Job Description

Vision

The year 2026 marks our "Ford Moment": the market is moving beyond conversational assistants into the era of Cognitive Industrialization. At Talan Suisse, our conviction is radical: code takes a back seat, context (data, business logic, architecture) and methods become key.

We are currently looking for a versatile and builder leader, capable of architecting complex multi-agent systems, guiding the AI transformation of an IT department, and training our engineers in context engineering.

Mission

Your role will revolve around three fundamental axes, while ensuring a strong anchor in operational delivery.

1. Client Delivery & Technical Excellence (50%)

   • Technical Leadership for Modernization & Greenfield Projects: You will technically lead Legacy Modernization projects enhanced by AI and native AI greenfield software developments as a technical director.
   • Design and Deploy Agentic Software Engineering Frameworks: You will design and deploy augmented development environments, heavily relying on agentic engineering CLI solutions (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Github CLI, OpenCode, etc.): proprietary skill libraries, memory management, use of the Model Context Protocol, multi-agent workflows.
   • You will extend these practices beyond code to DevOps and Product Management.
   • Industrialize under Sovereign Constraints: You will integrate these agents using a "Security-First" approach. You will comply with Swiss regulations (LPD, FINMA) by prioritizing sovereign or on-premise LLMs when necessary to ensure the protection of our clients' intellectual property. You will integrate FinOps challenges into your decisions.
   • Advise CIOs: You will advise CIOs & IT managers to catalyze their AI initiatives. You will design iterative roadmaps to demonstrate measurable ROIs.
   • Maintain active technological watch on AI and agentic developments to anticipate opportunities, adapt practices, and maintain a high level of expertise within the teams.

2. Go-to-Market (30%)

   • Deploy Offerings: You will champion our agile offerings in the market. You will personally execute short client missions: AI craft coaching to upskill client teams on-site, strategic flash consulting, and technical audits to demonstrate immediate value.
   • Leverage the Ecosystem: You will leverage the local innovation ecosystem (Trust Valley, EPFL) to reassure on digital sovereignty issues and catalyze initiatives.

3. Talan Enablers (20%)

   • Create a Training Engine: Your mission is not just to train, but to empower our ecosystem. You will upskill our experts (Dev, BA, PO, Architects) on practices and form an AI core team to create a true training engine, thus accelerating the deployment of our offerings.
   • Create Synergies within the Talan Group: You will act as a strategic bridge with our international expertise. You will foster cross-selling, offer convergence, and cross-training with other countries in the group to multiply our strike force.
   • Ensure Excellence and Adherence: You will document practices. With a strong Change Management capability, you will manage the legitimate anxiety of teams facing automation.

Objectives 3 to 6 Months

Within the first 3 to 6 months, we expect you to have:

• Deployed and secured a first significant mandate, for example, Legacy Modernization or Greenfield Agentic Dev with a key client.
• Packaged and completed the first sales of our "Agentic Flash" offerings.
• Developed our internal accelerators: Evolved our fundamental components, such as an internal Token Factory & our training programs & offerings, to ensure the industrialization & scalability of our services.

Qualifications

The Essentials:

• Field Expertise (5+ years): Coming from Software Engineering, you have held Tech Lead, Architect, or CTO roles. You are intimately familiar with production (DevSecOps, Cloud, API) and technical debt management.
• Agentic Software Engineering: Mastery of the latest agentic AI development practices. You have in-depth expertise in creating and deploying agentic Software Engineering frameworks based on CLI solutions (e.g., Claude Code, OpenCode), including structuring system prompts (via agents.md), implementing custom skills, orchestrating workflows, and managing context memory.
• AI Solution Architecture: Mastery of ReAct-type architectures, multi-agent orchestration (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for integration into complex IT systems (ERP, databases), and design of advanced information retrieval systems (RAG structured by knowledge graphs).
• Systems Thinking, Watch & Leadership: You possess a rare capacity for systemic thinking. You maintain a cutting-edge technological watch to anticipate the rapid changes in the ecosystem. As an educator and resilient individual, you excel in managing human change.
• Languages: Fluency in written and spoken French and English.

What will make the difference (Bonus):

• AI FinOps: You have demonstrated expertise in the financial optimization of artificial intelligence pipelines (granular management of token consumption, model arbitrage, infrastructure sizing).
• Sustainability & Ethics: Sensitivity to Green IT principles, governance, and algorithmic fairness.
• Industrialization & Governance: Expertise in Context Engineering and deployment of Token Factories to scale LLM usage, while ensuring strict governance (security, auditability, FinOps) adapted to the requirements of Swiss regulated environments.

Additional Information

• Playground: A rare opportunity to build a technological offering and profoundly impact the company & our clients.
• Trust & Impact: Zero micromanagement, and a Thought Leader position in the Romandie region.
• Compensation: Package aligned with value creation.
• Talan Ecosystem: Major presence in French-speaking Switzerland and an international group.
• Teams: Solid multidisciplinary teams you can rely on, whom you will guide through the transformation of professions.
• Focus: A role as a field expert and business impact evangelist without managerial or team management components.
