Solution Engineer

Aboard • New York, NY

6d • $150,000 - $190,000

About The Position

Aboard is an AI-native software delivery agency. We're not vibe coding, not SaaS, and not a traditional agency—we use AI across the entire development lifecycle to ship production-grade custom software in weeks, not months, at a fraction of traditional cost. The combination of off the shelf and our proprietary tools help us move fast; our team closes the loop with the expert refinement that makes systems enterprise-grade.

As a Solution Engineer, you'll be the bridge between customer needs and delivered software. This hybrid role pairs pre-sales technical consulting with hands-on implementation: you'll run discovery, design and prototype solutions, close deals, and build the production systems that solve real problems.

It's a role for someone who can translate business requirements into working software while showing customers what's now possible.

Requirements

• 5+ years in solution engineering, technical consulting, product management, or similar client-facing technical roles
• Track record of designing custom software solutions and seeing them through to production
• Technical fluency with modern web architectures—you can evaluate tradeoffs without writing production code daily
• Strong UI/UX instincts and the ability to translate business requirements into clear specs
• Proven ability to build rapport with both technical and business stakeholders, and to close or scope technical engagements

Nice To Haves

• Background in consulting, agency, or professional services
• Vertical depth in insurance/insurtech, finance, or operations
• Familiarity with AI/ML tools and prompt engineering
• Experience at an early-stage startup

Responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery to understand customer problems and requirements
• Run tailored demos and build proofs-of-concept that validate feasibility and business value
• Articulate Aboard's differentiation from traditional agencies, SaaS, and AI coding tools
• Produce key artifacts: requirements docs, technical specs, and data schemas
• Build production-grade software—data models, business logic, integrations, and UIs—using AI tooling
• Partner with engineering on legacy migration, security, integrations, and deployment into customer environments
• Ensure solutions meet enterprise security, scalability, and compliance requirements
• Provide post-launch support and synthesize feedback for Product and Engineering
• Contribute to our internal knowledge base and solution patterns
• Drive adoption and expansion across customer accounts
