What do Solutions engineers in New York work on?

A solutions engineer bridges technical depth and client-facing engagement, typically working alongside sales or go-to-market teams to demonstrate how a product solves a prospect's problem, run proof-of-concept integrations, and support customers through technical onboarding. In New York City, where the securities industry is heavily concentrated and computer-related occupations are prominent across non-finance employers as well, solutions engineers often find themselves working with sophisticated enterprise buyers who expect detailed, hands-on technical engagement. The city's dense cluster of financial services, media and technology firms โ€” including large technology companies with significant Manhattan presences โ€” creates demand for engineers who can move fluently between software architecture conversations and business outcomes.

Skills and experience employers ask for

Evaluation and AWS are the most commonly mentioned skills across the listed descriptions, appearing in most of them. Agents and LLMs appear in more than half, pointing toward a strong emphasis on applied AI and large language model deployments. RAG architecture appears in about a third. Python and TypeScript appear in roughly a quarter of descriptions, alongside APIs, suggesting that light hands-on coding and integration work are part of the role rather than pure pre-sales demonstration.

Solutions Engineer roles that state a salary

The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels โ€” not an average and not a market rate.

New York office, hybrid or remote?

On-site work is the dominant arrangement among the roles on the board that state a location preference, accounting for about two thirds of those. The remaining third are hybrid. No roles among those stating a preference are listed as fully remote, making this a notably office-oriented set of openings by the standards of technical roles elsewhere.

Make your application specific to the work

  1. Read the role carefully Solutions engineer postings in this city tend to sit at lead or senior level, so review what each description specifies about scope โ€” whether it leans toward pre-sales, post-sales, or a combined technical account role โ€” before applying.
  2. Prepare your AI and cloud examples Evaluation, AWS, agents and LLMs appear across most descriptions, so be ready to walk through concrete examples of how you have worked with these technologies alongside customers or prospects.
  3. Show integration and coding fluency Python, TypeScript and APIs each appear in a meaningful share of descriptions; even if you are not a full-time engineer, being able to demonstrate working integration code or a live API walkthrough will strengthen your application.
  4. Expect an on-site or hybrid process Most of the roles listed here expect in-office presence some or all of the time, so be prepared for in-person stages including live technical demonstrations, which are common in solutions engineering hiring.

Questions about Solutions Engineer jobs in New York

The two titles are often used interchangeably. Both roles involve working with customers or prospects on the technical dimensions of a product, supporting sales cycles and guiding implementation. Some organisations use 'solutions engineer' to emphasise post-sale or broader architecture work, while 'sales engineer' tends to emphasise the pre-sale phase, but practice varies widely by employer.

Based on what is mentioned in the listed descriptions, practical coding ability โ€” particularly in Python and TypeScript โ€” is noted in a meaningful portion of roles, alongside API integration. The emphasis appears to be on applied, integration-level fluency rather than core software engineering, though the balance varies by employer.

Among the roles listed here that state a work mode, the clear majority are on-site and the remainder are hybrid. None of the roles stating a preference are listed as fully remote.

New York City has a heavy concentration of securities and financial services firms as well as a broad base of technology employers, including large technology companies with significant Manhattan offices. Both sectors are active users of enterprise software and AI tooling, which typically drives solutions engineering demand.

Since mid-2023, New York City employers that use automated tools in hiring decisions are required to have those tools independently audited for bias, publish the audit results, and notify candidates that such tools are being used. If a company uses an automated screening or matching tool in its process, it should disclose this to you.
