Your missions 🛠

As a Consultant Lead, you work with our clients to transform and modernise the entire software development life cycle (SDLC) using Artificial Intelligence. You design Business Analysis, Software, and Quality Engineering strategies enhanced by generative and agent technologies. Your goal is to accelerate deliveries from ideation to production deployment while ensuring the highest level of quality and resilience. You support the adoption of these new practices within organisations.

• Audit, Consulting and Global Transformation: Assess the maturity of all SDLC phases at our clients. Identify AI automation opportunities from requirements capture to deployment, define the strategic roadmap, lead scoping workshops, and support change management.
• Augmented Business Analysis & Scoping: Design AI agents and workflows to accelerate and secure the scoping phase: automate specification writing, generate and refine complex User Stories, early detection of functional contradictions, and business process modelling.
• AI-powered Software Architecture & Quality Engineering: Design software and test architectures where AI agents analyse requirements, source code, APIs, and documentation. Automate code generation as well as the creation of functional, integration, regression, accessibility, and performance tests.
• Agentic Automation & CI/CD: Develop and orchestrate autonomous agents capable of backlog triage, defect categorisation, and test development and maintenance (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, pytest). Ensure their native integration into Git and CI/CD pipelines.
• RAG & Knowledge Capitalisation: Exploit and connect knowledge bases from all SDLC stages (Jira, Confluence, Git, APM tools, Business Analysis tools) to feed LLMs, contextualise agent decisions, and eliminate hallucinations.
• Governance, DevSecOps & Human-in-the-Loop: Define the target operating model and the role of human validation (Human-in-the-Loop). Establish quality, code security (DevSecOps), traceability, and maintainability standards for deployed AI solutions.
• Performance and Leadership: Manage productivity and reliability indicators across the entire value chain, continuously improve agents, ensure technological watch, and act as a trusted advisor to client teams (C-Level, Product Owners, Devs, QA).

Your profile 👀

• 7+ years of experience combining consulting, technical Business Analysis, Software Engineering, and Quality Engineering, with comprehensive and cross-functional mastery of all SDLC phases.
• Excellent knowledge of product and engineering methodologies: Requirements engineering (Business Analysis), Agile/Scrum practices, software architecture, software testing strategies, and DevOps/CI-CD culture.
• Strong technical skills: Python and/or TypeScript, API design/consumption, Git, and automation frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, pytest or equivalents).
• Practical experience of AI applied to Delivery: Use and deployment of code assistants (Copilots) or autonomous agents applied to specification, development, or QA phases, with a keen awareness of their limits and biases.
• Generative AI skills: Good understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, and agentic frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen or similar).
• Leader and consultant mindset: Highly analytical mind, excellent multidisciplinary communication, ability to simplify technical concepts for business teams and challenge technical management.
