We are looking for a passionate Technical Architect with top-notch Java and API expertise, who can help us deliver software products to the best standards.

• Practical experience with build pipelines, Java application delivery and deployment to Linux or Kubernetes.
• Excellent spoken and written communication skills in French and/or English.
• Master’s degree in technology or equivalent.
• Residency in Switzerland from the start of the mission.
• In-depth software engineering knowledge and expertise; development, maintenance and software improvement.
• Firm belief in automation, infrastructure as code (eg: Puppet) and XaaS.
• Open-mindedness and team spirit. Ability to work independently, excellent organizational skills and keen attention to detail.

Would be a plus:

• Knowledge of the Spring framework.
• Experience with TLS/SSL, certificates and encryption in general.
• Experience with network security and firewalls.
• Some knowledge of containers and orchestrators (eg: Docker and Kubernetes).
• Proficiency in other programming languages: Python, Bash scripting, SQL DBs (MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle) or NoSQL (MongoDB, ElasticSearch).
• Interest in finance; good financial knowledge would be an advantage.
• Hands-on experience with Agile methodologies.

As the perfect candidate for this role, you are passionate about technology, with a keen interest in reliability and automation. You will use your strong engineering skills to design and implement fault-tolerant systems and prevent production problems. While making customer experience your number one priority, you will use your fast problem-solving skills to fix any unanticipated issues. In this role you will have the opportunity to work on state-of-the-art technology with a team of demanding professionals, where your expertise and interpersonal skills will be greatly valued and continuously developed.
