The division is responsible for some of the Group’s key innovations while also supporting its day-to-day operations.\nBuild the practice. Develop our people. Bring AI expertise closer to every business line that needs it.\nYou will join Pictet as the first Chapter Lead of the Forward-Deployed Engineering (FDE) Chapter, a new unit created to embed hands-on AI and generative AI (GenAI) engineering expertise directly within business and product teams. You will shape how the Chapter operates: there is no existing playbook to inherit and no predecessor to follow.\nYou will report to the Head of Group Technology Strategy and Innovation and work closely with the AI Centre of Excellence (AI CoE), which develops the reusable AI platforms, agent blueprints and GenAI capabilities that support the Group. While AI CoE teams build capabilities for use across the Group, your Chapter will embed engineers within the business, one assignment at a time.\nYour role\n Building and leading the FDE Chapter Establish and develop the Forward-Deployed Engineering (FDE) Chapter, while defining common standards and ways of working across different engagement models. This will include setting expectations for assignment scoping, discovery, technical delivery, production readiness and escalation. Lead the onboarding, mentoring and professional development of FDEs, creating a consistent framework across all assignments.\nManaging FDE allocation and engagements Work with business-line leaders to identify and prioritise FDE engagements based on business needs, strategic relevance and available expertise. Define the scope and expected outcomes of each engagement, monitor progress and ensure that evolving requirements are managed appropriately. Determine when assignments have been completed and when FDE resources should be reassigned to new priorities.\nProviding technical and delivery leadership Remain closely involved in key FDE engagements and provide hands-on support when required. Apply your technical expertise to review architectural decisions, challenge technical approaches and help resolve complex delivery issues. Engage directly with senior stakeholders when additional alignment or intervention is required.\nDeveloping and scaling the Chapter Build and develop the FDE talent pool through recruitment, skills development and career management. Establish strong relationships across the business lines and position the Chapter as a recognised centre of expertise in Forward-Deployed Engineering. Represent the Chapter to senior stakeholders, working closely with the AI Centre of Excellence.\nYour profile\nSeveral years’ experience leading engineering teams, ideally within distributed, embedded or matrix-based operating models.\nExtensive hands-on experience in AI and generative AI, combined with a strong engineering background and the ability to provide credible technical leadership.\nStrong knowledge of LLM orchestration, agent frameworks and production-grade Python, with the ability to assess technical quality and identify delivery risks.\nProven ability to engage effectively with senior stakeholders in business areas such as wealth management, asset management, risk and compliance.\nExperience of working in evolving environments and establishing new structures, standards and ways of working.\nStrong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to combine people management, technical oversight and stakeholder engagement.\nFluent in both French and English.\nResident in Switzerland or willing and able to relocate.\nNote\nCL/CRO/SB\nWe will not accept any CVs via agencies\nDiversity & Inclusion\nPictet is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to creating a diverse environment. We respect all individuals and seek their inclusion in the workplace.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3955,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Wealth Management & Financial Advisors","Asset Management & Funds"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-31T15:55:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":85,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":9,"reasons":["conf:6","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pictet-chapter-lead-forward-deployed-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pictet-chapter-lead-forward-deployed-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T09:26:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14726,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1775888},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1775888"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpictet-chapter-lead-forward-deployed-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpictet-chapter-lead-forward-deployed-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpictet-chapter-lead-forward-deployed-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pictet-chapter-lead-forward-deployed-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpictet-chapter-lead-forward-deployed-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3570227}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"pictet.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3570227},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
