AI Native Builder/Architect

About the role

WHO WE ARE

Atlan is building the context layer for enterprise AI. Enterprises are pouring money into AI and most of it dies in production because the AI does not understand the business context around the data. That is the problem Atlan solves.

Gartner has named context the defining issue in enterprise AI, and calls context graphs the essential infrastructure for AI agents, naming Atlan one of three vendors already building it. We are also the only vendor named a Leader across all four major Gartner and Forrester evaluations for data catalogs, data governance and metadata management, the foundation the context layer runs on.

Come build the infrastructure that AI runs on.

WHO WE ARE

Gartner calls context the defining issue in enterprise AI, and context graphs the essential infrastructure for AI agents. It names Atlan as one of three vendors already building one. We're also the only vendor named a Leader in all four major Gartner and Forrester evaluations for data catalogs, data governance and metadata management, the layer our context graph is built on.

Come build the infrastructure AI runs on.

THE TEAM

You'll join the team building Atlan's context layer, the platforms that make it possible and the vertical agents that run on it. The platform is what any agent needs before an enterprise will trust it: a registry of which agents and skills exist, traces and evals on every run, and governance over cost and access.

Vertical agents each do one specific job, for customers and for Atlan's own teams. Inside Atlan they already run real work. There's an agent our CSMs trust, three GTM agents that replace 3,000 calls made by hand, an agent that watches every page on atlan.com http://atlan.com, and one that monitors the other agents. We write up what we learn in the open at Becoming Frontier https://atlan.com/frontier/.

The team works in small "two-slice" units. You own one initiative, usually with one or two people alongside you, and you decide how it gets built.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

You'll take problems nobody has fully defined yet and ship working systems, fast. Depending on where you're matched, you may:

- Own a 0→1 initiative from problem to production. Frame it, write the spec when there isn't one, pick the architecture and build it.

- Build agents with the people who own the outcome, inside Atlan or at a customer. Scope the workflow with them, demo early and put the agent where the work already happens, like an approval in Slack or a redline in a legal team's Word doc.

- Earn autonomy with evidence. Start with shadow runs, study the misses and widen what the agent can do as results support it.

- Design for failure. Decide what happens when a tool is down, context is thin or the agent isn't sure, and how a person takes over.

- Make the engineering calls on what stays deterministic code and what needs a model, build vs. reuse, model choice, cost and reliability. Explain the trade-offs clearly.
