Lead Solutions Engineer

At Faculty, we transform organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-centric AI.

With a decade of experience, we provide over 300 global customers with software, bespoke AI consultancy, and Fellows from our award winning Fellowship programme.

Our expert team brings together leaders from across government, academia and global tech giants to solve the biggest challenges in applied AI.

Should you join us, you'll have the chance to work with, and learn from, some of the brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of the world.

Frontier is Faculty's AI as a service product - an AI-powered simulation technology which improves the speed, quality and execution of decisions across enterprise. Using a computational twin framework, it goes beyond business intelligence and data science to connect AI models and siloed data from across organisations, and enable decision intelligence on a new scale.

In line with our conviction that AI should be human-led, Frontier enables the best combination of human and machine intelligence by making AI models interactive so business users can test future scenarios, understand impact, and make optimal decisions.

This is an influential and client-facing position at the intersection of sales and a new class of technology. It requires an individual who thrives on distilling clarity from abstract problems, is tenacious in the face of complexity, and wants to design large, holistic solutions to real-world problems with the support of exceptional technologists and delivery teams.

As a Lead Solutions Engineer your role will be to understand customer needs and how they map on to the feature set of our Frontier product. You will be responsible for discovering client needs, designing technical solutions which address these, and supporting the sales/delivery teams with compelling and well-scoped proposals. You'll lead on communicating these solutions to the customer through presentations and demos, and will gather customer feedback to influence future proposals and product roadmaps. At a Lead level, we will look to you to feed into our wider technology strategy, designing solutions for scalability that go beyond specific point-problems.
