I’m currently in an internal solutions engineering role that checks most of your boxes. My day is spent working with business and software teams throughout the company; figuring out how to improve processes, bring new products to market, etc. I build out proofs of concept to show the software teams how to move forward on an idea and help the business teams visualize next steps. I also act as the engineering manager.

You have to be careful with that title. Most solutions engineering roles are client-facing. Client services isn’t really my cup of tea, but it may be for you.
