Jobbeschreibung

We deploy production AI systems in various industries: investment, consulting, tech, industrials, etc.. You'd build and ship those systems hands‑on, from architecture to delivery, across a range of client projects. As a client-facing engineer and core member of the consulting team, you'd also participate in developing client relationships, designing technical solutions and prepare/present client deliverables.

We are looking for a versatile and generalist, technical profile, that can support the multi-directional growth of Voila AI and extend its spirit and culture of technical excellence and client value. Voila AI's forward deployed engineers must be excited by both the technical work of solutions design and implementation as well as the higher‑level business/people/integration work of the consultant.

Voila AI is hiring at various levels of seniority, please let us know if you are interested in a full‑time position or looking for an internship/fixed term contract.

What you’ll do

• Design and build agentic systems to solve hard, strategic problems: LLM agents with structured outputs, e.g. grounded in client knowledge bases (RAG), with the deterministic orchestration around them.
• Design and deliver advanced human‑interfacing AI agents (computational workflow design, prompt engineering, tool design, human onboarding, etc.)
• Engineer the supporting stack: APIs, data models, integrations, audit and access.
• Stand up evaluation harnesses (test sets, automated scoring, model comparison) and drive quality on measured results.
• Work closely with client teams, and hand over cleanly.
• Build high quality material for technical client presentations.
• Coach or train client teams across many industries and job functions on adopting and owning AI solutions themselves

What you bring

• A BSc or MSc degree in a relevant technical field (Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, Communication Systems, etc.) preferably from a known Swiss university or Engineering school.
• You are a technical, but versatile profile. You can work on software‑intensive projects, building complex solutions but also participate in less technical and more people‑driven and integration work with existing solutions.
• The motivation and interest to work in a growing consultancy with high agency on your work as well as your career. A strong sense of detail, technical excellence and client focus. An ability and satisfaction to learn new things constantly.
• Strong software engineering; comfortable owning a system end to end. Experience with Python, C#, C++ or Web development frameworks.
• Fluency with off‑the-shelf GenAI systems, agentic design patterns, and prompt engineering.
• Practical RAG and LLM application experience: grounding, structured outputs, evaluation.
• Solid engineering discipline and experience: version control, CI/CD, testing, and clean, maintainable code.
• Clear communicator who works directly with non‑technical stakeholders. Consulting experience appreciated.
• The ability to work in a growing, developing environment, focused on delivering premium quality services and outputs to clients.
• Fluency with AI‑assisted software engineering systems (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and AI assisted knowledge work environments (ChatGPT Work, Claude Cowork, Dust, etc.)
• Authorization to work in Switzerland.
• A fluent command of written and spoken English

Nice to have

• Experience in regulated / professional‑services domains.
• A fluent command of written and spoken German or French
• Experience building and deploying in Cloud Environments, including Azure (AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Containers, etc.).
