About the role

Zühlke Managed Services runs business-critical applications for clients in Switzerland, Germany, the UK and APAC. You will join our operations team and take technical ownership of the platforms behind two live programmes for one of the world's leading insurance groups. 

What you'll do

• Own CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code for both platforms, including releases, environment management and rollbacks
• Run changes through a controlled, ITIL / ISO 20000-aligned change process in a regulated insurance environment
• Maintain security baselines: secrets, certificates, access policies, vulnerability patching
• Build and tune observability (dashboards, alerting, log analysis) so problems show up before the client sees them
• Work directly with the client's engineering and security teams and with our Swiss-based Service Managers
• Take part in on-call rotation
• Use and extend AI-assisted operations tooling: automated triage, log analysis, runbook automation

What you bring

• 4+ years in DevOps / SRE / platform operations, with at least 2 running production systems under SLA
• Strong hands-on experience with [Azure / AWS], containers and Kubernetes
• Infrastructure as Code with [Terraform / Bicep]; CI/CD with [Azure DevOps / GitLab / GitHub Actions]
• Solid grasp of IAM concepts (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, directory services); hands-on experience with [Entra ID / Keycloak / ForgeRock / Ping / SailPoint] is a strong plus
• Observability tooling ([Grafana / Prometheus / ELK / Dynatrace / Azure Monitor])
• Scripting in Bash, PowerShell or Python
• Fluent English, written and spoken. [German is a plus]
• A calm, structured approach to incident handling and change control in regulated environments

Nice to have

• ServiceNow or Jira Service Management
• Practical use of AI tools in day-to-day engineering
• Financial services or insurance experience
