AI Solutions Architect

Why this role exists

The AI Solutions Architect is essential for translating a signed contract into a renewed and expanded one. They embed with the customer, build the first high-value agentic workflows, and own technical success from kickoff through go-live and expansion.

What You'll Own

• Land the deployment: Stand up the first production agent workflows on NinjaTech in weeks, not quarters.
• Build custom, tailored solutions: Wire our platform into the customer's real systems and build bespoke automations, prompts, tools, and guardrails.
• Be the technical face of NinjaTech: Run working sessions with everyone from frontline operators to CTOs and CISOs.
• Drive adoption and expansion: Instrument usage, hunt for the next high-value workflow, and turn a beachhead into an org-wide rollout.

What We Require

• Engineering background: You're a genuine builder, proficient in Python and at least one of TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, or Go; comfortable across data plumbing, APIs, and a bit of front-end.
• Genuine curiosity about agentic AI and LLM systems: prompt/tool design, evals, orchestration, guardrails, and failure modes.
• Data fluency: You can wrangle messy, large-scale, real-world data and reason about storage, pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
• Executive presence and operator empathy: You can hold a credible technical conversation with a CTO and sit with a frontline user to understand their actual workflow.
• Bias to ship: You move with speed and precision, iterate with users, and are energized by evolving objectives.
• Willingness to travel: Up to ~25% travel to customer sites, and to be onsite in the Bay Area with the core team.

What We Value (nice-to-haves)

• Experience integrating into regulated or security-sensitive enterprise environments.
• Prior forward-deployed / solutions-engineering / delivery experience.
• A track record of turning a first deployment into a much larger footprint.

Compensation & Logistics

• Base range $80K to $120K depending on level and experience, plus meaningful equity and a delivery/expansion-linked bonus.
• Onsite in the Bay Area with the core team; ~25% travel to customer sites.
• Full benefits (medical / dental / vision, etc.).
