Senior Software Engineer

About Us

As a leading Swiss e-commerce platform, with a team of over 3,500 employees in Switzerland, Germany, and Serbia, we are on our way into new markets. Our engine for this is the desire to constantly rethink what exists. That's why we are looking for people who work with passion to make things truly better. With us, you will find the freedom and trust to act independently, grow with us, and be yourself. Act galactic. And stay you.

You will start as a Senior Software Engineer as part of Team Dr. No and work your way into the domains around People & Culture and Financial Reporting (focus on payroll). Step by step, you will take on more professional responsibility. After the onboarding period, there is the possibility to take over the team lead for a small new team and transfer the two product groups there. The task is very exciting, but also challenging, as you will work in cross-functional product groups where Data Engineering aspects play an important role alongside classic software development.

Does this challenge appeal to you? Then become part of our team and actively shape the digital future of Galaxus!
