Overview

I assist MDs, CTOs, Development Managers, business leaders and recruitment managers in finding the best Microsoft professionals for their businesses…

Key skills: Linux System Engineering, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD Automation, Git Ops, Observability, Cloud-Native Platforms, Linux Administration (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS), Service Discovery, Load Balancing, Helm / ArgoCD, Monitoring & Logging Tools, Platform Reliability, Technical Problem Solving

Are you excited by building and operating resilient, cloud-native infrastructure where you get both freedom and responsibility to influence the technology stack? Are you someone who thrives on maintaining mission-critical systems, improving observability, and working with Kubernetes and containerised platforms? If so, this is an excellent opportunity to join a SaaS infrastructure team with real impact.

Our client, an international SaaS company expanding its European platform capabilities, is recruiting a Linux Engineer to strengthen their infrastructure engineering team. You will contribute to designing, operating and optimising containerised platforms, automating deployments, ensuring high availability, and empowering the product teams with robust infrastructure services.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for architecting, deploying and running Kubernetes-based environments and responsible for the full lifecycle of these platforms—from designing architecture through to day-to-day operations. You will operate and evolve managed services in areas like web hosting, application services, email delivery, ensuring performance, stability, and secure configuration. You’ll also drive CI/CD pipeline automation, introduce Git Ops practices (Helm, ArgoCD), and ensure observability using tools like Prometheus and Grafana.

You’ll take ownership for resolving complex incidents, engaging with stakeholders when issues arise, and working closely with internal teams to deliver feature enhancements and system improvements.

You should have substantial experience working in Linux administration (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS) and be comfortable with container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. Experience with service discovery, load balancing, observability tooling (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana), and Git Ops workflows will be expected. A methodical mindset, strong analytical skills, ability to remain calm under pressure, and effective communication will be critical. This role will also benefit from prior experience in SaaS or platform environments where uptime, security, and scalability are key.

Applicants must have the right to work in Switzerland.

Hybrid working is supported, allowing you to balance on-site collaboration with remote work.
