Description du poste

About us:

DeepJudge is Switzerland’s leading AI and ICT scale-up, transforming how law firms and legal departments access and leverages their knowledge. Founded by former Google search engineers with PhDs in AI from ETH Zurich, and backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors, we are building the intelligence layer that powers the legal industry.

Every firm can license the same AI models, but no two firms share the same institutional knowledge. Decades of experience, work product, and precedent are often trapped across systems, underused and inaccessible. DeepJudge makes this expertise instantly available through world‑class enterprise search and AI infrastructure, enabling firms to automate workflows, build knowledge‑powered applications, and turn experience into a lasting advantage.

Our technology is trusted by many of the world’s leading law firms, including Freshfields, Gunderson Dettmer, Holland & Knight, Arent Fox, and Cozen O’Connor. Headquartered in Switzerland with a growing team across North America, we are expanding rapidly and shaping the future of how professional knowledge is discovered and applied.

At DeepJudge, we move fast, think rigorously, and care deeply about what we build. We combine cutting‑edge research with close collaboration with our clients to deliver solutions that truly make an impact. If you want to be part of a team defining how AI transforms high‑stakes knowledge work, this is the place to do it.

About the role:

We are looking for a platform engineer / developer experience engineer to improve the systems that help our engineering team move quickly and safely.

This is a hands‑on role spanning build systems, CI, testing infrastructure, dependency and vulnerability management, and internal developer tooling. The engineer will combine operational ownership with deeper system improvement: keeping critical processes reliable while identifying and removing recurring sources of friction.

The ideal candidate has strong software engineering fundamentals, excellent debugging instincts, and a genuine interest in building tools and workflows for other engineers. They understand that an internal platform is a product: solutions must be reliable, ergonomic, well documented, and easy to adopt.

Candidates do not need prior ownership of every area in the role. We value broad engineering judgment, curiosity, and demonstrated interest in improving developer productivity over narrow specialization.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Owning and maintaining build systems, CI pipelines, testing infrastructure and internal tooling to keep engineering workflows reliable and efficient
• Helping and enabling other engineers by identifying recurring sources of friction and designing and implementing solutions to remove them
• Vulnerability and dependency management
• Reviewing code and contributing to a high standard of code quality and maintainability

You're a great fit if you:

• Have 4+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer or Developer Experience Engineer
• Are proficient in at least two of the following: build systems, continuous integration, testing, observability, dependency and vulnerability management, release workflows or internal tooling
• Are comfortable working with Python tooling and packaging, including dependency management and the broader Python developer ecosystem
• Have a genuine interest in building tools and processes that help other engineers move faster
• Have strong software engineering fundamentals and excellent debugging instincts
• Bring broad engineering judgment and curiosity
• (Nice to have) Experience with tooling, packaging, and dependency management in JavaScript, Rust, Go or other language ecosystems
• (Nice to have) Experience working with Kubernetes, including deploying services and debugging running workloads

What you can look forward to:

• Location: Office 5min walking distance from Zurich central station, where we primarily work on site
• Collaborative and supportive work environment
• Potential for professional growth and advancement within the company
• Ownership and ability to impact the company, product, and culture

At DeepJudge, we believe great teams are built on diverse perspectives and experiences. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and are committed to fostering an inclusive, high‑performance culture where everyone can thrive. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
