Job description

The engineering team is based in Zurich and is responsible for maintaining and evolving a distributed system operating at significant scale. The primary focus of this role is a background migration initiative, driven by a strategic change in the tooling and infrastructure used by the platform. This includes migrating existing functionality, ensuring system continuity, and improving long-term maintainability and reliability.

As a Software Engineer, you will make larger, mostly independent technical contributions with a strong focus on system and tooling migration. You will own end-to-end migration tasks, from analysis and implementation to validation and rollout, while collaborating closely with other engineers.

You will also:

Develop and maintain production-quality C++ code to support system and tooling migration
Migrate existing functionality to new frameworks, tools, or infrastructure while minimizing risk
Contribute to qualification, deployment, monitoring, documentation, and operational support during and after migration
Design and improve test, monitoring, and automation infrastructure to validate migration success
Perform testing beyond unit tests (integration, performance, stress, load, security, fuzz testing)
Review code written by peers and provide feedback to ensure best practices and migration quality
Identify, prioritize, and reduce technical debt, particularly uncovered during migration activities
Triage and resolve system or production issues arising from migration changes

Requirements

We are currently looking for an experienced Software Engineer (m/w/d) with strong C++ expertise to support a large-scale migration project within a high-performance content matching and identification platform., * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
