Tech Lead – Developer Experience & Platform Engineering

As Tech Lead for Developer Experience & Platform Engineering at Sygnnum in Zurich, you will shape the platform strategy and optimize CI/CD pipelines as well as internal developer tools. This senior position requires several years of experience in technical leadership as well as expertise in Java/Node.js, Kubernetes, and AWS to make software development more efficient and secure.

About the role

  • The team's mission is to improve how engineers develop, test, and deploy software—by streamlining the entire delivery process across the entire development lifecycle through better tools, smarter pipelines, and a platform design that makes the right path the easiest one.
  • This is a fundamental role—you set the direction for the team and are actively involved in what matters most.

Your tasks

  • Design and improve CI/CD pipelines, review workflows, and release processes that reflect how teams actually work today, including AI-powered development.
  • Building internal platforms, SDKs, CLIs, and libraries that engineers adopt because they are genuinely useful—not because they are required.
  • Thoughtful integration of GenAI into platform tools, with automated quality checks and feedback loops that make AI-generated code more reliable over time.
  • Responsibility for the platform roadmap. Balancing feature requests, technical debt, and strategic investments using real data—cycle time, deployment frequency, and developer satisfaction.

Your profile

  • 6+ years of experience building services and libraries with Java (Quarkus) or Node.js (NestJS)
  • 3+ years of technical leadership across multiple teams
  • Practical expertise with Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitLab CI/CD
  • Familiarity with AWS and developer productivity tools

Our Engineering Culture

  • Team-first mindset. The team comes before the individual.
  • Our people come first, always. It all starts here.
  • We deliver frequently, with high quality and reliability.
  • We celebrate our successes and learn from our mistakes. That's the key to a healthy balance.
  • We're pragmatic and strive for simplicity. KISS in everything we do.
  • We make a positive impact. We deliver results.

We offer

  • An attractive combination of market-rate salaries and an entrepreneurial incentive system
  • Flexible Work-from-Home Policies
  • Professional development through mentoring and buddy programs
  • One month of fully paid sabbatical leave after five years of continuous employment
