For around 25 years Adfinis has been driving digital transformation through open standards and technologies, shaping a world of innovative, sustainable, and resilient IT solutions built on reliable open-source technology.

Our Swiss-based Cloud Native stream, consisting of 25 professionals, collaborates closely with clients to support them in their organizational and technical journey into the cloud-native world. We design, build, and manage critical cloud-based IT infrastructures, relying on our proven, standardized tool stack for container platforms, security measures, and CI/CD solutions.

To expand our team, we’re seeking a Senior System Engineer. In this role, you will lead challenging customer projects and act as the Single Point of Contact for select Service Level Agreements.

Tasks

What You Will Do with Us

• Act as the technical lead on complex projects, ensuring quality standards are met.
• Lead technical discussions with demanding stakeholders, align expectations, and turn ambiguity into clear next steps.
• Anticipate organizational and delivery risks, and address them early through structured communication in complex, high-pressure customer environments.
• Manage complex, critical systems, apply updates, and resolve incidents to keep them on track.
• Plan and implement sophisticated (multi-)cloud or on-premises platforms.
• Provide comprehensive support, tackle high-priority issues, and assist junior and professional team members in critical situations.

Requirements

Must-Have Hard Skills

• Proficiency in both written and spoken German (communicating with hand signals and gestures won’t cut it for this role, unfortunately).
• Five to eight years of experience as a system engineer in cloud environments.
• A strong DevOps background: CNCF and HashiCorp stacks, GitLab, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Helm, DevSecOps, IaC, and GitOps are your bread and butter.
• Broad experience in software development, cloud migration, and platform engineering.
• Strong networking skills and the ability to translate advanced concepts into smart network designs.
• Ability to identify security vulnerabilities early and address them effectively.
• Expertise in improving automations and building new ones to enhance operations.
