Applied AI Engineer - Zurich
Machine Learning EngineerLocation: Zurich / RemoteLanguage: German/Swiss German Preferred (English Fluent/Professional) This is a priority search for a small investment group building an internal AI Lab across companies they actively own.The company operates across retail and FMCG supply chains. Their portfolio supports large offline and online retailers, with heavy operational workflows across trading, pricing, ERP, and CRM. Today a lot of value is lost to manual processes and fragmented systems.This hire will be the first dedicated technical builder in the AI Lab. The focus is hands on delivery, not research.The expectation is to design, build, and ship AI driven systems that improve trader productivity, reduce operational friction, and surface revenue opportunities. This includes agent based workflows, internal tools, and hands on AI and ML implementation.You would work closely with founders and operators, move quickly, and have real autonomy. There is also exposure to reviewing the technical architecture of new investments and shaping build decisions early.Small, elite team distributed across Europe. High responsibility and clear ownership from day one. Real upside tied to equity backed projects.Ideally Switzerland based. German or Swiss German is a strong plus, English is also required.If you enjoy building in ambiguous environments and want your work in production immediately, feel free to send your CV.

Remote work, Switzerland
Lead AI Engineer
Lead AI Engineer Fully Remote - Europe I am working with a European health tech scale up that is building production grade AI systems used by insurers, governments, hospitals, and pharma groups to support complex drug pricing and reimbursement decisions.They are hiring a Lead AI Engineer to own the AI architecture end to end and drive how LLM based systems are designed, evaluated, and shipped into production.The role is hands on and strategic. You would lead AI initiatives across RAG pipelines, agent workflows, and tool orchestration, while mentoring a small engineering team and working closely with product and platform leads. A big focus is on building systems that are observable, cost aware, and reliable, not demos.The environment suits someone who has spent time taking LLM systems from concept to real usage, has strong Python and backend experience, and understands tradeoffs around latency, throughput, and evaluation. Experience with LangChain or LangGraph, FastAPI style services, cloud infrastructure, and MLOps practices is important.The product domain sits at the intersection of healthcare, pricing, and access to medicines, with real world impact and complex constraints. The team is senior, international, and remote first across Europe.If this sounds aligned with the kind of problems you enjoy working on, feel free to share your updated resume/cv!
