Staff Solutions Engineer

Archetype AI is seeking a highly motivated Solutions Engineer to join their Solutions organization. In this customer-facing role, you will work directly with customers to scope, design, and deliver production solutions on the Archetype AI platform, managing technical execution from discovery through deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Partner directly with customers to understand requirements, scope solutions, and deliver production deployments across predictive maintenance, safety, and industrial IoT use cases
• Lead technical discovery, architecture discussions, demos, and proof-of-concept builds with customers and prospects
• Design and build full-stack applications and integrations that solve real customer problems, from prototype through production hand-off
• Build and maintain backend services, APIs, and data flows that power real-time visualization and analytics in customer environments
• Extend our plugin architecture (primarily backend, with frontend contributions as needed) following established design patterns
• Implement protocol-level integrations: REST APIs, IoT connectivity (MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus), streaming video (RTSP), and multi-sensor data flows
• Contribute to edge-side software where needed: sensor ingestion, buffering, on-device processing, and reliable transmission to the cloud
• Develop and manage data processing pipelines with messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar)
• Support reliable delivery into customer environments through CI/CD, Kubernetes/Docker deployments, and infrastructure-as-code
• Apply best engineering practices: testing, observability, versioning, and maintainability
• Produce customer-facing technical documentation, runbooks, and internal templates that make successful deployments repeatable
