About Aboard
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.
The Role
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.
What You'll Do
Solution Design
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
Implementation & Delivery
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
Customer Success & Collaboration
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
What We're Looking For
Required Experience
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
Preferred Qualifications
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
