Senior Consultant Architect – AI-Driven Modernization (North America) (Engineering Architecture Customer Ownership)

CAST Software is the global leader in Software Intelligence. We help enterprises understand improve and transform complex software systems.

Our platform provides deterministic system-level insight into large codebases whichcombined with AI models and agentsenables enterprises to move from experimentation to production-grade AI outcomes in brownfield environments.

About the Role

We are hiring strong engineers and architects who want to move beyond pure development into end-to-end ownership of real-world outcomes in the AI era.

You will work directly with large enterprise codebases (often millions of lines of code) using CAST and AI tools to:

• Understand system architecture and dependencies
• Enable AI-assisted modernization and transformation
• Ensure outputs are accurate complete and production-ready

This is a role for someone who wants to stay deeply technical while stepping into higher-impact customer-facing ownership.

What Youll Do

Work on Real Enterprise Systems

• Analyze large complex codebases (.NET Java SQL etc.)
• Reconstruct architecture dependencies and data flows using CAST Imaging
• Identify risks hidden dependencies and modernization blockers

Enable AI-Assisted Transformation

• Use tools such as VS Code GitHub Copilot Claude and CAST MCP to:
• Support code transformation (.NET Java legacy modern frameworks)
• Validate structural and functional accuracy of AI-generated outputs
• Ensure transformations preserve:
• Dependencies and integrations
• Architecture integrity
• Security and operational requirements

Bridge Deterministic Insight and AI

• Ground AI outputs in deterministic system context
• Identify gaps where AI-only approaches fall short (e.g. missing layers incorrect flows)
• Iterate toward deployable production-ready outcomes

Own Customer Outcomes

• Work directly with engineering and architecture teams
• Translate technical insights into clear action plans
• Drive progress from:
• Initial analysis transformation adoption

Expand into Customer Ownership

• Lead technical discussions with:
• Architects engineering leads and CTO organizations
• Contribute to executive conversations with clear structured insights
• Gradually take on broader ownership of customer success and outcomes

Who You Are

• 512 years in:
• Software engineering architecture or modernization
• Strong experience with:
• SQL distributed systems
• Enterprise application architectures
• Comfortable working with:
• Large complex poorly documented systems
• Exposure to or strong interest in:
• AI/GenAI for software development
• Code transformation and modernization
• Strong problem-solving mindset able to trace issues across systems
• Good communication skills with interest in becoming more customer-facing

What Makes This Role Different

• You work on brownfield systems where correctness matters
• You dont just generate code you validate and make it real
• You bridge AI capability with system reality
• You evolve from architect customer owner
• You are positioning your career at the center of the AI shift working on the exact problems that will define how AI is used in enterprise software not just experimenting at the edges
