Reporting into our Customer Engineering organization, you will own the relationship from signed deal to expanded, in-production, governed value: the agent architecture, the integration blueprint, the adoption roadmap, and the evidence that it's working.\nGetting an AI agent live is no longer the hard part. The hard part is what comes after the pilot: expanding from one use case to twenty, holding quality as policies and systems change underneath you, proving containment and CSAT to a CIO, and earning the right to the next set of journeys. On our largest accounts, that work needs a senior named technical owner. That owner is the Senior Customer Architect.\nYou are deeply credible in a design review - able to read an execution trace, reason about why an agent chose the wrong tool, and design guardrails and evaluation strategy. You set the architecture and own quality sign-off; our Agentic Deployment team executes. Beyond your own portfolio, you raise the bar for the whole function: you mentor Customer Architects, lead playbook development for a vertical, and represent the function in the accounts where the stakes are highest. The operating principle: make deployments prescriptive and repeatable, not bespoke.\nResponsibilities:\nAccount Architecture:\nDesign the end-to-end agent architecture across the customer's journeys and channels - chat, email, voice, SMS, in-app - including agent decomposition, escalation and handoff design, and how autonomous and human-in-the-loop modes divide the work.\nDesign the integration blueprint against the customer's real stack: CRM and ticketing (Salesforce, Zendesk, ServiceNow), telephony and contact center, identity, loyalty and reservations systems, order and payments, and data platform.\nSet the guardrail, governance, and observability architecture: define what the agent must never do, how that is enforced, how it is audited, and what the customer's compliance and risk teams see.\nSet the architecture and governance standard the Agentic Deployment team executes against, and own quality sign-off before anything reaches production.\nTechnical Success Planning:\nAuthor and maintain a Technical Success Plan per account: current-state architecture, target-state architecture, the sequenced roadmap between them, and the metrics defining success at each stage.\nDefine the measurement model with the customer up front - containment, resolution rate, CSAT/DSAT, deflection economics, handle time, escalation quality, cost per resolution - and hold both sides to it.\nRun a recurring technical business review with customer leadership: what shipped, what it moved, what's next, and what's at risk.\nAdoption & Technical Expansion:\nOwn the technical expansion path for land-and-expand: chat to email to voice to employee-facing, plus new intents, lines of business, regions, and languages.\nIdentify expansion opportunities from technical reality rather than wishful mapping, size the work honestly, and hand qualified opportunity to the account team.\nAnticipate what breaks at the next order of magnitude - peak-event volume, new policy regimes, upstream system migrations - and get ahead of it in the roadmap.\nTrusted Technical Advisor:\nHold the primary technical relationship with senior stakeholders: VP/Head of Customer Experience, Director of Contact Center Technology, enterprise architects, security and compliance leadership, and often the CIO.\nAdvise on the parts of the program Netomi doesn't own - knowledge base quality, policy clarity, agent operating model, org readiness - because agent performance depends on all of it.\nDeliver hard technical news early and clearly. Credibility is built on accurate expectation-setting, not optimism.\nPartner Co-Delivery:\nSet the architecture and quality standard that SI delivery partners build against.\nCertify and enable partner delivery teams; scale through them rather than absorbing all delivery work.\nMaintain quality sign-off regardless of who executes.\nPrescriptive Playbooks:\nContribute to vertical deployment blueprints - airline, insurance, gaming, media - covering reference architecture, guardrail configuration, evaluation packs, and expansion paths.\nTurn what works in one account into prescriptive onboarding and day-2 playbooks the whole organization deploys from.\nProduct Collaboration:\nTranslate field observation into specific, evidenced, pattern-based product input - quantified, not anecdotal.\nBe a named internal voice on enterprise requirements: security posture, deployment topology, model flexibility, and auditability.\nEscalation & Incident Response:\nLead the technical side of escalations: quality regressions, integration failures, and incidents during peak events.\nDrive root-cause analysis with Engineering and communicate it to the customer with precision and appropriate accountability.\nPractice Leadership:\nMentor Customer Architects on architecture decisions, account strategy, and stakeholder management; review their Technical Success Plans and quality sign-offs.\nLead playbook and reference architecture development for a core vertical, and drive its adoption across the account portfolio.\nTake the first-of-kind deployments - new channels, new verticals, new deployment topologies - and turn what you learn into standards others execute against.\nRequirements:\n10+ years in customer-facing technical roles - solutions architecture, technical account management, forward-deployed engineering, implementation architecture, or technical consulting - including sustained ownership of post-sales technical outcomes.\nDemonstrated ownership of multiple concurrent enterprise accounts at Fortune 500 scale, including programs spanning brands, regions, or lines of business, with senior technical stakeholders and real consequences to failure.\nGenuine technical depth: reads code and API documentation, reasons about distributed systems and integration architecture, debugs a failing data flow, and holds their own with a customer's principal engineer.\nWorking understanding of LLM-based systems - prompting, tool use, retrieval, evaluation, guardrails, failure modes - and judgment about where they are and aren't the right answer.\nConsultative and prescriptive: builds playbooks, not one-offs.\nMoves between a CIO conversation about business outcomes and an engineering conversation about trace-level agent behavior without losing either audience.\nComfort with ambiguity and a bias toward writing things down.\nTrack record mentoring or leading other architects or senior technical ICs, formally or informally, and raising the standard of the work around them.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience co-delivering through SI partners - enabling delivery teams rather than doing all the work directly.\nCX, contact center, or conversational AI background - CCaaS, CRM/ticketing ecosystems, IVR and voice, workforce management.\nDepth in a core vertical: airlines and travel, media and streaming, gaming and sports betting, financial services and insurance, or retail.\nFamiliarity with enterprise security and compliance - SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI, ISO 27001 - without escalating to Legal for every question.\nExperience designing evaluation frameworks or quality programs for non-deterministic systems.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7462,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Conversational AI","AI Agents","Customer Support & Help Desk Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-07T01:51:26Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":252500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":54,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":75,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/netomi-senior-customer-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/netomi-senior-customer-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T16:40:11Z","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":25624,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2294},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2294"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnetomi-senior-customer-architect"},{"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%2Fnetomi-senior-customer-architect"},{"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%2Fnetomi-senior-customer-architect"},{"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/netomi-senior-customer-architect\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnetomi-senior-customer-architect"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":492257}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"netomi.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":492257},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
