You’ll combine hands‑on engineering with client advisory, guiding multi-disciplinary teams from opportunity framing to production deployment. /pulliOwn solution architecture delivery: Define end-to-end architectures (data, ML/LLM, APIs, security), make build/buy decisions, and drive projects from PoC to production with reliability, observability, and cost in mind. /liliLead complex PoCs pilots: Scope, prototype, and validate AI/ML use cases (incl. LLMs/GenAI, RAG, fine-tuning, evaluation) and convert successful pilots into scalable products. /liliAdvanced programming modeling: Build, adapt, and evaluate ML/DL/LLM models using Python (PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace, LangChain/LlamaIndex), including prompt engineering, fine-tuning/LoRA, vector search, and safety/guardrails. /liliCloud MLOps/LLMOps: Design and operate solutions on Azure, GCP, or AWS (CI/CD, containers, model serving, feature stores, vector DBs, monitoring, eval pipelines). /liliClient advisory stakeholder management: Translate business goals into technical roadmaps, present to senior stakeholders, manage risks and trade-offs, and ensure measurable business impact. /liliQuality, security governance: Enforce best practices on data privacy, model risk management, responsible AI, and documentation. /liliTeam leadership mentoring: Coach engineers/consultants, perform code and design reviews, and help shape delivery standards and reusable accelerators. /liliPre-sales thought leadership: Support proposals, estimates, and statements of work; contribute to assets, talks, and publications that advance Artefact’s AI offering. /li /ulh3Candidate Profile /h3pEngineer first, consultant second — with a builder’s mindset and a track record of shipping. /pulliExperience: 5–8+ years in data/ML/AI engineering or adjacent roles, including end-to-end delivery of production AI systems (not just prototypes). /liliProgramming: Expert Python; solid software engineering (testing, packaging, CI/CD). SQL required; Java/Scala/TypeScript a plus. /liliAI/ML: Hands‑on with ML/DL and LLMs (prompting, fine‑tuning/LoRA, embeddings/RAG, evaluation observability, guardrails). /liliCloud: Deep experience on at least one major cloud (Azure, GCP, or AWS) deploying secure, scalable services. /liliMLOps/LLMOps: Containers (Docker/Kubernetes), Git, pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions/Cloud‑native), model serving (FastAPI/TorchServe/Triton), experiment tracking, model registry, vector DBs (FAISS, Pinecone, pgvector, OpenSearch). /liliArchitecture data: Designing data/ML platforms, APIs, microservices; familiarity with data pipelines and streaming is valued. /liliConsulting skills: Requirements gathering, storytelling, senior stakeholder management, and clear documentation. /liliLanguages: Fluency in French and English (written spoken). /liliWork eligibility: You must be eligible to work in Switzerland. /li /ulh3Nice to have /h3ulliExperience with responsible AI/governance frameworks, security reviews, and cost optimization. /liliDomain experience in one or more industries (e.g., retail, pharma, manufacturing, finance). /liliContributions to open‑source, publications, or conference talks. /li /ulh3Why Join Us /h3ulliStrategy with a Data Edge: Operate at the intersection of boardroom strategy and cutting‑edge AI engineering. /liliRomandie Office Impact: High visibility from day one; help shape our Swiss footprint and work directly with senior leadership. /liliLearning Growth: Advanced training across strategy, AI/ML/LLM, and cloud; international missions and communities of practice. /liliCulture of Doers: Innovation, action, collaboration. We move fast, deliver impact, and support each other’s growth. /li /ulh3Location /h3pLausanne / Geneva (Romandie) /ppIf you don’t meet 100% of the criteria, we still want to hear from you. Passion, curiosity, and impact orientation matter — tell us about yours. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
