Forward Deployed Solutions Engineer, New Graduate

Forward Deployed Solutions Engineer (Early Career)

• Location: Canada (Remote or Hybrid)
• Employment Type: Full-Time

Build technology that solves real business problems.

At Hiveway, we believe software should make work simpler—not more complicated.

We build payment and revenue automation solutions that help organizations modernize how they collect payments, connect business systems, and eliminate manual processes.

We're looking for curious, ambitious engineers at the beginning of their careers who want more than a traditional software development role.

If you're excited by solving real customer problems, building production software, and learning directly from experienced engineers while working with enterprise customers, we'd love to meet you.

What is a Forward Deployed Solutions Engineer?

A Forward Deployed Solutions Engineer (FDSE) combines software engineering, solution architecture, and customer problem-solving into one role.

Instead of working only from a product backlog, you'll work alongside customers to understand how their business operates, identify technical challenges, and help build solutions that create measurable business impact.

You'll learn how software, payments, APIs, data, finance, and business operations come together to solve real-world problems.

No two projects are exactly the same—which means you'll constantly learn, grow, and be challenged.

Working alongside experienced engineers and mentors, you'll help:

Build production software and customer solutions

Design and develop API integrations

Connect payment, CRM, ERP, and accounting systems

Automate manual business processes

Design data workflows and reconciliation logic
