DevOps engineer in Zürich taking sole ownership of DevOps for an established AWS cloud platform that powers IoT products sold globally. Day to day: Kubernetes containerisation, deployments and releases, platform monitoring/security, incident response, and automation improvements. Deep Azure experience is acceptable with a move to AWS.
Join a digital solutions team building the cloud services behind IoT products that are sold globally.
This is a newly created role with clear ownership: you will take responsibility for the DevOps work currently shared by the development team, enabling them to focus on product delivery while you strengthen the platform's reliability, security and delivery capability.
Your responsibilities
- Own and continuously improve the DevOps capability for an established AWS cloud platform.
- Manage kubernetes containerisation, deployments, release activity and supporting test processes across the platform.
- Keep services, libraries and tooling current, planning upgrades and replacing obsolete components before they become risks.
- Monitor and improve platform stability, availability and security, and respond effectively to incidents and urgent third level support needs.
- Make delivery more repeatable and efficient by improving automation, operational practices and the handover between development and production.
What we are looking for
- Hands on experience operating cloud based production systems, including containerised applications, deployments, monitoring, security and incident response.
- AWS experience is preferred. Deep Azure experience is also welcome if you are ready to transfer your knowledge to AWS
- A practical understanding of software delivery and the ability to work effectively with developers, APIs, integrations and connected products.
- A relevant degree or equivalent depth of professional experience.
- Professional English is essential because team meetings and documentation are in English. German is valuable in the wider Swiss business but is not a barrier for an exceptional candidate.
- A newly created position with genuine ownership and the freedom to shape how DevOps is run.
- A modern AWS environment connecting cloud software and physical products.
- Direct involvement in an international growth programme, not just maintenance of a static platform.
- A collaborative setting with a lean internal team and established external technology partners.
