As Lead Advisor - AI-Native Engineering, you're the person clients turn to when their developers are already experimenting with AI coding tools - but without guidelines, guardrails, or any real sense of what it's delivering. You close that gap, working directly on the client's own codebase and delivery pipeline instead of from a slide.Your tasks\nIntroduce AI-assisted engineering into client teams and make it stick - coding assistants, agents, spec-driven development.\nDesign guardrails for coding agents: scoped permissions, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, review and CI gates that agent-generated code can't bypass.\nKeep quality high where agents are in the loop - definition of done for agent output, tests and static analysis as the real safety net, review practices that catch plausible-but-wrong code.\nRun agents economically - right-sized context and models per task, no runaway loops, cost tracked per outcome.\nAssess AI readiness at delivery level and map legacy systems onto realistic replacement paths.\nIndependently facilitate Big Picture Event Storming and technical workshops with CTOs, architects, and development teams.\nHelp evolve SQUER's \"AI in the SDLC\" offering and spot follow-up engagement potential in running projects.\nYour qualifications\nSeveral years of development experience, including a lead or senior role with real ownership of a system or a team.\nAI-assisted coding on a complex project, professional or private - describable with tool, scope, and outcome.\nOwn AI practice beyond ChatGPT: own workflows, agents, MCP servers, custom GPTs.\nSolid understanding of LLMs, agents, and RAG - what each is and when to use it.\nHands-on experience putting guardrails around coding agents, and a clear sense of where agentic coding typically goes wrong.\nConfident in CI/CD, testing, and iterative delivery.\nComfortable running a workshop in front of an unfamiliar group.\nFluent in German and English - both required.\nYour Benefits\nWhy You'll Love Working at SQUER:Ownership & Responsibility: at SQUER, we believe in empowering our team.
