Implementation Architect

About the role

Zof AI is seeking an Implementation Architect to design how our product actually lands in each customer environment.

• Experience implementing software in enterprise environments.
• Ability to run structured onboarding and rollout programs.
• Comfort presenting to both engineers and executives.
