Senior Cloud Platform Engineer - SaaS

About

Are you a highly experienced Cloud Platform Engineer with a passion for shaping the backbone of modern SaaS platforms? Do you thrive in environments where innovation, automation and reliability are the hallmarks of successful delivery? If so, this is a fantastic opportunity to take a central engineering role in a forward-thinking technology organisation with global reach.

Our client, a growing international SaaS company expanding its operations, is seeking a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer to design, deploy, operate and optimise cloud infrastructure that supports mission-critical applications and services. Based in Bern with hybrid working (3-days in Offices & 2-days at home), you'll be part of a dynamic engineering team responsible for delivering secure, scalable and resilient cloud environments that underpin business performance and customer experience.

In this role, you will be instrumental in architecting and managing cloud platforms, with a strong focus on cloud infrastructure and container orchestration. You'll design, implement and operate Kubernetes clusters, build and refine automation workflows using Infrastructure as Code tools, and co-own the CI/CD pipelines that enable agile release and delivery processes. Partnering with development, security and operations teams, you'll define and embed cloud and container best practices that deliver speed without compromising resilience or compliance.

The ideal candidate will bring proven hands-on experience in cloud and DevOps engineering, including deep familiarity with cloud services (Azure experience is particularly valuable, though AWS/GCP background is also highly relevant). You'll have a solid understanding of Kubernetes platform management, microservices architectures and modern automation practices. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams are essential for success.

This is a rare chance to play a strategic and highly technical role building cloud solutions that power scalable, enterprise-class SaaS platforms - with the freedom to innovate and influence long-term technical direction.
