What you can expect as the AI Solutions Engineer at Fortress

The AI Solutions Engineer is the rapidprototyperat the center of Fortress's forward deployed engineering capability. This role turns urgent customer and internal problems into working solutions fast, using modern AI-assisted development platforms (such as Lovable, Claude, Retool, and similar tools) to build functional prototypes, automations, and internal tooling in days rather than months.This role works closely with Solutions Engineering, Product, and senior forward deployed engineers. The AI Solutions Engineervalidatesideas quickly, demonstrates value to customers and stakeholders, and hands off proven concepts to Product and Engineering with clear requirements so they can be scaled into supported capabilities.This role is designed as a growth path: high performers will progressively developthe dataengineering, cybersecurity, and customer-facing skills to move toward the Forward Deployed Engineer track.This is an ideal opportunity for a hands-on builder who moves fast, learns tools quickly, and cares more about shipping working solutions than any particular technology stack.

Responsibilities Include

• Rapidly build working prototypes of AI-enabled tools, workflows, and applications using platforms such as Lovable, Claude, Retool, and similar AI-assisted development tools.
• Turn loosely defined problem statements from customers, Solutions Engineering, and internal teams into functional demos and proofs of concept.
• Build and iterate on internal tooling, dashboards, and automations that reduce manual effort and improve time-to-resolution.
• Connect prototypes to real data through APIs, integrations, and data sources (e.g., Supabase or similar backends).
• Demo prototypes to internal stakeholders and, over time, to customers; incorporate feedback in fast iteration cycles.
• Document what was built and hand off validated concepts to Product Management and Engineering with clear requirements so they can be scaled into supported capabilities.
• Follow responsible development practices: version control, access hygiene, and appropriate use of AI tools within company standards.
• Pair with senior forward deployed engineers, progressively taking on more technical depth and customer-facing responsibility.
• Other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to build working software or applications using AI-assisted and low-code development platforms (e.g., Lovable, Claude, Retool, n8n, or similar).
• Comfort working with APIs, data sources, and integrations to make prototypes function with real data.
• A builder's mindset: speed, curiosity, pragmatism, and the judgment to know when a prototype is good enough to prove the point.
• Ability to take a vague problem statement and turn it into something demonstrable without detailed specifications.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including demoing work to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Willingness to learn Fortress platform capabilities, customer workflows, and cybersecurity domain concepts.
• Must be eligible for a U.S. security clearance; successful completion of a background check is required.
• 2+ years’ experience in a related field.

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to scripting or light coding (Python, JavaScript, or SQL) beyond low-code platforms.
• Experience with Supabase, Postgres, or similar backends, and with authentication concepts (e.g., SSO).
• Familiarity with LLM concepts such as prompt engineering, RAG, or agent workflows.
• Experience in SaaS, cybersecurity, supply chain, risk management, or enterprise software.
• A portfolio of things you have built - side projects, internal tools, or shipped prototypes.
• Interest in growing into a customer-embedded Forward Deployed Engineer role.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, cybersecurity, or related field required.
