Who is Artefact?

Artefact is a next-generation strategy and data consulting firm dedicated to transforming organizations through data and AI. We combine the rigor of top-tier strategy consulting with deep expertise in data, digital, and analytics to help clients achieve tangible business impact.

With 1,800+ consultants, data scientists, and engineers across 23 countries, we work with global leaders such as Samsung, L’Oréal, Orange, and Sanofi. Our Romandie office (Geneva/Lausanne) is at the heart of Artefact’s growth, advising clients on their most pressing strategic challenges — from AI strategy and governance to digital transformation roadmaps and new business model design.

Main Responsibilities

As a Senior AI & Data Engineer, you will be the architect of the "AI Factory." Your role is less about training models from scratch and more about building the industrial-grade pipelines, infrastructure, and security frameworks required to run AI in a highly regulated environment.

• Production-Grade AI Infrastructure: Design and implement robust MLOps and LLMOps pipelines specifically for banking environments, focusing on data residency, air-gapping possibilities, and high availability.

• Data Engineering for AI: Build scalable ETL/ELT pipelines to feed RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, ensuring data lineage, quality, and strict access control (RBAC).

• DevOps & Automation: Own the CI/CD lifecycle for AI assets. Automate the deployment of model APIs, vector databases, and monitoring stacks using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

• Hybrid Cloud & On-Prem: Navigate complex hybrid-cloud architectures (Azure/AWS/GCP vs. Private Cloud) common in Swiss banking.

• Technical Advisory: Act as a bridge between IT Infrastructure, Risk/Compliance, and Business units to translate AI potential into stable, governed reality.

Candidate Profile

Engineer first, consultant second — with a builder’s mindset and a track record of shipping.

• Experience: 4+ years in Data Engineering, DevOps, or Software Engineering, with at least 2 years focused on deploying Machine Learning or AI systems at scale.

• The "DevOps" Stack: Expert knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes (K8s), and CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins). Experience with Terraform or Pulumi is a strong plus.

• The "Data" Stack: Advanced SQL and Python. Deep experience with data orchestration (Airflow, Dagster), streaming (Kafka), and modern data warehouses (Snowflake, Databricks).

• AI/LLM Implementation: Hands-on experience with the "plumbing" of AI: Vector databases (Milvus, Qdrant, or pgvector), model serving (BentoML, vLLM), and RAG orchestration (LangChain/LlamaIndex).

• Banking Domain: Solid understanding of financial data structures and the regulatory landscape (Model Risk Management, Audit trails, Data anonymization).

• Languages: English is mandatory. German (B2 or higher) is a significant advantage for the Zurich market and stakeholder management.

• Education: Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related quantitative field.

Nice to have

• Experience with responsible AI/governance frameworks, security reviews, and cost optimization.

• Domain experience in finance.

• Contributions to open-source, publications, or conference talks.

Why Join Us

• Strategy with a Data Edge: Operate at the intersection of boardroom strategy and cutting-edge AI engineering.

• Zurich Office Impact: High visibility from day one; help shape our Swiss footprint and work directly with senior leadership.

• Learning & Growth: Advanced training across strategy, AI/ML/LLM, and cloud; international missions and communities of practice.

• Culture of Doers: Innovation, action, collaboration. We move fast, deliver impact, and support each other’s growth.

Location: Zurich

If 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.

Who is Artefact?

Artefact is a next-generation strategy and data consulting firm. We sit at the intersection of top-tier strategy consulting and deep technical expertise. Our mission is to transform data into a competitive advantage for the world’s largest brands.

In our Romandie office, we don't just "process" data—we use it to solve high-stakes business puzzles. We are looking for a Senior Consultant who can bridge the gap between complex data ecosystems and executive-level decision-making.

The Mission statement: Translating Data into Strategy

As a Senior Analytics Consultant, you are the primary link between a major global client’s business goals and their technical infrastructure. This role isn't about building heavy infrastructure from scratch; it’s about Analytics Engineering—architecting the logic that turns raw information into business intelligence.

Core Responsibilities

• Strategic Stakeholder Management: Lead workshops with international business leads to define KPIs and translate vague business questions into precise technical requirements.

• Analytics Engineering (dbt & BigQuery): Design and maintain high-quality data models. You will own the "logic layer," ensuring that data is transformed, historized, and optimized for business use cases.

