DevOps Engineer – Applied GenAI and Software Engineering

Join the Swisscom Operations Co‑Pilot Team and help us improve how operational teams run and support Swisscom’s services.
We focus on integrating AI and GenAI into incident, change, and problem management processes to reduce repetitive work and give engineers better context when troubleshooting.

What impact will you have?

Our product serves as a central hub between multiple internal ticketing and communication systems, both in-house and vendor solutions, as well as various inventory stores and internal knowledge sources. Our goal is to bring these data points together and use generative AI to provide engineers with clearer insights, faster root‑cause investigations, and support for creating accurate documentation and communication updates.

The system is currently lightweight, but we’re expanding its scope. Over the next months, we’ll be working on:

• Agent‑style workflows that can automate parts of operational processes while keeping engineers in control.

• Persistent data layers that allow us to utilize past knowledge and make information reusable across teams and tools.

We’re looking for people with experience in backend development or in building data and streaming pipelines, who enjoy working with distributed systems and integrating data from many different sources across Swisscom.

Must-haves:

• Strong Python Development: Proven experience in building and maintaining backend systems using Python, including data integration and automation workflows.

• Experience with multiple backend programming languages: Familiarity with additional backend languages to support broader system integration (Java, Go, Rust, Scala).

• Container and Cloud Infrastructure: Practical know-how in Kubernetes and container orchestration; confident working in cloud environments (preferably AWS).

• Distributed Systems and Data Streaming: Solid understanding of distributed system architectures and experience with tools like Kafka, Spark, or Flink.

• API Design and Integration: Ability to design, implement, and maintain RESTful APIs connecting multiple internal systems and data sources.

Nice to Haves:

• GenAI and AI Application: Interest or experience in using generative AI / AI-driven workflows to optimize operations and incident management.

• Knowledge of ITSM Tools: Exposure to ticketing systems, or other operational management systems.

• Cloud Data Persistence: Understanding of building persistent data layers and reusable knowledge bases in a cloud environment.

• DevOps Collaboration: Comfort working closely with operational engineers and cross-functional teams to improve automation and troubleshooting efficiency.
