Every engagement is anchored to Anthropic’s platform and focused on real AI adoption outcomes.Your clients span PE portfolio companies, growth-stage software businesses, and enterprise organizations. You are the strategic face of Caylent from kickoff through handoff.What You’ll DoStrategy and Architecture- 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- Direct FDE work on Claude Code tooling, prompt architecture, and workflow automation. You set the technical direction, the FDE executesClient Relationship and Business Development- 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- Attend on-site for the final Catalyst block: readout, workshop, and executive presentationInternal Contribution- Contribute reusable strategy frameworks, delivery artifacts, and methodology improvements back into the practice at engagement close- Lead AI strategy engagements spanning multiple teams, platforms, and business functions- Collaborate with FDEs to refine the architect-engineer delivery model and improve handoff patternsWhat We’re Looking ForRequired- 8+ years of software development or technical architecture experience across varied stacks, including hyperscaler environments- 3+ years in engineering leadership, technical consulting, solutions architecture, or a combination- 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- Certified Claude Architect- Experience running structured stakeholder interviews, discovery sessions, and facilitated workshops with both technical and business audiences- Strong executive communication: writing and presenting to CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and line-of-business leaders- 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 workflowsPreferred- 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)- Experience designing and facilitating workshops for mixed audiences — engineers, product managers, and business stakeholdersWho Thrives HereThe Agentic Architects who do well here are a specific profile:- 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.- Knows when to slow down. You surface risks before committing to an approach. When the client’s definition of the work is wrong, you say so.- Closes the next engagement. The final week of a Catalyst is a conversion window. You treat it that way — and the cross-LOB relationships you’ve built give you multiple paths to expand.- Makes the methodology better. Every engagement teaches you something. You feed it back into the practice rather than keeping it in your head.- 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.This is a poor fit if you want someone else to handle the sales motion or prefer execution-only roles. You are accountable for both strategic delivery quality and account expansion.Why This Team- Ground floor of something real: this BU is early, well-resourced, and anchored to Anthropic. You're writing the playbook, not inheriting one- Own the methodology: you are shaping how AI-DLC enablement gets delivered. Every engagement you run improves the one after it- Proximity to the market: your clients are PE portcos, enterprise engineering orgs, and Anthropic-referred customers at the frontier of AI adoption- Revenue upside: Agentic Architects who drive account expansion earn on revenue generated, not just delivery margin- AI-native by default: this team uses AI in how it works.
