Launched in the AI era, Lightworks is powered by people who have spent decades implementing net-new and highly iterative technologies at scale across banking, insurance, telecommunications, and public infrastructure. \nOur team brings deep engineering expertise and first-hand knowledge of how organizations operate, distribute change at scale, and manage risk. We specialize in control plane engineering, bolstering mission-critical programs, modernization, and scaling emergent technologies.\nTHE ROLE\nSenior Consultants at Lightworks deliver hands-on technical implementation across cloud engineering, data platforms, AI infrastructure, DevOps, and security architecture. You are expected to be embedded, client-facing, and technically accountable from day one. Day to day, you help some of the world’s most complex and highly regulated firms implement leading edge technologies at scale.\nYou will work inside client programs alongside teammates, Principal Consultants, senior client engineers, and Program Directors. You are expected to be able to operate independently, executing workstreams, managing other teammates and deliverables. You will receive mentorship and guidance from Principal Consultants, but your work and delivery should be self-standing and defensible in its own right.\nThis role spans two core service streams, both requiring experience within governed environments and the ability to turn executive priorities into enterprise-scale delivery.\nAgentic Control Plane (ACP) - The ACP is Lightworks’ flagship joint development program, built in partnership with several of the world’s largest and most regulated institutions. Seniors embedded in ACP work inside an industry-led engineering consortium alongside distinguished engineers and institutional leaders from across financial services, telecommunications, and insurance. You will be on the engineering team building the systems, working with frameworks such as LangFuse, LangGraph, Agent Gateway, and related orchestration and observability platforms to develop the control infrastructure that governs how AI is deployed at scale. The platform currently processes over 2 trillion tokens per month. You will be providing hands-on execution of the deliverables. \nCTO-as-a-Service - Supporting our principals to directly execute support of mission-critical and strategic programs across AI, cloud, data, and migrations. Where clients require embedded executive technology leadership, Lightworks seconds a principal directly into the client’s existing executive team. CTOaaS engagements are delivered exclusively by luminaries with proven experience at CTO and SVP levels, operating within regulated enterprises with $1B+ technology budgets. Seniors support our principals embedded alongside existing executive team members to operate effectively across complex vendor landscapes - including hyper-scaler partnerships and incumbent delivery organizations. \nWHAT YOU WILL DO\nDelivery\nSupport the delivery of complex technology, AI, modernization, and platform programs inside regulated enterprise environments, from architecture through delivery\nTake ownership of specific work packages and see them through to completion in conjunction with teammates and client teams.\nClient & Relationship Leadership\nBuild and maintain trusted relationships with client teams, engineering leads and developers.

Our team is trusted by CIOs, CTOs, risk leaders, and senior engineering teams inside some of the world’s most highly regulated institutions. The people we bring into Lightworks are expected to meet that standard- to think deeply, communicate clearly, and deliver alongside others who have built and led systems at serious scale.\nLightworks is helping shape how AI is deployed, governed, and scaled inside highly regulated institutions. Through enterprise AI, control plane engineering, modernization, and the Agentic Control Plane, we are working on the standards, systems, and delivery models that regulated institutions will rely on in the next era of technology. For someone operating at this level, Lightworks offers the chance to do defining work, with exceptional people, on problems that will matter well beyond a single engagement.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8990,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Management Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T16:47:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":84,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.845,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lightworks-senior-consultant","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lightworks-senior-consultant.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T01:54:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3044,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":456234},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=456234"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flightworks-senior-consultant"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flightworks-senior-consultant"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flightworks-senior-consultant"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lightworks-senior-consultant\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flightworks-senior-consultant"}]}
