WHAT YOU’LL DO
As an AI Architect, you will accelerate adoption of BrazeAI capabilities and services by working directly with customers at critical moments to identify and prioritize use cases and activate their first AI and agentic use cases.
Since 2025, Braze has launched a suite of Agentic AI products, including Decisioning Studio, Agent Console, Operator, and MCP capabilities. Every Braze customer is on their own AI transformation journey, with many marketers needing additional support to better understand the best application of these capabilities for their unique needs. The AI Architects will meet these customers where they are at to educate and advise so they get the best return on their AI investments with Braze. This includes running workshops, diagnostics, and accelerators to take marketers through ideation, prototyping, and launch of their first BrazeAI agents.
You will work collaboratively and build trusted relationships with technical and non-technical stakeholders, leading with curiosity and inspiring others to evolve their marketing strategies with AI. The role is consultative: you pair deep Braze core knowledge (Canvas, Catalogs, Content Blocks, Liquid, data ingestion) with understanding marketing strategies and effective applications of BrazeAI.
The role requires travel, up to 25% at peak times, and is based in San Francisco supporting our AMER region.
