If you're passionate about ensuring the stability and scalability of our platform and are eager to take ownership of the SRE function at SwissBorg, we want you on board.
Our engineering team embraces a robust DevOps culture, where you will be involved in working on internally and externally facing services, improving perfecting operations and ultimately scaling the system for the next Bull Run.
We embrace trust in each other and find a balanced dynamic to enhance everyone’s ability to deliver their best work. Carrying mission-critical responsibilities, we are committed to proactively identifying and addressing issues around security, scalability, responsiveness and runtime through careful planning and preventive measures.

  • Contribute to the expansion and maintenance of a self-healing system with high availability and scalability for SwissBorg products
