJudged an LLM feature using a success metric, a review set, or adoption data. \nExperience with Windows, Android, or device management (Intune, Android Enterprise). \nExposure to enterprise security and access controls, such as supporting a security review. \nFluency in AI-assisted development workflows, with Cursor and Linear or equivalent tools. \nClear communicator, comfortable working directly with business users, IT teams, and end users. \nWhat Success Looks Like\nQira capabilities in daily use by the teams and users you support. \nWorking solutions in users’ hands each sprint, not demos or slideware. \nIssues resolved in the field, with material product, security, and reliability risks escalated through clear channels. \nDeployment patterns documented and reused on the next rollout. \n#LI-Hybrid\nWe are an Equal Opportunity Employer and do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, religion,
