About The Position

As a Solutions Engineer, you will partner closely with government finance, budget, and operations teams to design, implement, and support technical solutions that modernize budget development, forecasting, reporting, and performance management across public-sector organizations.
In this role, you will help agencies improve how they plan, allocate, monitor, and adjust financial resources—supporting annual budgets, multi-year forecasts, capital planning, and scenario modeling. You will translate complex budgeting and financial planning requirements into scalable, reliable technical solutions that enhance fiscal control, transparency, and decision-making.
