Do you believe that great engineering teams are built by empowering people, developing talent, and creating an environment where individuals can thrive?

Our client's Bern-based Cyber Defense team is strengthening Switzerland's sovereign cyber resilience by building advanced, open-source, and future-ready capabilities for protecting critical national infrastructure.

As part of a highly skilled engineering organization, you will take responsibility for the people management, development, and well-being of a pool of IT engineers. Working closely with Technical Leads and Delivery Leads, you will foster individual growth, support team effectiveness, and ensure that the right competencies are available to meet evolving organizational needs.

In our collaborative and relatively flat organization, leadership is about enabling people rather than directing their technical work.

Would you like to bring your leadership experience, empathy, and organizational skills to an environment where people and engineering excellence go hand in hand? Then we look forward to hearing from you
