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, which—combined with AI models and agents—enables 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 You’ll 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

• 5–12+ years in:
• Software engineering, architecture, or modernization
• Strong experience with:
• Java, .NET, 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 don’t 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
