Catio is reinventing how software is decided and governed, focusing on creating the technical backbone of their commercial motion. The Founding FDA will engage with customers to transform ambiguous objectives into validated architectures, driving meaningful outcomes in production systems.
Responsibilities:
- Lead architecture discovery with technical prospects and customers to map production realities — topology, dependencies, constraints, and modernization goals
- Translate ambiguous business objectives and constraints into structured engineering plans — defining success criteria, proof-of-value approaches, and decision-grade artifacts
- Design and execute repeatable proof-of-value engagements that validate Catio in real customer environments and establish a clear path to production
- Create decision-grade artifacts — architecture summaries, risk/trade-off analyses, modernization plans, and credible paths to production
- Work alongside customer teams to deliver real outcomes with Catio across the full lifecycle — embedding when needed to ensure production impact
- Partner with Account Executives to multi-thread complex deals and elevate engagement to executive sponsors (CTO, VPE, platform leadership)
- Build and standardize repeatable assets — reference architectures, POV frameworks, and implementation patterns that scale
- Feed high-fidelity insights from customer work back into product, deployment strategy, and architectural methodology
- Help shape how Catio is deployed, validated, and adopted across modern enterprise software environments
