Job description

LGT is the largest Private Banking and Asset Management group in the world to be owned by an entrepreneurial family. As the family office of the Princely House of Liechtenstein, we have years of experience in the management of sizeable sums of assets.

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to support, maintain and continuously improve the digital client portal and its connected services at LGT Wealth Management Australia.

This hands-on role combines Angular frontend engineering, production support and DevOps practices. You will own the portal’s technical lifecycle, support document flows across our Avaloq platforms and reduce technical debt through automation and testing.

If you enjoy solving production problems, improving digital experiences and making systems more resilient, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
