Software Engineer

Kamuno’s goal is to revolutionize Small- and Medium Enterprise (SME) financing: we are building a truly data-driven, AI-focused ecosystem for the Swiss SMEs.

We are seeking a highly capable and hands-on Software Engineer to participate in designing, building and managing and maintaining complex, holistic software systems. You will work on production-grade cloud infrastructure, data models, application backend and frontend software, as well as on complex data integration and data processing pipelines.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape and support the core technology foundations of a fast-moving fintech, working directly with the CTO and leadership team.

The Kamuno Team brings a wealth of experience and passion and understands the challenges faced by Swiss SMEs. Kamuno AG is in a unique situation: as an independent subsidiary of Urner Kantonalbank we have stable financial backing and as a startup we have huge freedom in our decisions. Our modern offices are in the heart of Central Switzerland (Altdorf, UR). We believe in hybrid working models.

Kamuno’s business is growing dynamically: our platforms, technologies and data must be continuously updated as we introduce new lines of business. At the same time our existing products and services need to be maintained and enhanced to underpin our business.
