• Design, build and ship customer-facing solutions, including AI agents, skills, routines, workflows and applications, on top of Datarails, Claude and the customer's connected systems.
• Define how the solutions you build are tested and evaluated, so the team knows they work before a customer relies on them.
• Take ownership of projects from initial discovery and recommendation through development and delivery.
• Work directly with customers throughout the engagement, translating business requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Engage customers in change management, helping usher their teams into a more AI-native way of working.
• Build prototypes and products that address immediate customer needs while identifying opportunities for broader reuse.
