With us, competence, team spirit, and passion come together. If you want to be part of a success story that shapes the Swiss healthcare system daily, then you are exactly right with us.
Innovative together. For more time with people.
Your tasks
- Design, implementation, and operation of production-ready software solutions throughout the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
- Responsibility for system design and technical decision-making at the component and service level.
- Active participation in trunk-based development setups including code reviews, continuous integration, and clean release flow.
- Definition and implementation of test strategies (unit, integration, end-to-end tests) to ensure quality and maintainability.
- Close collaboration with product management, design, and architecture to implement functional and technical requirements.
- Continuous improvement of code quality, development processes, and technical stability.
As a Senior Software Engineer in the "Module Development Curve" team, you are a central driver for the technical quality of our systems. You develop robust, scalable software solutions along the entire software development lifecycle and actively contribute your experience in architecture, design, and implementation questions.
Your profile

- Completed studies (university/fachhochschule) in computer science or a comparable technical education.
- Very good understanding of modern software architecture and system design principles.
- Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps environments (e.g., GitLab CI, Kubernetes, Argo).
- Solid knowledge of backend technologies with TypeScript / Node.js, ideally with frameworks like NestJS.
- Experience with API design (e.g., REST, GraphQL; federation is an advantage).
- Solid experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, Oracle).
- High technical curiosity, quality awareness, and a pragmatic engineering mindset.
- Strong team player who actively shares knowledge within the team.
- High personal responsibility and cooperative working style in interdisciplinary teams.
