About the job

Career and work-life balance in a leading cyber security company in Zurich

We want to offer our employees not just a place to work, but a reason. With us, personal development, knowledge building and work-life balance are highly valued.

A field of work with a future

IT security is one of the most important future topics of our time. Increasing digitalisation, new technologies and a constantly growing threat landscape ensure that innovative companies and committed employees are in greater demand than ever.

As one of the leading IT security providers in Switzerland, we offer exciting career opportunities in various areas. Whether engineering, sales, marketing, administration or finance – at AVANTEC, people with diverse talents work together towards one goal: strengthening the digital security of our customers.

A team with experience

AVANTEC has always been known for the best security engineering in the Swiss market. We have earned this reputation over many years through our conscientious and outstanding work. But not only in the engineering sector do we set the highest standards; every area is fully customer-oriented and aims to serve them in the best possible way. To achieve this high goal, we can draw on a broad wealth of experience. 40% of our employees have been with AVANTEC for over 10 years. The average length of service is 6.7 years. With us, you learn from the best and from a wealth of experience that is unmatched in the Swiss market.

A workplace with charm

Our offices are centrally located in the Steinfels area in the heart of Zurich and are easily accessible by public transport as well as by bike. The spacious and bright premises at Heinrichstrasse 267 offer modern workspaces, several meeting rooms, a large presentation room and various retreats for focused work and creative collaboration.

We often spend lunch breaks together in our modern kitchen lounge including table football or in one of the numerous restaurants and takeaways nearby. Those who wish can end the week on Thursday evening with a joint aperitif in our lounge.

We place great value on a collegial working environment, exchange across team boundaries and a balanced work-life balance. This open and appreciative corporate culture creates the foundation for successful collaboration, personal development and shared successes.

What sets us apart

Our corporate culture is not only appreciated by our employees but is also regularly recognised. For the fourth time in a row, we have been awarded Top Company on kununu and thus belong to around five percent of the most popular employers.

Additionally, we have been certified as a Great Place to Work®. A special milestone followed in 2026: AVANTEC achieved 2nd place at the Best Workplaces™ Switzerland in the "Small" category (50–99 employees). This award is based on feedback from our employees and confirms our daily commitment to a trusting, appreciative and modern working culture.

A career with work-life balance

At AVANTEC, every employee enjoys 6 weeks of holiday and a 40-hour week. We want every employee to be able to fulfil themselves privately as well – whether through a hobby, further education or family. Therefore, it is important to us to provide sufficient time for this.

Additionally, we offer the possibility to work part-time, which many employees take advantage of. This leads to a very appreciative and balanced working atmosphere. We support each other, are fully focused on the task at hand and know that our contribution is valued.
