Architecting the AI-Native Enterprise. Distyl partners with the most ambitious enterprises to design and operationalize their AI transformations. Backed by Khosla, Lightspeed and Peak XV.
About the role
Own the strategic technical relationship. Serve as the primary technical counterpart for strategic accounts, building trust with CIO/CTO-level leaders, enterprise architects, and business executives. Help customers identify where AI can materially change an operation, pattern-match from prior deployments, and shape an ambitious but deliverable technical vision.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of relevant experience across engineering, enterprise architecture, forward-deployed engineering, solutions architecture, or similar roles, with substantial customer-facing responsibility
- Hands-on production delivery experience. You have designed, built, and shipped Enterprise-grade Agentic AI/ML systems and can reason credibly about implementation tradeoffs, reliability, integration, scale, security, and operating constraints
- Demonstrated ability to operate as a senior technical advisor to executives: you can build trust, develop a point of view, shape ambiguous problems, influence decisions, and handle high-stakes technical conversations without relying on a script
- Proven ownership of complex enterprise solution architecture and scope, including the ability to write technical SOW content and align customer teams, GTM, and delivery around what is actually buildable
- Ability to work effectively with FDE / Delivery / Product & Strategy teams — bringing them in at the right time, using their current implementation depth, and maintaining continuity
- Strong working knowledge of APIs, integrations, cloud and enterprise architecture, data flows, security considerations, and modern AI systems, coding fluency to prototype, inspect systems, and engage deeply with engineers
