Job description

Forward Deployed AI Architect to help customers prove the value of VelocityAI SDLC through hands‑on architecture, AI‑enabled engineering, and measurable delivery acceleration.

This role is for senior architects and engineers who can modernize software delivery using AI.

The focus is not only on accelerating traditional Scrum‑based SDLC, but also on helping customers adopt intent‑driven, increasingly autonomous delivery models where AI tools, agents, automation, and human governance turn business or product intent into validated software outcomes.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on builder, deep architect, strong communicator, and first‑principles thinker who can engage both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.
