Responsibilities
- Own AI engagements end-to-end as the strategic lead, from discovery through executive handoff, partnered with an FDE who drives implementation
- Run structured discovery across engineering, product, and business stakeholders to map organizational context, AI readiness, and strategic goals across lines of business
- Design AI operating models that define how the organization adopts, governs, and scales AI. Not just within engineering, but across the business
- Define AI outcome maps that tie initiatives to measurable business results: efficiency gains, revenue impact, risk reduction, and time-to-value
- Lead AI maturity assessments and architect near-term and long-term adoption roadmaps aligned to Anthropic’s platform capabilities
- Facilitate executive workshops and enablement sessions for audiences ranging from engineering teams to C-suite leaders
- Deliver executive presentations to CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and line-of-business leaders covering current-state findings, ROI projections, and strategic recommendations
- Identify expansion opportunities across lines of business. AI strategy work naturally surfaces adjacent needs in departments beyond the initial engagement
- Shape follow-on scope throughout the engagement: by Week 1, you should have a working hypothesis for the next engagement; by the final on-site block, you present it
- Build executive relationships that position Caylent as a long-term AI strategy partner, not a one-time vendor
- Lead AI strategy engagements spanning multiple teams, platforms, and business functions
- Collaborate with FDEs to refine the architect-engineer delivery model and improve handoff patterns What We’re Looking For Required
- Own the methodology: you are shaping how AI-DLC enablement gets delivered. Every engagement you run improves the one after it
Requirements
- Caylent is a cloud native services company that helps organizations bring the best out of their people and technology using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- We provide a full-range of AWS services including workload migrations and modernization, cloud native application development, DevOps, data engineering, security and compliance, and everything in between.
- Caylent’s Anthropic Business Unit is a dedicated AI services practice built in partnership with Anthropic.
- The Agentic Architect is the strategic and architectural lead on AI engagements.
- Paired with a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who handles hands-on implementation, you own the engagement arc: shaping AI strategy, designing operating models, mapping AI outcomes to business value, and guiding executive stakeholders through adoption.
- You engage across lines of business, not just engineering, connecting AI initiatives to the outcomes that matter to each part of the organization.
- Every engagement is anchored to Anthropic’s platform and focused on real AI adoption outcomes.
- experience across varied stacks, including hyperscaler environments
- Demonstrated ability to engage across lines of business. You can talk to a VP of Engineering about CI/CD and a COO about operational efficiency in the same week •
- Experience designing or advising on AI operating models, technology adoption strategies, or digital transformation programs
- Hands-on familiarity with Claude Code or equivalent AI-assisted development tools — you don’t need to configure them daily, but you need to speak the language credibly and direct an FDE’s work
- Experience running structured stakeholder interviews, discovery sessions, and facilitated workshops with both technical and business audiences
- Experience delivering professional services engagements, including scope management, deliverable ownership, and client advisory
- Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and modern software development workflows Preferred •
- Experience mapping AI initiatives to business outcomes (revenue, efficiency, risk, time-to-value) with executive-level ROI framing
- Familiarity with PE portfolio company environments and board-level communication
- Background in solutions architecture, platform engineering, or enterprise technology strategy •
- Experience with LLM prompt engineering, agentic AI workflow design, or AI product development Direct
- experience with Claude Code’s extensibility model
- Familiarity with SDLC maturity frameworks or workforce analytics (DORA, DevEx) •
- Sat in the seat. You’ve led engineering teams or technology strategy inside a product company and understand the pressures executives navigate when adopting AI. Clients can tell.
- Thinks across the business. You don’t stop at engineering. You see how AI impacts operations, product, and go-to-market — and you can have those conversations with the people who own them.
- Earns trust at the executive level. You’re as comfortable presenting an AI operating model to a COO in the morning as reviewing prompt architecture with your FDE that afternoon.
- Proximity to the market: your clients are PE portcos, enterprise engineering orgs, and Anthropic-referred customers at the frontier of AI adoption
- AI-native by default: this team uses AI in how it works. Specification-First Engineering is how we move from prototype to production fast
- State of the art laptop and tools
- As part of our recruitment process, we may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools or automated systems to assist with the screening and evaluation of applications to help match candidate
- If an AI or automated tool is used during your application process, it will only be in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and your information will be handled in a secure and confidential manner.
