AI Solutions Engineer

Summary

Fortress Information Security is a cybersecurity company focused on helping customers address information security and related operational challenges. The AI Solutions Engineer rapidly builds AI-enabled prototypes, automations, dashboards, and internal tools, connects them to real data, demonstrates them to stakeholders, and hands validated concepts to Product and Engineering for scaling.

Responsibilities

• 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

Skills

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