Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

At Hiya, we're revolutionizing voice communication to make it more secure and productive. Our mission is to protect against spam and fraud, connect businesses with customers, and secure global telecommunications. Since 2015, when we introduced the first mobile caller ID and spam-blocking apps, we've been at the forefront of voice intelligence innovation. In 2016, we partnered with Samsung and AT&T to launch Hiya Protect, the first network-based spam-blocking solution. In 2019, we introduced Hiya Connect, a branded call SaaS platform that helps businesses reach more customers by phone. Today, our Voice Intelligence Platform powers over 500 million users worldwide. Leveraging adaptive AI and audio intelligence, it delivers smarter, safer, and more productive voice interactions across networks, apps, and devices. Our network and solution partners include British Telecom, EE, Virgin Media O2, Ericsson, Rogers, Bell Canada, MasMovil, Telenor, HP, KPMG, and many more. This is a hybrid technical and customer-facing role for someone who thrives at the intersection of engineering and execution. You'll act as the primary technical point of contact for a portfolio of Hiya's telecommunications partners across Europe, helping define, scope, deliver, and support complex integrations of Hiya's spam protection and voice intelligence services. You'll work closely with Business Development, Engineering, Product, and Delivery teams, while building trusted relationships with customer engineering and technical stakeholders. Success in this role depends equally on your ability to solve technical problems and your ability to guide customers through complex integration and operational challenges. This role spans the full customer lifecycle-from early technical discovery and solution design through implementation, launch, and ongoing production support. Unlike a traditional Solution Architect role, you'll be expected to contribute directly to technical execution, navigate production systems, investigate issues, and work closely with engineering teams to deliver solutions. You'll frequently work across customer teams, vendors, and internal stakeholders to troubleshoot complex issues, align technical approaches, and drive integrations forward-even when ownership boundaries or the path to resolution are not immediately obvious. If you've worked in a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Integration Engineer, Technical Account Engineer, or similarly customer-facing technical role before, you'll feel right at home. You won't just implement someone else's plan-you'll help shape the plan, challenge assumptions, and own the path to execution. We're excited about you because you're someone who can quickly learn complex technical domains, build trusted relationships with customers, and comfortably move between technical discussions, troubleshooting sessions, implementation work, and strategic conversations. You enjoy solving ambiguous problems, taking ownership from first conversation through production delivery, and using modern AI-assisted engineering workflows to work efficiently.
