Cloud Engineer (DevOps & Automation)

For a renowned Swiss financial institution, you will help shape the future of a modern Azure platform. As part of the Automation Team, you will drive Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD and self-service, turning the platform into a true product that internal teams love to use. A special highlight: you will play an active role in the migration from Bitbucket and Jenkins to Azure DevOps and define the pipeline standards of tomorrow. Working in an agile SCRUM environment, you will collaborate closely with Cloud Engineering, Security, Operations and the development teams, gaining valuable experience in a demanding, regulated industry.

In your day-to-day work, you will develop and operate the Azure platform with Terraform, including testing and staging approaches. You will standardize and automate recurring requests and expand self-service offerings for internal teams, while providing standardized images and database offerings that help accelerate migrations. You will implement security and compliance requirements technically and make sure they are enforced automatically. In addition, you will evaluate, approve and standardize new Azure services and contribute to resilience topics. As the migration to Azure DevOps progresses, you will help shape it, build pipeline standards and enable teams to work with them. Finally, you will create documentation, templates and onboarding material so that platform users can get started quickly and confidently.
