About the role

You will sit inside delivery teams for the duration of engagements, not alongside them. You will attend design and development sessions, review technical decisions as they are being made, and intervene when something is heading in the wrong direction. You will not wait for a review gate. You will be the engineering rigour in the room.

About the Role

This is not a traditional enterprise architecture role.

Accelerant is operating in a period of rapid change. Significant internal systems across finance, operations, and data are being implemented. Business users across the organisation are building AI-enabled capabilities at a pace that exceeds the capacity of central engineering teams to review and govern them. The ways in which software is designed and built are themselves changing, with AI-assisted development and agentic tooling becoming part of everyday practice.

The Forward-Deployed Solution Engineer exists to respond to all of this in real time, from inside the teams doing the work, not from a distance.

They drive solutions quickly, make independent technical judgements, and hold the quality bar without becoming a bottleneck.
