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 Senior Forward Deployed Engineer is a hands-on software engineer who embeds with the people and organizations using Qira across Lenovo teams, consumer experiences, partner initiatives, and enterprise environments. You will build what each program needs, integrate it with the systems and devices people already use, and own the outcome from discovery through production adoption. This is a fully remote role with travel to Lenovo, partner, and customer sites.\nYour initial focus will be leading priority Qira adoption programs, beginning with Lenovo’s “Customer Zero” program and potentially spanning consumer experiences, partner initiatives, and enterprise deployments as priorities evolve. You will engage senior business, product, and technical stakeholders as a credible technical peer, and bring what you learn in the field back into the product. 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.\nLocation: US Remote, up to 25% travel\nWhat You’ll Do\nLead priority Qira adoption programs, beginning with “Customer Zero”: deploy, configure, and run Qira in real contexts, driving adoption and surfacing requirements from live usage. \nEmbed with internal teams, consumer experiences, partner initiatives, and enterprise customers to map workflows, scope use cases, and turn ambiguous asks into deployable solutions. \nWrite production code that ships into real environments: integrations, connectors, tool-using agents and skills, and MCP servers as the team’s standard integration pattern. \nOwn deployments end to end across identity and SSO, device and app configuration, security and access review, and workflow integration, troubleshooting hands-on until they work in production. \nFor enterprise deployments, engage CIO, CISO, and IT-administrator stakeholders on security posture, deployment models, integration patterns, and manageability. \nDefine how each deployment is judged, including task success, safety, and adoption, and feed the results back to the product team. \nSupport Qira launches, early-access programs, and use-case development across user segments, from beta cohorts to general availability. \nTurn repeatable deployment work into reusable components and patterns, and translate field requirements into engineering input that shapes the Qira roadmap. \nMentor engineers and set the standards and playbook for how Qira is deployed. \nBasic Qualifications\n8+ years in software engineering, forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, or applied AI, including significant customer-facing delivery. \nProficiency in Python or TypeScript, with a track record of shipping production code. \nShipped a tool-using LLM agent or LLM application to production, with hands-on experience in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompt design, and evaluation. \nIndependently deployed, integrated, and troubleshot software in customer or enterprise environments, including leading pilots or rollouts. \nTrack record of driving adoption of what you built, not only delivering it. \nExperience engaging senior business, product, and technical stakeholders, including CIO, CISO, or IT leadership where applicable, on adoption, security, deployment, and integration decisions. \nMentored engineers or set the technical standards for a delivery effort. \nBachelor’s degree in a technical field.\nPreferred Qualifications\nEnterprise identity and SSO (SAML, OAuth, OIDC, Entra ID, RBAC) and/or workflow automation and iPaaS platforms such as Workato. \nStrong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical decisions in plain language to business and executive audiences. \nBuilt reusable components that others adopted, such as an agent framework, MCP server, reference architecture, or deployment playbook. \nTaken a production deployment through a security or access-control review, including BYOC, on-prem, or data residency requirements. \nBuilt retrieval that respects source permissions over enterprise content (Microsoft 365, file shares, or similar). \nExperience with Windows, Android, or device management (Intune, Android Enterprise). \nFluency in AI-assisted development workflows, with Cursor and Linear or equivalent tools. \nWhat Success Looks Like\nQira capabilities running in production across priority programs, beginning with Customer Zero, with measurable adoption.\nClear success measures (task success, safety, adoption) defined and tracked for each deployment.\nDeployments led independently, with core engineering engaged through defined channels for material product, security, and reliability needs.\nReusable deployment patterns and components contributed back to the product.\nA repeatable deployment playbook that other engineers can follow.\n#LI-Remote\nThe base salary range budgeted for this position is $190,000 - $210,000. Individuals may also be considered for bonus and/or commission.\nWe are an Equal Opportunity Employer and do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, status as a veteran, and basis of disability or any federal, state, or local protected class.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5726,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Servers & Data Center Hardware","Smartphones","Laptops"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T18:23:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.9,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":9,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lenovo-sr-forward-deployed-engineer-remote","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lenovo-sr-forward-deployed-engineer-remote.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T12:36:01Z","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":11149,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"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":15044},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=15044"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flenovo-sr-forward-deployed-engineer-remote"},{"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%2Flenovo-sr-forward-deployed-engineer-remote"},{"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%2Flenovo-sr-forward-deployed-engineer-remote"},{"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/lenovo-sr-forward-deployed-engineer-remote\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flenovo-sr-forward-deployed-engineer-remote"}]}
