At Chain IQ, your ideas move fast.
Chain IQ is a global AI-driven Procurement Service Partner, headquartered in Baar, Switzerland, with operations across main centers and 16 offices worldwide. We provide tailored, end-to-end procurement solutions that enable transformation, drive scalability, and deliver substantial reductions in our clients' indirect spend. Our culture is built on innovation, entrepreneurship, ownership, and impact. Here, your voice matters - bold thinking is encouraged, and action follows ambition.
We are building an AI-native procurement platform where intelligent applications, autonomous agents, and reusable platform capabilities evolve together. This role defines the technical architecture that enables that platform to scale reliably across products, engineering teams, and future AI capabilities.
You will establish the architectural direction for the platform, defining how agent runtimes, orchestration, APIs, platform services, observability, developer tooling, and engineering standards fit together. Working across Product Engineering, Platform Engineering, Data, Security, and Product Management, you will ensure teams build consistently on shared foundations while continuously improving the engineering system itself.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role focused on architecture, engineering standards, and platform evolution rather than people management.
Why this role matters
The platform is the foundation on which every intelligent procurement capability will be built. As products, AI agents, workflows, and engineering automation continue to expand, consistent architecture becomes increasingly important. This role ensures teams build on shared capabilities rather than fragmented solutions, allowing the platform to scale while remaining maintainable, secure, observable, and adaptable as AI technologies continue to evolve.
