The role
As a Senior DevOps Engineer you bridge the developer world with the operations world and support all parties with needed infrastructure. You are a DevOps advocate for mindset and toolings, value the longstanding DevOps technologies and help our customers to continuously improve their DevOps environment.
How you’ll make impact
You balance hands-on engineering with steady, strategic improvement across development and operations.
You build and refine automation for builds, deployments, testing, and monitoring, ensuring reliability in day-to-day operations.
You take ownership of production and development environments, troubleshoot issues, and work closely with development teams and hosting partners.
You introduce operational excellence into projects and guide teams toward better practices, even when change requires patience and persistence.
You advise customers on infrastructure topics and help shape long-term improvements.
What’s important to us
You have several years of experience in software development or architecture and are comfortable with operational responsibilities.
You’ve worked with technologies such as Ansible, Artifactory, container solutions, Git/GitLab, Gradle, Java, Jenkins, Maven, nginx, Spring Boot and Unix/PowerShell scripting.
You communicate clearly, understand business processes, and can unpack complex client challenges step by step.
You can drive initiatives independently and you are resilient and self-directed.
A technical degree (University of Applied Sciences, university, ETH or equivalent) is a plus.
You enjoy collaborating with customers and colleagues, and you communicate fluently in German and English.
What we offer
A role with meaningful impact on processes, stability, and long-term platform quality.
A context where progress comes through steady, incremental improvements rather than rapid technical transformation.
The opportunity to shape operational practices and work autonomously in an environment that values persistence and thoughtful change management.