• Storytelling & Visualization: Architect the Looker (LookML) environment. You will ensure that dashboards aren't just "pretty," but are actionable tools that global markets rely on daily.

• Process Leadership: Act as the guardian of data quality. You will define documentation standards, conduct audits, and ensure the long-term scalability of the analytics solution.

• Proactive Advisory: As a Senior member, you are expected to challenge the status quo. You will identify opportunities where data can drive more value and propose roadmap enhancements to the client.

Candidate Profile: The "Consultant Mindset"

We are looking for a "Translator." You should be someone who enjoys the nuance of business operations just as much as a clean SQL query.

• The Mindset: You are a consultant first. You understand that tech is a means to an end. You are comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and can explain complex data flows in simple, commercial terms.

• Technical Proficiency: * Expert-level SQL and significant experience with dbt.

  • Hands-on experience with the Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery).

  • Professional mastery of Looker and LookML.

• Business Acumen: You have a solid grasp of how global corporations operate (supply chain, distribution, or commercial data). Experience with Anaplan logic is a major plus.

• Experience: 3+ years in data analytics, business intelligence, or consulting. You have a track record of owning projects from requirements gathering to final delivery.

• Languages: Fluency in English and French are mandatory.

Why Join Artefact Switzerland?

• Senior Impact: You will have high visibility within the firm and with the client. You aren't a cog in a machine; you are an architect of solutions.

• Modern Analytics Stack: We focus on the "best of breed" tools (GCP, dbt, Looker), allowing you to spend more time on insights and less time on technical "plumbing."

• Entrepreneurial Culture: We are a fast-growing team in Switzerland. You will help shape the culture and the way we deliver projects.

• Focus on Value: We prioritize tangible business impact over technical vanity projects.

This position is located in the Geneva area.

As a Staff Solutions Architect at Upbound, you own the technical success of our customers. You are the primary driver of customer outcomes, from initial implementation through production adoption, ensuring customers achieve real business value with Crossplane and the Upbound platform. This is a deeply technical, hands-on role embedded in the post-sales motion, working closely with customers to deliver working solutions, not just guidance.

In this role, you will Own: 

Customer Technical Outcomes

• Drive end-to-end technical success for a portfolio of enterprise customers, from post-sales handoff through production adoption.
• Own the implementation of known Upbound use cases — control plane architectures, Upbound/Crossplane configurations, GitOps integration, platform engineering patterns — and ensure customers reach their target state.
• Define and track technical milestones that map to customer business objectives and contract value.
• Act as the primary technical escalation point when customers face blockers, coordinating engineering and product resources to resolve them.

Implementation & Architecture

• Lead technical discovery to deeply understand customer environments, platform requirements, and target architecture.
• Design and deliver Crossplane-based control plane architectures tailored to customer infrastructure and organizational context.
• Build and maintain reference platforms and implementation accelerators that codify Upbound best practices and reduce time-to-value for common use cases.
• Contribute Statements of Work that accurately scope implementation engagements.
• Write code, fix bugs, and build scoped features within Upbound products, provider ecosystem, and Crossplane core where needed to unblock customers.

Technical Voice of the Customer

• Represent customer technical needs internally to influence product roadmap and prioritization.
• Partner with pre-sales SEs to ensure smooth, informed handoffs with full context on customer environment and expectations.
• Identify expansion opportunities as customer technical maturity grows and new Upbound capabilities become relevant.

You are a good fit if you have: 

• Hands-on Kubernetes expertise — operators, controllers, or add-ons; production deployment and management experience.
• Platform engineering or SRE background, with direct experience building or operating an Internal Developer Platform (IDP).
• Deep familiarity with cloud-native tooling: CNCF ecosystem, IaC (Terraform/Pulumi), GitOps (Flux/ArgoCD), CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience across at least two major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) at production scale.
• Strong programming skills; Go is strongly preferred.
• Proven track record of leading customers through complex technical implementations to successful, measurable outcomes.
• Excellent communication skills — comfortable presenting architecture and trade-offs to both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.
• Able to manage multiple customer engagements simultaneously in a fast-moving startup environment.

It is a plus if: 

• Crossplane power user — contributions to core or the provider ecosystem are very appreciated [for many reasons]
• Active Kubernetes community involvement: contributions, conference talks, technical writing, or open source maintainership.
• CKA or CKAD certification.
• Prior startup, familiarity with coding agents and distributed team experience.
