My client is currently entering a key scale-up phase for their sovereign cloud operations in Switzerland.

• Holds an Azure Admin Associate (AZ-104) and Azure DevOps Expert (AZ-400) certification.
• Has hands-on experience with automation and provisioning tools (Ansible, Terraform, Bicep, Bash, PowerShell, Python).
• Brings deep knowledge of Windows and Linux environments.
• Understands networking, Active Directory, DNS, firewalls, and databases across Azure and on-premises.
• Is comfortable with agile methodologies and collaborative, global DevOps cultures.
• Learns quickly and enjoys sharing expertise with teammates.

Who is interested in:

• Developing and managing the technical capabilities of a Swiss-based cloud ops team.
• Building, maintaining, and scaling a multi-environment Azure cloud platform.
• Creating and improving automation for platform and application deployments.
• Supporting cloud monitoring, incident resolution, and process optimization.
• Sharing best practices across international DevOps communities.

For a company who:

• Can offer a competitive base salary, including a strong pension scheme, learning budgets, flexible work model, and generous vacation policy.
• Operates a sovereign cloud platform exclusively hosted in Switzerland.
• Offers a globally connected, yet locally autonomous DevOps environment.
• Invests in career growth, certifications, and innovation.
