The position:

Your responsibilities:

Development, Data & AI

• Develop and maintain applications, services and data pipelines for competitions, results and rankings. Investigate, test and verify solutions; document software, data formats and interfaces, share knowledge and resolve recurring issues.
• Use AI responsibly: review and test outputs, protect sensitive data and remain accountable for secure, maintainable solutions.
• Work with data: design databases, write queries and reports, and simulate competition, ranking, qualification and homologation scenarios.
• Automate workflows for staff and committees using Power Automate, Power Platform, scripts and Graph API.

Sport Projects & Committee Work

• Partner with sport experts on projects across FIS disciplines, translating operational needs into technical solutions.
• Contribute to committees and working groups with clear analyses, simulations and technical options for rulemaking and sport development.
• Support qualification and homologation for Olympic, Youth Olympic and Paralympic events where applicable.

Technical Support, Collaboration & Security

• Support staff, committees and partners: resolve computer, server and peripheral issues, communicate progress and administer Microsoft 365 for effective collaboration.
• Maintain data protection and IT security in line with FIS policies.
• Manage priorities: protect development focus, balance urgent needs and flag conflicting demands early.

Your profile:

Strong development and data foundations, independent problem-solving and reliable delivery are essential. Equivalent technologies are welcome; mastery of every tool listed is not required.

Education (preferred pathways)

Ideally an Informatiker/in EFZ or a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field. Substantial relevant experience may compensate for a different educational background.

• Solid programming foundation and ability to learn new languages and frameworks.
• Database design and SQL (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL); familiarity with JSON and XML.
• Git, continuous integration, collaborative development and automated build/deploy pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants and LLM-based workflows.
• Microsoft 365 administration; Linux servers and Windows desktop support; hardware, networks and troubleshooting.
• Docker, cloud platforms such as GCP, Infrastructure as Code, configuration management and deployment automation.
• Experience: at least 3 years in computer science / software development.
• Ownership & delivery: clarify needs, investigate causes and deliver tested solutions with follow-up. Prioritise by impact, make trade-offs clear and seek specialist input when needed.
• Sporting connection: participate in or actively follow a sport and understand its formats, rules and results. Be willing to learn FIS disciplines; prior knowledge is not required. Name your sports in your application.
• Communication: explain data and technical options to non-technical audiences. Committee experience is desirable, not essential.
• Languages: business fluency in English; German and other languages are advantages.
• Collaboration: curious, adaptable and willing to learn; constructive with colleagues and sport experts, composed under pressure and clear about progress and risks.
