Not as a center of excellence that publishes best practices from a distance, but as a team of practitioners partnering directly with business units to make AI the default starting point for work.</p> <p>Within that function, Applied AI Architects, G&A carry the horizontal mandate. They rotate across the company's corporate functions — Finance, People, Legal, Operations, IT and Business Systems, and beyond — embedding with one function at a time to find the highest-value workflows, rebuild them around AI alongside the people who own them, and leave each team able to keep going without us. A sibling team, Applied AI Architects, GTM, applies the same craft permanently attached to specific stages of the revenue lifecycle; this role is the broad-coverage, rotational counterpart.</p> <p>We are product-minded and outcome-driven. We treat the people we serve as users and their workflows as product surfaces, we build on shared infrastructure, and we tune what we ship based on adoption, output quality, and business impact. Braze employees are already building agents that compress multi-day workflows into minutes and tools that transform processes like research, reporting, and operational escalations. This team exists to accelerate that impact and systematically scale it across Braze.</p> <h2>WHAT YOU'LL DO</h2> <p>As an Applied AI Architect, G&A, you'll embed with a functional team or cross-functional cohort of approximately 15–25 people, learn their work deeply, and rebuild their highest-leverage workflows around AI alongside them. You'll operate across three modes: as the researcher who finds where the real friction and opportunity live, as the builder who designs and ships working agents on shared infrastructure, and as the coach who moves a team from its first contact with AI to self-sufficiency — and then rotates to the next function.</p> <p>Unlike your GTM counterparts, you are not permanently attached to one area. Your measure of success is durable business impact aligned to key financial and efficiency goals, adoption that persists after you rotate out, and cohorts that can build for themselves.</p> <ul> <li>Run enablement and discovery across your assigned functions. Lead enablement sessions and stakeholder research across the teams you cover (e.g., Finance, People, Legal, Operations) to map where intelligence gaps, manual effort, workflow friction, and handoff failures are most acute. Translate findings into a structured, prioritized backlog of problems to solve — problem statements, impact and feasibility scoring, dependencies, and stakeholders — and use it to decide where to dig in and rebuild process first.</li> <li>Build alongside the team. Create custom tools, agents, automations, and prompts tailored to the highest-value workflows, contributing directly to system architecture, retrieval logic, and output calibration on top of shared infrastructure. Ship working solutions on real deliverables, not theoretical demos.</li> <li>Coach toward self-sufficiency. Move people through a progressive maturity model: from awareness, to first win, to regular AI integration, to full workflow transformation, to self-sufficiency. Meet people where they are, and teach them to build and iterate on their own tools over time. The goal is independence, not dependence on you.</li> <li>Own quality during the engagement, then hand the durable pieces up. Monitor adoption, diagnose output failures, and tune continuously while you're embedded. As the engagement matures, transition the cohort's load-bearing agents into the shared platform layer so they run durably after you rotate out — you operate what you ship until it's productized, not before.</li> <li>Recognize patterns and scale what works. A tool built for one team should become reusable infrastructure for the next. Document every tool, playbook, and transformation pattern you create so the full team can compound each other's work.</li> <li>Build momentum. Share wins visibly within your cohort and with leadership to create pull demand and celebrate what's working. Track individual and cohort progress against the maturity model.</li> <li>Know when to rotate. An engagement completes when a defined share of the cohort can build and modify their own tools and its load-bearing agents have been productized into the platform layer. Then you move to the next function.</li> <li>Prepare cohorts for an agentic future<strong>.</strong> Not just prompt writing, but designing, building, and overseeing autonomous multi-agent workflows that handle real business processes.</li> </ul> <h2>WHO YOU ARE</h2> <p>We're looking for people who have already lived the transformation they'll be driving for others. You've used AI to fundamentally change how you work, and you can
