Full-Stack Software Engineer – Cruise Memora Location

Lugano or Chiasso, Switzerland — final office location to be confirmed

To be agreed,, idealy september 2026

Workload:
Initially approximately 60% during the MVP takeover, deployment and stabilization phase, with a planned increase to 100% once the platform is fully operational. This initial phase is expected to take approximately four to six months, after which the position is expected to transition to full-time employment.

Cruise Travel Image SA is a Swiss-based company operating in the international cruise photography industry.

We provide cruise lines with onboard photography teams, equipment, creative products, technology and operational support across multiple vessels and cruise brands.

As part of our digital development, we are building Cruise Memora
, a web platform for creating, personalizing and managing digital and printed memory products connected to cruise, travel and hospitality experiences.

The platform includes a web frontend and backend, a relational database, object storage and integrations with external services such as authentication, payments and email. Its architecture is intended to remain portable across cloud and self-hosted environments.

The immediate priority is not greenfield development.

You will take over the Cruise Memora MVP currently being developed by an external university team as part of Phase 1. You will gain a full understanding of the platform and assume end-to-end technical ownership after delivery.

This includes the codebase, database, infrastructure, environments, deployment process, access credentials, technical documentation, maintenance and future development.

During the handover, you will work directly with the external development team to:

• Review the system architecture and codebase.
• Validate the technical deliverables.
• Ensure the complete transfer of technical knowledge, documentation, credentials and system access.
• Identify bugs, limitations and critical issues requiring resolution.

The initial phase will continue until the technical takeover has been completed and the MVP has been successfully deployed, validated and confirmed to be fully operational according to the agreed requirements.

Once the MVP has been transferred and stabilized, you will maintain and modify the existing codebase and progressively design, develop, test and deploy selected Phase 2 features.

If future developments require advanced, experimental or highly specialized expertise, the external university team or other technical partners may support CTI again. You will remain CTI’s internal technical owner and coordinate the integration, testing, deployment and ongoing maintenance of the resulting solutions.

• Review and understand the existing architecture, codebase, database, infrastructure and deployment setup.
• Manage the technical handover of source code, documentation, credentials, environments and operational procedures.
• Identify, reproduce, document and track bugs, limitations and critical issues.
• Maintain and extend the existing codebase through bug fixes, updates and incremental improvements.
• Manage deployments, environments, access controls, backups and basic application security.
• Support internal users and maintain clear technical and operational documentation.
• Design, develop, test and deploy selected Phase 2 features after MVP stabilization.
• Coordinate technical work delivered with external development partners when specialist support is required.
• Act as CTI’s internal technical owner for Cruise Memora.

Following the successful handover and stabilization of the MVP, you will progressively design, develop, test and deploy selected Phase 2 features according to CTI’s priorities and the agreed workload.

These may include developments related to:

• Campaign and customer-data management.
• Data imports and personalized project access.
• Template and content-management tools.
• Email and communication integrations.
• Analytics, reporting and operational dashboards.
• B2B, B2C and white-label functionality.
• Authorized third-party API and system integrations.
