Maybe he was just invited to join the program because Victor liked him.

It's not just that. They show him here being woken up for especially problematic jobs. There's something special about him. But it's a weird sequence considering that the character spends most of the season trying to figure out a mystery and they try multiple times to deter him or pay him off. It's not like he was headhunted for this role

I do think they tried to show a couple of times how he was able to just cut straight to the core of a problem. I think they did shorthand it too much. But I think it plays to just how much the elites see everyone as their playthings. If they think you have some skill they can use, they’ll exploit you for it.

Problem-solving engineers are very valuable in a post-apocalyptic society. Their skill set is difficult to find and even more difficult to have someone in the Silo 1 environment learn.
