Python, Software Engineer, DevOps, Backend Developer
Location: Zürich
We are creating value for global customers with AI. Now, we are looking for a seasoned Python Backend Developer to join our development team. You will be responsible for building scalable, resilient server-side logic and managing application life cycles in a Kubernetes-orchestrated environment.
As an ideal candidate,
you don't just write code
;
You understand the business needs (use cases), and how that code behaves in production, how to automate its journey through a CI/CD pipeline
, and how to leverage AI-assisted development tools to boost velocity and code quality.
- Architect & Develop: Design and maintain high-performance, low-latency Python applications using frameworks like FastAPI or Django.
- Orchestration & Scaling: Deploy and manage microservices within Kubernetes (K8s), ensuring proper resource allocation, service discovery, and monitoring.
- Automation (CI/CD): Own the "build-test-deploy" cycle by configuring and optimizing pipelines (Git Lab, Git Lab pipeline, Git Lab CI, or Jenkins).
- System Design: Integrate various data storage solutions (Postgre
SQL, Redis, Mongo
DB) and message brokers (Rabbit
MQ, Kafka). - AI Integration: Utilize AI-driven tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, or LLM APIs) to accelerate refactoring, documentation, and unit test generation.

The "AI-Enhanced" Developer
We value candidates who embrace the future of coding. You should have:
- Experience using AI pair programmers to reduce boilerplate and catch edge cases.
- An understanding of how to integrate LLMs into backend workflows (prompt engineering, RAG, or fine-tuning APIs).
- A "Dev Ops mindset"—you believe that "done" means the code is running smoothly in production, not just passing on your local machine.
- You know how to benefit from Claude, Perplexity, CoPilot, and others to create better code faster.
You’ll work in a high-trust environment where we prioritize clean code
, automated testing
, and continuous learning
. We don't just use Kubernetes because it's trendy; we use it to solve complex scaling problems, and we want you to help us steer that ship.
We believe in "boring" infrastructure and "exciting" features. We automate the mundane so you can focus on solving the hard problems.
