Senior Software Engineer - Edge Computing

Artefact

WHO IS ARTEFACT? Artefact is a next-generation strategy and data consulting firm. We sit at the intersection of top-tier strategy consulting and deep technical expertise. Our mission is to transform data into a competitive advantage for the world’s largest brands. In our Romandie office, we don't just "process" data—we use it to solve high-stakes business puzzles. We are looking for a Senior Consultant who can bridge the gap between complex data ecosystems and executive-level decision-making. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE MISSION STATEMENT: TRANSLATING DATA INTO STRATEGY As a Senior Analytics Consultant, you are the primary link between a major global client’s business goals and their technical infrastructure. This role isn't about building heavy infrastructure from scratch; it’s about Analytics Engineering—architecting the logic that turns raw information into business intelligence. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES * Strategic Stakeholder Management: Lead workshops with international business leads to define KPIs and translate vague business questions into precise technical requirements. * Analytics Engineering (dbt & BigQuery): Design and maintain high-quality data models. You will own the "logic layer," ensuring that data is transformed, historized, and optimized for business use cases. * Storytelling & Visualization: Architect the Looker (LookML) environment. You will ensure that dashboards aren't just "pretty," but are actionable tools that global markets rely on daily. * Process Leadership: Act as the guardian of data quality. You will define documentation standards, conduct audits, and ensure the long-term scalability of the analytics solution. * Proactive Advisory: As a Senior member, you are expected to challenge the status quo. You will identify opportunities where data can drive more value and propose roadmap enhancements to the client. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANDIDATE PROFILE: THE "CONSULTANT MINDSET" We are looking for a "Translator." You should be someone who enjoys the nuance of business operations just as much as a clean SQL query. * The Mindset: You are a consultant first. You understand that tech is a means to an end. You are comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and can explain complex data flows in simple, commercial terms. * Technical Proficiency: * Expert-level SQL and significant experience with dbt. * Hands-on experience with the Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery). * Professional mastery of Looker and LookML. * Business Acumen: You have a solid grasp of how global corporations operate (supply chain, distribution, or commercial data). Experience with Anaplan logic is a major plus. * Experience: 3+ years in data analytics, business intelligence, or consulting. You have a track record of owning projects from requirements gathering to final delivery. * Languages: Fluency in English and French are mandatory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY JOIN ARTEFACT SWITZERLAND? * Senior Impact: You will have high visibility within the firm and with the client. You aren't a cog in a machine; you are an architect of solutions. * Modern Analytics Stack: We focus on the "best of breed" tools (GCP, dbt, Looker), allowing you to spend more time on insights and less time on technical "plumbing." * Entrepreneurial Culture: We are a fast-growing team in Switzerland. You will help shape the culture and the way we deliver projects. * Focus on Value: We prioritize tangible business impact over technical vanity projects. This position is located in the Geneva area.
