Senior Microsoft SharePoint (M365) Engineer/Developer
At Vontobel, we’re transforming our core collaboration platforms from on-prem Atlassian to Confluence Cloud, while evolving SharePoint into a powerful, modern intranet experience used by every employee, every day.
As a Senior Microsoft SharePoint Engineer / Developer, you won’t just support systems; you’ll redefine them. Take ownership, drive innovation, and build solutions that truly matter across the organization.
If you’re hands-on, forward-thinking, and excited to make a visible impact, this is your chance to lead from the front.
What would your role be?
Own and deliver the technical implementation of intranet and collaboration use cases across Microsoft SharePoint and Atlassian Confluence, from requirements to production operations.
Play a leading engineering role in the migration from on-prem Atlassian Data Center intranet content to SharePoint platform evolution.
Design, build, and maintain modern SharePoint Online solutions (sites, information architecture, permissions, content models, search, and governance) with a strong focus on developer-grade extensibility.
Build and evolve intranet features and integrations (e.g., navigation, publishing patterns, content rollups, automation, and platform-wide components) that scale to a firm-wide audience.
Develop and maintain integrations and migration tooling between Confluence and SharePoint (content move, metadata mapping, link integrity, redirects, and quality checks) to enable a controlled, low-risk transition.
Act as a senior hands-on engineer: lead code reviews, establish engineering standards, improve CI/CD and operational readiness, and mentor colleagues working on the intranet and platform ecosystem.
What are we looking for?
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, a related field, or a completed software engineering apprenticeship.
At least 5 years of hands-on professional experience as senior Microsoft SharePoint Engineer / Developer with strong delivery track record in enterprise platforms and high-visibility web systems such as intranets.
Deep, current expertise in Microsoft SharePoint (development and administration) including modern SharePoint patterns and operating models in a regulated environment.
Strong experience building web solutions (TypeScript/JavaScript, modern frontend, APIs) and implementing secure, maintainable backend services where needed.
Solid understanding of identity, permissions, and governance concepts, comfortable designing and operating access models for bank-wide information platforms.
Experience with migrations (platform or content), including planning, tooling, validation, stakeholder communication, and incremental rollout strategies.
A pragmatic, communicative team player who can own decisions, handle ambiguity, and collaborate closely with business stakeholders, security, and IT operations.
Fluent in English, with basic German (A2 level) to read documentation and navigate our bilingual intranet application and content.
