About the role

The moment an agent accesses customer data, executes a workflow, or makes changes on behalf of a user, authorization, governance, and trust become the real engineering challenge.
Arcade is the MCP runtime that gives agents the power to do both seamlessly.
We connect agents to the systems they act in, then give each one a permission slip and a paper trail - proof of what it's allowed to do, and a record of what it did.

Responsibilities

Act as the Technical Authority: Partner with AEs to lead technical discovery and evaluations with Head of AI, CTO, and Architect personas.
Build the "Art of the Possible": Design and build custom prototypes, PoCs, and reference architectures that show exactly how our infrastructure enables real-world AI actions.
Field-to-Product Loop: Act as the eyes and ears of the market, funneling deep technical feedback back to our Product and Engineering teams to shape the roadmap. We build our product like a private open-source project
Drive Technical Wins: Navigate complex technical hurdles in deal cycles ranging from $200K+ to seven figures.
Agentic tool-calling is the next frontier of integration, and you want to build it.
Evangelist Mindset: You're a willing presenter, excited to speak at conferences, and interested in creating technical content and blogs to help lead the agentic AI conversation.

Requirements

Hands-on Technical Chops: You are comfortable with APIs, SDKs, and coding in modern languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc.).
You can explain high-level concepts to an executive buyer without losing the technical plot.
Infrastructure Engineer: You've lived in Kubernetes, containers, service meshes, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), and CI/CD pipelines, and you know how enterprise software actually gets deployed.
You have deep fluency in OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, token lifecycles, delegated auth, and the modern identity stack - because agent authorization is one of the hardest problems we solve.
if a feature or fix is needed to unblock a deployment, you are empowered to make it happen.
