In the Data, Technology & Innovation area, around 600 software and system developers work throughout Switzerland and develop the technology of tomorrow in-house. In doing so, we also collaborate in global teams and networks.
We shape and integrate the latest tools, organize hackathons and our agile product teams run self-organized and are independently responsible from A to Z.

What awaits you

• You share responsibility for the overall system between AI-based underwriting solutions (Agentic Offering, UW Workbench, Automation Tasks), price & discount control (Pricing Engine) and Core IT - from architecture to productive operation
• You actively shape and develop the interfaces and integrations between these systems - with the ambition to create a robust, scalable and maintainable ecosystem that delivers measurable added value to the P&C business
• You work closely with Data Scientists, actuaries, AI Engineers and business stakeholders from underwriting and pricing - you translate between the technical and specialist worlds and transform complex requirements into working solutions
• As a Lead, you are a sparring partner, an impulse provider and the technical conscience of the team: You establish best practices, accompany code reviews and actively contribute to the further development of the shared engineering culture
• You follow relevant developments in the field of software engineering, cloud and AI, evaluate them critically and make them usable for your team and your stakeholders - as a thought leader with down-to-earth qualities
• You move deliberately in the tension between innovation and stability: You question assumptions, bring in new ideas and have the courage to ask uncomfortable questions - because the best solutions are created here

What you bring with you

• You bring several years of experience as a software engineer or AI engineer - and a clear track record in designing, integrating and operationally running complex, distributed systems
• You are familiar with the development and operation of backend applications in Python (e.g. FastAPI, Flask) and know how to cleanly combine APIs, data pipelines and AI components
• You think in overall architectures: You design system landscapes beyond individual components and always make decisions while taking latency, cost, security and maintainability into account
• Cloud-native concepts, containerization (Docker / Kubernetes), Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD are a permanent part of your toolbox - experience with GCP (especially Vertex AI & Cloud Run) is a clear plus
• You are "opinionated" regarding software design principles and technology use - without losing sight of pragmatism in implementation
• You understand insurance products and processes - or you are eager to understand them. Knowledge in the P&C business, in underwriting or in pricing is a real plus, because the best integration solutions arise where domain knowledge meets engineering
• You speak fluent German and English
