Position: IT Systems & Security Engineer

Location: Switzerland – regular on-site presence required

Start Date: ASAP, or as agreed

Contract: Full time employment

We are looking for a hands-on IT Systems & Security Engineer who combines strong infrastructure expertise with a genuine security mindset. You will work across cloud, on-premise infrastructure, networking and cybersecurity in a role where autonomy, problem-solving, documentation and technical ownership are essential.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the IT Engineer & Systems Administration Manager, you will be responsible for the implementation, maintenance, configuration and reliable operation of Medimaps’ corporate and infrastructure IT environment.

Your scope will cover Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, on-premise virtualisation, networking, servers, end-user computing and security operations.

Security is at the heart of the role. You will help ensure our systems are secure by default while managing day-to-day security activities including monitoring, vulnerability management, patching, hardening, access control and incident follow-up.

As part of a small and highly collaborative IT team, you will have significant hands‑on responsibility and autonomy. Strong written documentation is essential: every system you operate should be secure, reliable and documented well enough that another team member can operate it independently.

What You’ll Do

• Install, configure, update and upgrade servers, virtual machines, network equipment, workstations and software.
• Operate and maintain the Microsoft Azure environment, including IaaS and PaaS resources, networking, subscriptions, monitoring, backup, tagging and resource organisation.
• Administer Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID, including Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Intune, licensing, groups and conditional access.
• Operate and maintain on‑premise virtualisation environments, including VMware ESXi/vCenter and Proxmox VE.
• Manage the network environment, including firewalls, VLANs, routing, VPN, DNS, DHCP, reverse proxies, TLS certificates, WiFi and network segmentation.
• Administer Windows Server and Linux systems, storage, capacity and performance, including SAN, NAS and database hosting.
• Automate recurring administration activities using PowerShell and shell scripting, with versioned and documented scripts.
• Run day‑to‑day security operations, including security monitoring, SIEM, vulnerability management, patching, hardening, endpoint protection and privileged access management.
• Handle security incidents through containment, investigation, documentation and lessons learned, and contribute to cyber security awareness across the organisation.
• Manage backup and recovery operations, perform documented restore tests and contribute to disaster recovery and business continuity planning.
• Provide 1st, 2nd and 3rd level IT support to internal colleagues and manage incidents and requests through the ticketing system.
• Maintain clear, structured technical documentation, runbooks, inventories, network diagrams, access records and technical specifications.
• Participate in IT and R&D projects from design and deployment through to operation and support.
• Contribute to Medimaps’ security and compliance roadmap, including CIS Controls and Benchmarks, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, NIS2-related expectations, GDPR and Swiss data protection requirements.
