Software Engineer III

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts.

The role

The Software Engineer III will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Switzerland. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. A quiet workspace and good internet are required.

Key responsibilities

• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.

Minimum qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.

Nice to have

• Prior work at an early-stage startup.
• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.
• Contributions to open source projects.

Pay: CHF 162,000 - CHF 200,000/year
