Founded in Switzerland in 1968, Zühlke is owned by its partners and located across Europe and Asia. We are a global transformation partner, with engineering and innovation in our DNA. We're trusted to help clients envision and build their businesses for the future – to run smarter today while adapting for tomorrow’s markets, customers, and communities. Our multidisciplinary teams specialise in tech strategy and business innovation, digital solutions and applications, and device and systems engineering. We excel in complex, regulated spaces including health and finance, connecting strategy, tech implementation, and operational services to help clients become more effective, resilient businesses.
If you share our values and want to do the best work, for the right reasons, we can offer you the chance to do it on a global scale and play a real role in shaping our exciting journey.
You'll join a growing practice that runs application support and operations across 20+ clients, covering Java, .NET, Python, and TypeScript/Node.js stacks. Your primary assignment will be two Java applications for a Swiss federal regulatory authority, but you'll also contribute to other engagements as the team and portfolio evolve.
We're building an AI-first operations model. That means we actively use AI tooling (coding assistants, automated log analysis, AI-assisted incident triage) in daily work, and we expect you to push that boundary further. If you're the kind of engineer who builds scripts and automations to eliminate repetitive work, and who reaches for AI tools before doing things manually, you'll fit right in.
Your first assignment involves two Java applications with very different stacks: one modern cloud-native system on Java 25 / Spring Boot 4, one legacy Java EE monolith in maintenance mode. Over time, you may rotate into Python, .NET, or TypeScript/Node.js engagements depending on team needs and your profile.
This is not greenfield development, but it's not just keeping the lights on either.
Beyond day-to-day support, these engagements include product evolution: new features, regulatory adaptations, and system improvements driven by real user needs. You'll have the opportunity to shape how applications grow, not only how they run. If you want impact beyond the run phase, this is where you get it.
