- 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

- 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
