Shape and execute the AI SDLC at SIX · reports to Head of Software Engineering Practices
Agentic AI is changing how software gets built — and at SIX, it will touch the work of more than thousand engineers. As AI Software Architect, you will set the technical direction for this shift: designing the reference patterns, tooling, and quality gates that make AI-augmented and agentic development safe and effective in a regulated financial market infrastructure, and driving adoption across teams you don't manage.
What You Will Do
- Translate the AI software engineering strategy into working practice. Design, prototype and harden the reference patterns, tooling and reusable components that make AI SDLC (augmented, agentic) real across SIX.
- Set the deepest technical standards for AI-based development: prompt and agent patterns, code review of AI-generated code, and the quality and security gates that make it safe in a regulated FMI.
- Support and execute the people transformation journey, evolving developer roles, team structures, processes and ways of working to unlock the full potential of AI-augmented software engineering
- Run lighthouse engagements hands-on: understand the process of business-unit software teams, baseline and measure impact on real backlogs, and prove value before scaling.
- Drive adoption across teams you don't manage. Coach senior engineers, win over skeptics, and lead the community of practice across CH, ES, PL and IN.
What You Bring
- 8+ years in software engineering with deep with current hands-on expertise across the entire SDLC. You still design software systems, write and review code, and engineers trust your technical judgment.
- Strong systems and architecture thinking across the end-to-end SDLC, and sound judgment on putting AI into a regulated, business-critical environment
- Hands-on experience with AI harness, LLM APIs and agent frameworks, including building custom workflows when off-the-shelf falls short. Claude Code hands-on experience in production is a plus.
- A track record of driving change through influence, not authority. You've won over skeptical senior engineers and spread practice across teams you didn't manage.
- Excellent stakeholder management, low ego and a teaching instinct — equally credible in a design review with a principal engineer and a risk conversation with security; fluent in English, German a plus.
