A forward-deployed solutions engineer is sought for a regulated financial technology environment. The role splits time between building integrations and product flows and working directly with external partners and internal product teams to identify and solve problems. Responsibilities include prototyping, moving successful solutions into early production, and handing mature implementations to dedicated production engineering teams. The technical environment includes cloud infrastructure, messaging, .NET, frontend development, and Python.
Highlights
A hybrid engineering role combining hands-on development with partner-facing problem solving, integration prototyping, early production delivery, and collaboration across product and engineering teams.
Description
Forward Deployed Engineer (/Solutions Engineer) | FCA-regulated Fintech | London, Hybrid (3 days in office)
An FCA-regulated fintech in London is hiring a Solutions Engineer.
The role is a forward deployed engineering position, covering the platform's integrations with partner banks, white-label and distribution partners, and introducer firms.
About half the job is building: prototyping integrations and new product flows, then taking the ones that work into early production.
The other half is spent embedded with partners and internal teams, working out what needs building.
Once something is live, you hand it over to the production engineering teams who will own it long-term.
If you've worked as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Integration Engineer or in a client-facing engineering role, this will be familiar.
Stack: Azure (AKS), Kafka, .NET/C#, Vue.js, Python.
What you'll actually do -
Work directly with partners and product teams to find the real problem, often before anyone has written requirementsPrototype quickly: partner API integrations, white-label apps, new deposit-product flows, onboarding toolingGet the prototypes that work into early production, with the robustness, observability and compliance posture live flows needOwn the handoff.
A prototype production can't take over counts as a failureWork within Consumer Duty, DORA, FCA SYSC and UK GDPR, and know which rules apply at prototype stage and which apply when hardeningShape where the platform goes next
You're the person if…
You write production-grade .NET/C# or TypeScript and can glue things together fast in PythonYou've taken something from zero to live in production, ideally in a regulated or financial settingYou're comfortable with distributed systems, APIs, cloud (Azure ideal; AWS/GCP fine), containers and CI/CDYou know when "good enough" is fine, and when it isn't because regulated money is involvedYou can be credible in front of partners without drifting into account managementYou ship
Bonus points: payments, BaaS or open banking, white-label platforms, DDD, Kafka, Kubernetes.
