What You'll Do
- Lead Executive Engagements: Command the room during discovery and scoping with VP and C-level stakeholders, translating technical capabilities into sharp business impact for CIO/CTO audiences.
- Deploy into Complex Environments: Own the end-to-end technical rollout into customer VPCs, on-prem Docker hosts, and firewalled networks. Resolve critical blockers like SSO, enterprise OAuth, and egress policies that typically derail pilots.
- Build the Context Layer: Move beyond surface-level demos by engineering data connectivity (via Model Context Protocol / MCP) and context layers, ensuring the AI agent is genuinely usable, reliable, and trustworthy.
- Drive Footprint Expansion: Identify adjacent business functions and high-value use cases, turning initial team beachheads into account expansion and undeniable ROI.
- Shape the GTM Narrative: Represent SnapLogic’s agentic AI point of view in briefings and competitive situations, codifying field wins into repeatable playbooks for the GTM team.
- Feed the Product Loop: Partner directly with our core engineering team building on the Claude Agent SDK—bringing field realities, edge cases, and customer needs straight back into the product roadmap.
What We’re Looking For
- Fractional & Independent Consulting Appetite: You excel in zero-to-one, time-bounded engagements where success is measured by rapid execution, proving a commercial business case, and leaving behind repeatable frameworks.
- Executive Commercial Presence: Exceptional poise, clarity, and the ability to confidently navigate live pushback from senior enterprise executives.
- Hunter Instinct in Ambiguity: You create momentum without a preset playbook, comfortable taking small, calculated bets to earn buy-in from scratch.
- Enterprise AI Judgment: You easily distinguish valuable business use cases from AI theater, bringing deep understanding of both technical realities and commercial tradeoffs.
- Deep Technical Range: 5+ years of hands-on experience across Linux, Docker, networking, major clouds, and enterprise SSO/OAuth—with enough depth to earn immediate credibility with a customer's senior engineers.
- Production-Minded LLM Experience: Hands-on experience building or deploying production systems powered by LLMs or AI agents beyond weekend prototypes.
- Mentorship Instinct: A drive to teach client teams, empower internal champions, and document scalable runbooks so adoption continues long after your engagement ends.
