Job description

Gilytics is a Swiss geospatial SaaS startup behind Pathfinder, a platform that helps utilities and infrastructure companies plan, route, and permit critical infrastructure faster and more sustainably. We’re a small, remote-first team spread across Switzerland, Spain, and the Americas and we’re scaling fast, including into North America.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Junior DevOps / Cloud Engineer to support our System Engineer in keeping Pathfinder’s AWS infrastructure running smoothly and to grow into a genuine second pair of hands for our infrastructure team. If you want hands-on AWS experience with real ownership (and a clear path to grow), this is a great place to start.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Support configuration and deployment of our AWS cloud infrastructure
• Help manage vulnerabilities across our infrastructure and dependencies
• Monitor logs and alerts and elevate anomalies the right way
• Contribute to infrastructure testing, KPI tracking, and reporting
• Learn our systems and runbooks well enough to become a real backup for critical incidents

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
• Coursework in architecture/administration of information systems
• Practical experience in system administration and Linux

NICE TO HAVE

• Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Distributed Software Systems, or similar
• Courses/certifications in CI/CD, AWS, cybersecurity, infrastructure as code, or applied AI

HOW WE WORK / AI-NATIVE FROM DAY ONE

Every role at Gilytics is expected to actively use AI and automation tools from AI coding assistants to AI-powered documentation and support tooling to work smarter and move faster. You’ll be supported in adopting these tools from your very first week.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A real, high-impact role from day one you’ll work directly with leadership (CEO, CTO, GIS Data Lead) on a platform already trusted by major utilities and infrastructure clients
• An AI-native workplace, Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and other AI tools are built into how we work from day one, not bolted on later
• Remote-first, flexible-hours culture, core hours are 10:00–15:00 CET, with full flexibility outside that window; we trust people to manage their time as professionals
• A small, multicultural team spanning Spain, Switzerland, LATAM, and Canada, where your work is visible and your voice matters
• Structured onboarding with a clear 90-day plan, no sink-or-swim, no guessing what success looks like
• Learning & development support tied to your own competence plan, including certifications and AI tooling upskilling
• Company equipment provided (laptop and the tools you need to do your job well)
• Vacation entitlement and leave terms in line with applicable local labour law [confirm specifics with HR for your location]
• Compensation: competitive and benchmarked to role, experience, and location

GILYTICS VALUES ALIGNMENT

• Clients: Every decision we make must create measurable value for the people using Pathfinder. We earn trust through integrity, not just delivery
• Excellence: Good enough is not good enough. Every piece of work reflects our standards quality in a B2B SaaS product is not optional, it is the product.
• Humility: We ask questions, stay open to being wrong, and learn from errors. We update our views when we encounter better evidence.
• Innovation: We challenge the status quo and act without waiting. We anticipate, move ahead, and take initiative even when the path is not fully defined.
