Backend Product Engineer

Summarizing the way Mobility works in one word? Nearly impossible. Let’s use four instead:
MORK means “more than just work.” As pioneers in car sharing, we have a long history of driving change and shaping the future of mobility in Switzerland. Sustainability, innovation, and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do. We embrace challenges, support one another, and create an environment where everyone can make a meaningful impact.

To support the growth of our digital platform, we are looking for a Backend Product Engineer to join our headquarters in Rotkreuz and help us build the technology powering one of Switzerland’s leading mobility services.
