Who are we?

Artefact is a European leader in Data and AI consulting. Present in 24 countries with 1,800 employees, including 200 technical profiles in Paris, we deploy tailor-made technical solutions for major global groups across all key sectors of the economy – industry, retail, luxury, fast-moving consumer goods, healthcare, finance. Committed pioneers, we promote ethical AI through our Research Center in Paris and Shanghai.

Why join us?

You want to be at the heart of the ongoing AI revolution and don't want to miss the wave.
You want to work on GenAI use cases, or design architectures where language models are no longer an end in themselves, but one component among others: orchestrated, evaluated, controlled. On a daily basis, you use coding agents yourself to go faster and better. Not as a gadget, but as a real productivity lever, integrated into your way of working.

You are not here to do POCs. You are here to solve problems that few Software Engineers have yet had to face.
Our Software Engineers are the trusted developers and architects for our clients, working on cutting-edge issues. They are involved in strategic missions such as building robust Data Platforms on GCP or developing complex architectures for Agentic Platforms.

Tired of working on the same data pipeline for two years? Here, you frequently change sector, technological stack, and strategic challenges, while capitalizing on each experience gained.

If you are looking for a position where you will be doing the same thing in a year, look elsewhere! At Artefact, each new mission is an opportunity to develop your skills on a new technological stack or a new business sector. 

You want to join a career accelerator in Data and AI.

Joining our team means integrating a community of Software Engineers who share their feedback, what worked on a mission, and what worked less well. Thanks to our internal rituals (Tech Talks, Guilds, Mission Debriefs), every problem solved by a colleague becomes a skill acquired for you. You learn three times faster, surrounded by other experts who share the same mindset.

The challenges you will work on

Here are examples of real problems our teams have tackled in the last 12 months:

• Deploying a multi-agent chatbot integrated into the main website of a car manufacturer to assist visitors in choosing a vehicle
  We deployed a LangGraph multi-agent solution in production to serve multiple countries using a scalable architecture on Kubernetes. The solution, framed by safeguards, answers visitors' questions about the different vehicle ranges, services, and available offers.
• Modernizing an analytical database to Snowflake
  We designed a Medallion data architecture replacing our client's legacy, ensuring data quality during migration and using infrastructure as code to manage the provisioning of objects and permissions in Snowflake.

What you bring

Mindset

• Ingenious, you enjoy solving complex problems and have the right intuition to tackle any kind of technical subject.
• Curious, you dislike routine and are constantly staying updated to enrich your tech culture.
• Benevolent, you care about your team's development, providing constructive feedback and guiding each member's progress, particularly through educational code reviews.
• Demanding, you are the guarantor of the quality of code and deliverables. You take pride in doing a job well done.
• Convincing, you have strong technical convictions and know how to defend them in a pedagogical manner. 

Technical specializations sought (1 minimum)

Our Software Engineers adapt to our clients' technical stack. Nevertheless, here are some examples of our preferred technologies that we often use on missions: Python, FastAPI, dbt, LangGraph, Docker, Terraform, Cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure)...

In addition to classic fundamentals, here is the list of specializations we are looking for:

• Analytics Engineer
• Software Developer
• Site Reliability Engineer
• Cloud Architect
