Who Are We?

Let me introduce us. You’re reading about Zurich Insurance Group, a global leader in insurance, but this role specifically pertains to our Technology Delivery Center (TDC). Established in Barcelona in 2006, the TDC operates as an integral part of Zurich Insurance Group, providing cutting‑edge technological solutions and support to Zurich's local and global business units.

In essence, Zurich TDC is where technology meets the vast reach of a multinational company. We specialize in areas such as software development, data analytics, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure. Our primary mission is to support Zurich's strategic goals and enhance operational efficiency through innovative technology solutions.

If you're considering a role with us, know that you'll be joining a hub of technological excellence dedicated to driving Zurich's success on a global scale.

What Can You Expect?

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to help build, operate, and improve the internal platform services that our teams rely on every day. You will work on the foundation layer: the tooling, automation, and infrastructure that make it easier for others to deliver their own products safely and efficiently. This is a hands‑on engineering role. You will spend most of your time designing and automating backend processes, improving reliability, and removing manual work from the way the platform is run. And you might be thinking: This is great, what will my day‑to‑day be like, at TDC? I’m glad you asked.

As a Senior Platform Engineer you will have the opportunity to:

Design, build, and maintain platform services and the automation around them
Develop backend automations that replace manual, repetitive operational tasks
Improve deployment, provisioning, and configuration processes so they are repeatable and self‑service
Monitor platform health and contribute to reliability, performance, and cost improvements
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to understand their needs and translate them into platform capabilities
Document what you build so others can use and extend it
Work alongside experts in various technological domains.
Enhance your skills with real‑world experience
Contribute to a team that values your input and creativity

What Makes You a Great Fit?

Solid engineering fundamentals: you can reason about systems, not just configure tools
Practical experience automating backend processes end to end, from design to production
Comfort working in cloud environments and with infrastructure managed as code
Ability to write clean, maintainable scripts and services in at least one general‑purpose language
A pragmatic mindset: you prefer simple, robust solutions over clever ones
Clear communication and the ability to work across teams
Fluent English and Spanish
Nice to have
Experience supporting internal platforms used by multiple teams
Exposure to data‑intensive or regulated environments
Experience improving developer or user self‑service experiences

How we assess

We care about how you think and work, not how well your CV matches a keyword list. The selection process includes a practical exercise where you will walk us through a real automation or platform problem you have solved.

And… What Makes Us Special?

As well as a competitive salary and a yearly bonus, we offer:

To support your work‑life balance, we have adopted a flexible working model.
Option to work abroad up to 25 days yearly.
Over 300 euros to set up your home office and additional monthly home office allowance.
Wide range of internal and external trainings, including English, German and Spanish classes depending on the needs.
Ticket restaurant and Health Insurance with the flexibility to exchange it for other benefits.
Life and accident insurance.
Collective Life retirement Plan
2000 referral bonus if you bring other talented people like you to the company.
Special banking and insurance conditions plus Exclusive Employees discounts
Functional diversity benefits
Stock options and mortgage benefits.
