Forward Deployed AI Architect

Most enterprise AI initiatives stall between pilot and production. The demo works; the path to a system that runs a real business process, under real controls, with a real owner, is where they get stuck. The Forward Deployed AI Architect is the person we place inside the client to get them unstuck.You will be embedded with client business owners and engineering leaders, designing AI-native, Enterprise AI and Applied AI solutions — assistants, RAG systems, agents, agentic workflows, autonomous components — and taking them from pilot to production. You will carry the architect's responsibilities (framing the problem, fitting the business scope exactly, making trade-offs explicit, deciding what the system must not do) while sitting at the client's table, in their vocabulary, on their timeline.The role is modeled on the forward-deployed engineering pattern but operates at the architecture level. It rewards people who like ownership, who can work with ambiguity without a home team beside them, and who measure themselves by what reached production at the client, not by what was presented.Req# 1090267686
