The Mission
We are seeking an exceptional Enterprise Architect to join our growing Cloud Native Applications team and lead delivery on Caylent's largest and most strategically important client engagements. The right candidate has deep expertise in designing and building applications, creating AI-first software solutions, and is energized by the scale, complexity, and stakes that come with our biggest accounts..
Your mission will be to work alongside and lead Caylent’s Software Engineers, Architects, Sales, and Project Managers to deliver for our largest and most complex customers. You’ll be hands-on with the latest technologies, operate confidently amid the ambiguity and competing priorities that large enterprise environments bring, and serve as a steady, senior presence — both for your team and in front of client leadership — when the stakes are highest.
Your Assignment
- Lead software development project teams to deliver AI-first, production-ready solutions in environments with significant scale, technical complexity, and organizational complexity.
- Lead and own technical requirements gathering, technical decision making, backlog generation and refinement, and all architectural decisions - including where legacy systems, multiple integration points, or ambiguous requirements are in play.
- Lead discovery sessions with client stakeholders, including senior technical and business leadership to gather customer requirements and formulate them into a workable backlog.
- Build architecture diagrams to document, communicate, and defend your solution design to both engineering teams and client leadership.
- Apply your expertise in AI-first software development as a hands-on, contributing member of the technical team.
- Create, automate, and refine multiple levels of AI-driven testing.
