DevOps / Security Engineer

Salary: CHF 100'000 - 125'000 per year

Requirements:

Around 3–5 years keeping production systems healthy in a DevOps, SRE, platform or security role, ideally somewhere small enough that you’ve had to cover a lot of ground yourself

At home on both sides of a hybrid setup: managed cloud services (compute, networking, storage, access control) and physical servers you’ve set up yourself and fixed when components fail

In-depth knowledge of Linux and core networking, including routing, DNS, TCP/IP, firewalls and locking down remote access

Automation as second nature: IaC, pipelines, monitoring, readable Python or Bash scripts, and incident handling and restore procedures you’ve actually tested

Working English, plus German understanding

Responsibilities:

Run a hybrid estate of public cloud and self-managed hardware, from Linux hosts and storage through to the network links that join them

Treat infrastructure as code: automated builds, configuration management and deployment pipelines that can be safely rolled back

Look after machines from first install to retirement, including updates, sizing for growth and liaising with hardware vendors

Make sure telemetry tells the team something worth knowing, and get to the root of outages and slowdowns wherever they start

Prove that resilience works through regular recovery drills, failover tests and a disaster recovery plan the team trusts

Build security into the infrastructure itself, keeping a compliance-heavy environment hardened against an evolving threat landscape

Take a turn on the support rota and speak with customers from time to time

You’d join a small engineering crew in Zürich where everyone’s work is visible and decisions get made quickly. The team mostly works side by side in the office, prefers straightforward conversations, and keeps evenings free. Modern tooling, including AI assistants, is part of the daily routine. Competitive salary and benefits.
