This is what you can look forward to.

The solution "IT Base Infrastructure" provides cloud and platform services, data and messaging infrastructure, API management as well as developer experience for the entire SBB. Our Agile Release Train Application Platform delivers the basic infrastructure so that business applications can be implemented and operated quickly, securely and scalably. You take on a key role at the interface of platform services such as databases, containers, IaaS, monitoring, API management and messaging. These are services on which hundreds of applications run and which form the backbone of the digital SBB. You keep operations running, drive further development and keep an eye on cost-effectiveness. At the same time, you have your ear to the market and the Digital Solution organisations to recognise early where new technologies or services are needed. Validate, try out, shut down if unsuccessful, scale massively if successful – with built-in quality – this is your playing field. A role with great impact and plenty of scope for design.

This is what you can achieve.

• As Product Manager (m/f/d) Application Platform, you are responsible for platforms that form the digital foundation of the SBB and thus the basis for railway operations in Switzerland.
• You shape a demanding and very broad field of activity in an IT environment that must be designed for highest availability, standardisation and scaling, where your decisions have a direct impact.
• You work closely with ARTs such as Identity & Access Management, Development Experience and Cloud Foundation to jointly establish even better, scaled and economical platforms and practices.
• You ensure that technology is not an end in itself, but reliably gets people from A to B every day.
• You also actively participate in the ART leadership to further develop the ART and initiate and drive cross-ART initiatives.
• In close exchange with product owners, development, operations and SaaS providers, you balance requirements and ensure viable decisions in interaction with security, architecture and business IT.

This is what you bring with you.

• Strong leadership skills to proactively drive topics forward, develop teams and employees, promote self-responsibility and act effectively in a shared leadership model.
• A winning manner, curiosity for technology trends, entrepreneurial thinking and the persistence to get topics off the ground across many stakeholders.
• Confident stakeholder management and target group-oriented communication in a complex field of tension between operations, development, business IT, security and architecture. Strong storytelling skills and executive presence to communicate complex platform topics clearly.
• Sound understanding of infrastructure and platform technologies to work on equal footing with architects and developers and to support technology decisions.
• Several years of experience in product management of platform services in a scaled, agile environment with many customers.
• Validation-driven working method with the courage to deliberately try out new things, evaluate with customers and scale if necessary.
