Xceptor is seeking a Senior Solutions Engineer to design, configure, and deliver production-grade solutions on our platform, driving down time-to-value for customers. You will own meaningful end-to-end slices of work from specification through implementation and deployment, while supporting other engineers and contributing to the evolution of our repeatable solutions portfolio.
What You'll Do
- Own delivery of features and technical slices end-to-end, including production support.
- Break work into small increments, keep PRs focused, and ship frequently with a bias to outcomes.
- Turn ambiguity into clarity by asking the right questions and aligning quickly on scope, constraints, and acceptance.
- Deliver production-grade functionality by default (security, performance, observability, auditability, maintainability).
- Use AI routinely to accelerate delivery (analysis, testing, documentation), validating AI-generated output and never accepting it blindly.
- Apply verification discipline appropriate to scope: unit tests, automated tests where relevant, edge cases, and basic threat/abuse considerations.
- Contribute to templates, data patterns, and workflows.
- Design and configure robust, reusable solutions on the Xceptor platform.
- Work effectively with SQL: write safe queries, with appropriate schema design, indexing, and performance trade-offs.
- Work confidently with structured and semi-structured data (XML, JSON, CSV, Excel).
- Produce automated tests aligned to the solution’s design (unit/configuration tests where applicable) and treat test quality as a first-class part of delivery.
- Keep documentation current, accurate, and useful with AI drafting, ensuring accuracy and usefulness.
- Ensure that the tribe’s quality expectations are consistently met.
- Build automated test cases for new functionality and fix issues quickly when identified.
- Understand and follow safe release practices in a regulated environment.
- Work effectively across departments to deliver outcomes, not just output.
- Share knowledge, support peers, and contribute to a positive, high-performing culture.
- Maintain a continuous learning mindset and adopt improved practices, helping others do the same.
- Step up to unblock progress, improve reliability, and strengthen the tribe’s delivery system when needed.
What We're Looking For
- Strong logical and analytical problem‑solving skills, with the ability to break down complex challenges and make sound engineering judgements.
- Extensive hands‑on experience with XML and SQL.
- Highly comfortable working with CI/CD, code reviews, and automated testing practices, and able to raise the bar for quality and reliability across the team.
- Excellent technical communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to own solutions end‑to‑end, from specification through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production readiness.
- Uses AI as a routine delivery partner to accelerate implementation and analysis, validating AI‑generated outputs through tests and review.
- Effective in an AI-first team: delegates to agents, iterates quickly, and maintains a high verification bar.
- Contributes to team-level leverage by improving templates, patterns, gates, and delivery playbooks.
- Collaborative, reliable, and accountable; takes ownership and follows through.
- Pragmatic and delivery-focused; balances pace with quality and control.
- Customer-centric mindset for regulated mission-critical environments.
- Open, curious, and motivated to learn and improve.
- Strong academic background, including a degree in a STEM subject discipline, or equivalent experience.
- Experience delivering data‑driven solutions (typically 5+ years) in Solutions Engineering, Business Analysis, Data Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience implementing solutions that include data ingestion, transformation, validation, enrichment, or workflow logic.
- Significant exposure to software development concepts (e.g., C#/.NET or a similar language).
- Experience working with XML, SQL, and structured/semi‑structured data.
- Evidence of strong engineering fundamentals and ability to learn quickly in a fast-moving environment.
