Internally this role sits in our Solution Delivery Management team, and the contractual title is Solution Delivery Manager.Why this job is excitingAs a Solution Delivery Engineer you are the technical owner of how our biometric solutions land at a customer — identity document and passport issuance, national elections, criminal investigation, border crossings and e-gates, and identity verification for banks and enterprises. You design the solution, write the migration code and the tooling that moves real data into it, prove it works, and then explain all of it to the people who have to sign it off.This is a hands-on engineering role with a customer in the room. Your weeks are spent in schemas, APIs, logs and analyses — and in making that work legible to somebody non-technical. It is also the role with the widest view of what we build: you work across our solution clusters, R&D, product, support and pre-sales, and you are the person a customer's technical lead calls first.You start broad and then go deep. In your first months you get across all of our solution clusters. Around month three you pick one, with your manager and that cluster's solution owner, and by the end of your first year you are the delivery-side technical reference for the solutions in it.This is a medior to senior position — T3 to T6 in our career framework. Where you land depends on what you actually bring rather than on years served, and a candidate can come out above or below that range. The coding is not incidental at any of those levels: you will write efficient code for data migrations, build custom tools, debug intricate integration problems and think algorithmically about performance.
