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.

• Profit share scheme: In addition to your annual salary, you may receive a profit share defined by the company's success in the previous year
