This is an exciting time to join Remote and make a personal difference in the global employment space as a Senior Solutions Engineering within our Remote Build organization.
As Remote expands its business, our customers and partners have increasingly complex pre-sales and implementation needs. In this role, you will be responsible for building and scaling Remote Build’s solutions engineering function, ensuring high-quality technical discovery, strong commercial outcomes, and tight alignment with Remote’s product vision — including architecting and implementing AI agent workflows that help customers and internal teams automate and scale how work gets done.
What this job can offer you
- Direct ownership of a critical growth lever: scaling technical pre-sales and implementation support through a high-performing solutions engineering team
- The opportunity to shape Remote Build’s product and engineering strategy, operating model, and standards
- A chance to build foundational programs (enablement, tooling, playbooks) that will scale across the organization
- Meaningful cross-functional work with Sales, Engineering, Solution Architecture, Product, Partnerships, CX, and Legal
What will you be doing
- Build and scale a solutions engineering function to support sales and customer outcomes
- Define role profiles and coverage model (segments, regions, product lines)
- Establish a repeatable technical discovery and solution design process
- Set clear engagement models, roles/responsibilities, and success metrics
- Own executive relationships with key customer and internal stakeholders, with accountability for:
- Commercial impact (deal support, win rates, cycle time reduction, revenue influence)
- Technical quality (solution accuracy, implementation readiness, customer satisfaction, escalations, continuous improvement)
- Alignment to product vision (AI adoption, roadmap inputs, standardization)
- Contribute to a formal solutions engineering enablement and competency program
- Define levels, requirements, and maintenance criteria (training, assessments, quality metrics)
- Partner with Solution Architecture to codify technical standards, reference architectures, and best practices
- Ensure competencies are measurable, auditable, and scalable
- Contribute to the operating rhythm to manage and scale solutions engineering
- Business reviews / performance reviews with Sales and key stakeholders
- Clear escalation paths and incident learnings
- Reporting on team health, coverage, and capability gaps
- Helping define product lines and GTM strategies for Remote build
- Building ADRs and PRDs for potential products
- Identifying and abstracting solution spaces
- Putting AI at the forefront of everything we do
- Architect and implement AI agent workflows
- Translate business processes into agent-enabled workflows (intake, orchestration, guardrails, evaluation)
- Prototype with modern LLM tooling and iterate toward production-grade implementations
- Design human-in-the-loop patterns, escalation paths, and observability (quality, cost, latency)
- Partner with Engineering and Product to ship secure, reliable agent capabilities (APIs, permissions, data access)
What you bring
- Proven experience building and leading a solutions engineering (or equivalent) function, including hiring, onboarding, and performance management
- Strong executive stakeholder management skills (internal and external), with a track record of driving outcomes through influence
- Excellent cross-functional leadership and operational rigor: you can turn ambiguous goals into repeatable processes
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical detail into executive-level narratives
- Hands-on experience designing, building, and shipping AI agent workflows (or adjacent automation/orchestration systems), with a pragmatic approach to safety, evaluation, and iteration
- Domain experience in HRTech, payroll, HCM, or adjacent industries
