What you can expect as the AI Solutions Engineer at Fortress...

*The AI Solutions Engineer is the rapid prototyper at 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 Engineer validates ideas 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 develop the data engineering, 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 about 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 (
