Job description

At Swisscom Secure Vision, we’re shaping the future of physical security. As a leading Swiss provider of advanced video surveillance and intelligent integration solutions, we develop easyPSIM, our own Swiss-made software that connects diverse security systems into one smart platform. With easyPSIM, customers monitor and manage multiple sites simultaneously from a single dashboard that keeps their buildings, assets and people safe.

What You’ll Do

Join us as a Senior Software Engineer and take ownership of end-to-end development, from concept design to deployment. You’ll be part of a small, agile Scrum team of developers and a dedicated product owner, working in German and English. You’ll report to me as team lead and product manager with full P&L responsibility for easyPSIM.

You’ll be hands-on with:

• Designing, developing, testing and maintaining high-quality software
• Ensuring our platform is scalable, reliable and high-performing in production
• Reviewing code and mentoring peers through constructive feedback
• Improving our development workflows and DevOps practices
• Diagnosing and solving production issues quickly and effectively
• Contributing ideas across all stages of the development lifecycle
• Acting as Scrum Master for the team alongside your development work: facilitating Scrum events, removing impediments and helping the team continuously improve

What Makes This Role Interesting

easyPSIM sits at the heart of our customers’ security operations. It connects video systems, access control, alarms and other devices from many different vendors into one platform, and it has to work reliably around the clock. That means you’ll tackle problems you won’t find in a typical business application: integrating heterogeneous third-party systems, processing events in near real time, and running software across many sites where downtime is not an option. Your code directly helps operators protect buildings, assets and people.

Our platform is built on a modern Java/Spring Boot backend, containerized and orchestrated with Docker and Kubernetes, with automated CI/CD pipelines. You’ll work with event-driven architectures and integrations with a wide range of third-party security systems.

What You Bring

• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent, plus 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong skills in Java and Spring Boot; Python is a bonus
• Experience with Docker, ideally Kubernetes, and solid DevOps know-how
• Hands-on experience with Scrum and modern development tools; Scrum Master experience or certification (e.g. PSM I) is a plus
• Solid understanding of unit and integration testing
• A pragmatic, reliable working style and a drive for quality
• Fluent English and fluent German
• A clean criminal record. You must be willing to undergo a personal security screening (PSP), which we will initiate.

Why Join Us

• Work on products that make a real impact in security technology across Switzerland
• Be part of a supportive team that values autonomy, innovation, and trust
• Enjoy flexibility, modern tools, and an environment that encourages learning and growth
• Contribute to leading-edge software that connects safety, intelligence, and customer experience

Our Hiring Process

• We keep it short and personal. If your CV matches, I’ll give you a call directly. Next comes an interview via Microsoft Teams, followed by an in-person meeting with me and the team in Zurich.
