The posting

OWT is a strategy and technology consulting firm. We partner with Anthropic behind Alpha Factory, Switzerland's first centre of excellence for human-centered AI adoption.

We are strengthening our team of experts and looking for a passionate Principal Architect to drive transformation across leading Swiss organizations, based in our Zurich office.

Your mission

  • Architect and deliver scalable, secure, and business-aligned cloud-native solutions, including containerized architectures and CI/CD pipelines, with integrated AI capabilities
  • Lead end-to-end architecture on complex projects, from pre-sales to production deployment, ensuring timely delivery and client satisfaction
  • Define strategic architectural decisions and act as the technical interface between teams and stakeholders, translating business needs into pragmatic solutions and producing associated documentation (ADRs, guidelines)
  • Actively participate in development (code reviews, POCs, AI pipeline design, critical components) while ensuring overall technical consistency
  • Contribute to internal capability building through mentoring, AI technology monitoring, and best practice improvements

Requirements

  • 10+ years in software architecture across large-scale projects, with solid expertise in modern patterns (microservices, event-driven, hexagonal, clean architecture) and design principles (SOLID, DDD)
  • A genuine passion for AI and hands-on experience designing or integrating LLM APIs, RAG pipelines, and agentic systems
  • Excellent background in either Java Spring Boot or .NET stacks
  • Experience building scalable and resilient systems using cloud and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, Azure, AWS)
  • Demonstrated technical leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills across business and IT teams
  • Hands-on experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD, observability, and application security (OWASP, authentication/authorization, encryption)
  • Fluency in German and English (minimum C1 level); French is a plus

Benefits

  • A dynamic, collaborative culture with a strong client focus, working with prestigious Swiss organizations on diverse and cutting-edge technology projects
  • A growth-oriented environment with a clear career path and fast progression opportunities
  • A modern work model combining office presence, home office, and client-site collaboration
  • A competitive salary and a healthy work-life balance
  • A team of experts always ready to share knowledge, backed by a proven mentoring model to support your personal and professional development.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
