• Lead architectural discussions and solution workshops with clients, centered on AI use cases (based on experience) 
• Translate business needs into compelling technical narratives and live AI demonstrations 
• Support pre-sales activities, including AI solutioning and demo delivery for pitches 
• Produce high-quality technical documentation and solution designs 
• Design and implement scalable, secure AI solutions and supporting cloud architecture on Google Cloud
• Lead or support AI/Cloud transformation initiatives, including agent platform adoption
• Collaborate with development teams on AI/Cloud engineering and release processes
• Stay updated on Google AI and Cloud innovations and share knowledge with internal teams
• Contribute to the growth of the internal Google Cloud/AI community at Valtech

• An active Google Cloud certification (Associate or Professional level), or actively working toward one 
• Ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions 
• Genuine curiosity about AI/agentic architectures and comfort learning fast in an evolving space 
• Comfortable presenting technical concepts to both technical and business audiences 
• Understanding of cloud security best practices 
• Excellent written and spoken communication skills in French and English 
• Collaborative team player and knowledge sharing skills 

Nice to have qualifications
