Description

For our end client from the Swiss transport and infrastructure sector, we are looking for TWO to FOUR Platform Architects for the development of AI platforms and shared services as follows:

Starting Situation & Mandate:

The end client is developing an overarching AI architecture across four capability areas: AI Control, AI Platform, AI Transparency, and AI Governance. The project is supported by a Managed Capacity Team: In Phase 1, an Enterprise Platform Architect will define the scope, target image, and workstreams; from February 2027, two to four Platform Architects will be onboarded in stages.

Important for selection: Platform building experience is sought, not just conceptual work – at least two references for AI platforms or shared services such as AI Gateway, Model Hub, Agent Runtime, Vector Stores, or Knowledge Management.
