DevOps / Platform Engineer (a), 100%

To strengthen our team in the Global IT department, we are looking for a dedicated DevOps Platform Engineer, 100%.

We are building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that lets teams across Bachem deliver applications in a standardized, self-service way. In this hands-on role you will build, operate and scale the platform – bringing your experience to strengthen its core foundations today, and helping grow it into the backbone that serves the whole organization tomorrow.

Your tasks:

• Build, automate and operate our Internal Developer Platform based on GitHub Enterprise and cloud infrastructure
• Design and maintain infrastructure as code to provision environments, resources and guardrails in a repeatable, auditable way
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines and reusable workflow templates in GitHub Actions, with quality, security and compliance built in
• Help scale the platform as adoption grows - improving reusable templates, guardrails and self-service capabilities so it serves more teams without more manual effort
• Keep the platform reliable, compliant and secure – monitoring, observability, incident response, patching and continuous improvement of operational practices
• Implement platform governance and guardrails: access management, policies, secrets handling and cost awareness
• Facilitate discussions and drive alignment across stakeholder groups with different priorities, translating their requirements into coherent, shared platform capabilities.
• Partner with developers across a wide range of skill levels: coaching newcomers, enabling professional developers and adapting your communication and support to each audience.
• Create documentation, guidelines and onboarding materials that make the platform easy to adopt for developers of every maturity level
• Collaborate closely with the Platform Owner to translate the platform roadmap into technical solutions
• Ensure platform reliability and security through monitoring, observability, and policy-driven governance

Your profile

• Degree in IT or equivalent practical experience in a field related to DevOps or software engineering
• 3-5 years of experience with DevOps or a closely related software engineering role
• Strong hands-on experience with GitHub Enterprise, including GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines and repository governance
• Solid experience automating infrastructure-as-code deployments (Terraform) via GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, targeting Azure and/or AWS

• A product-oriented mindset and the drive to make developers more productive

• A collaborative, service‑oriented mindset that thrives in agile, iterative environments, measuring success by how productive and self‑sufficient you help platform users become
• Comfortable in an agile environment, delivering iteratively and self-organizing to keep steady progress
• Nice to have: Experience with regulated / GxP environments
• Fluent in English, German is a plus

Our offer:

• A dynamic and rapidly growing work environment with internal development and training opportunities

• Flexible working hours with home office days and an option for obtaining additional vacation days through workload reduction
• Company‑run daycare center on the Bachem Campus in Bubendorf
• 60% coverage of pension fund contributions by Bachem AG as well as option for extra-mandatory pension provision with our Pension Plan Plus
