Applied AI Architect

Braze Braze · Enterprise · New York, NY · Growth

Braze is building an Applied AI function for its GTM organization to pioneer AI-enabled GTM execution at a scaled global SaaS company. The team encodes practitioner judgment into systems, creates feedback loops, and builds AI-powered systems to make GTM teams more effective. This role involves conducting stakeholder research, building and refining AI agents, staying embedded in operating rhythms, owning system reliability and quality, contributing to a shared knowledge hub, scaling successful systems, and partnering with various teams. The ideal candidate is a builder with GTM judgment, experienced in creating AI agents and tools that impact real work, and comfortable operating autonomously as a senior individual contributor.

What you'd actually do

  1. Conduct stakeholder research across the GTM motion, from pre-sales through post-sales, to map where intelligence gaps, workflow friction, and handoff failures are most acute. Translate findings into a structured and prioritized backlog of problems to solve, including problem statements, impact, and feasibility scoring, dependencies, and stakeholders.
  2. Build and refine AI agents tailored to your area of the revenue lifecycle, contributing directly to system architecture, retrieval logic, and output calibration on top of shared infrastructure. Ship working solutions against real workflows
  3. Stay embedded in regional operating rhythms: pipeline reviews, deal cycles, QBRs, renewal planning, and account strategy sessions. The system gets better because the individuals building it never leave the commercial and customer motion. Field proximity is the operating discipline.
  4. Own the reliability and quality of the systems you manage. Monitor adoption, diagnose output failures, and tune/iterate continuously. You are not handing off to an ops team. You operate what you ship.
  5. Contribute to the shared knowledge hub by validating field signals, structuring deals and customer patterns, and ensuring that intelligence captured across the revenue lifecycle flows back in a form that produces better agent outputs.
