Senior Platform Engineer - Identity & Security (m/f/d) 80-100%

135892 | 80 - 100% | Oerlikon, Zürich | Hybrid

Are you energized by solving complex IT challenges, and do you bring the emotional intelligence to navigate stakeholders across business, security, and engineering? Do you question the status quo and use your judgment to shape direction where best practice does not yet exist?

In the Engineering and Integration team, we connect what's separated, secure what matters, and reveal what's hidden, while shaping how integration, identity, and security work in a world of Agentic AI, hybrid delivery, and Zero Trust. We're modernising our identity platform around Keycloak, embedding Zero Trust and fine-grained authorization as the default, and building the identity foundations for an AI-augmented enterprise.

We’re looking for an experienced professional who leads through concepts, direction, and judgment, preparing Zurich Switzerland for what's next, by ensuring a future-ready, cost-efficient application landscape that scales as our business evolves - in an era where engineering value increasingly lies in judgment.

You'll work closely with our Senior Product Owner/Architect, Engineers, and Specialists, as the person who moves things forward, technologically, methodologically and conceptually.

We're an agile, collaborative team with a strong network across Business Unit Switzerland. Together with all IT departments, we combine deep technical expertise with a clear focus on delivery and outstanding service to our stakeholders.

If you love solving hard problems, communicate with clarity and empathy, and thrive in multidisciplinary teams, this role is exactly right for you.

What you can expect

• Set the technical direction for how our team engineers identity and security in an era where coding shifts toward becoming a commodity through concepts, principles, and reference architectures that others in the team and beyond will build on and extend.
• Shape the evolution and stable delivery of our Enterprise Identity Platform (strategic focus: Zuber, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, PKCE, and beyond) and steer the phase-out of legacy solutions towards modern standards.
