Job summary

Hidden Jobs is seeking a fractional Applied AI Architect to deploy an enterprise AI platform across complex customer environments. You will lead executive-level engagements and own technical rollout, working closely with product engineering to align field realities with the roadmap.

The role requires hands-on experience with Linux/Docker, cloud providers, and SSO/OAuth, plus a proven ability to transform technical capability into measurable business value for CIO/CTO audiences.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience across Linux, Docker, networking, major cloud providers, and enterprise SSO/OAuth.
• Hands-on experience building or deploying production systems powered by large language models or AI agents beyond weekend prototypes.
• Strong executive presence, with the poise and clarity to handle live pushback from senior enterprise stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to operate in zero-to-one, time-boxed engagements that prove a commercial business case and leave behind repeatable frameworks.
• A hunter instinct for creating momentum without a preset playbook and comfort taking small, calculated bets to earn buy-in from scratch.
• The instinct to mentor client teams, empower internal champions, and document scalable runbooks that outlive the engagement.

Responsibilities

• Lead executive discovery and scoping sessions with VP and C-level stakeholders, translating technical capability into business impact for CIO and CTO audiences.
• Own end-to-end technical rollout into customer VPCs, on-prem Docker hosts, and firewalled networks, resolving blockers around SSO, enterprise OAuth, and egress policies.
• Engineer data connectivity and context layers using Model Context Protocol and adjacent techniques so deployed AI agents are genuinely usable and trustworthy.
• Identify adjacent business functions and high-value AI use cases to expand footprint beyond initial beachhead teams and prove ROI.
• Represent the platform's agentic AI point of view in customer briefings and competitive situations, codifying field wins into repeatable go-to-market playbooks.
• Partner with core engineering, which is building on the Claude Agent SDK, to bring field realities, edge cases, and customer needs back into the product roadmap.
