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 a modern platform that combines workflow automation, data-driven insights, and emerging agent capabilities. This role defines how the system behaves as a whole. You design how services interact, how workflows execute, how automation is orchestrated, and how humans and agents collaborate safely and predictably. This is a hands-on architecture role focused on real system behavior, not abstract diagrams. You work closely with product, engineering, data and security to ensure solutions are coherent, scalable, and operable. Responsibilities Design end-to-end system flows for complex, multi-step workflows Define orchestration patterns for automation and agent-driven processes Establish standards for synchronous and asynchronous interactions Shape service boundaries, APIs and event models Design lifecycle management for long-running workflows and delegated actions Define retry, error-handling, compensation and escalation patterns Ensure automation behaves predictably under failure and load Collaborate with Security on guardrails and with Data on data access patterns Review and evolve designs as the platform grows and new capabilities are introduced Act as a technical sounding board for engineering teams building platform features What you will work with Distributed services and APIs Event-driven and message-based systems Workflow and orchestration engines Automation pipelines and background processing Agent-driven execution flows and tool invocation patterns Multi-tenant system design considerations Observability signals for system behavior and workflow state Requirements Full professional fluency in English (written and spoken) is mandatory Strong experience designing distributed systems or platform solutions Background in automation, workflow orchestration or complex application design Ability to reason about system behavior over time, not just point interactions Comfort working directly with engineers and reviewing implementations Clear communication and structured thinking Ability to balance flexibility with consistency across teams Why this role matters As the platform introduces more automation and agent-driven capabilities, system behavior becomes more complex. Users and internal teams rely on predictable outcomes, safe execution, and clear escalation paths. This role ensures the platform remains coherent and trustworthy as it scales. Join a truly global team. We offer a dynamic and international environment where high performance meets real purpose. We're proud to be Great Place to Work-certified and even prouder of the people who make that possible. Let’s shape the future of procurement - together. Chain IQ – Create. Lead. Make an impact.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
