Database Engineer (m/f)

About the job

Schwarz und Wyss - our favourite colours since 1899. Simple. Elegant. Straightforward. As an employer, however, we are refreshingly colourful, diverse and varied. And sometimes quite different from what you might think. Like here in the job advertisement. Because who actually says that women are simply included in male texts? Because we want even more female power at BKB, we simply turn the tables and write in the female form. Men? Of course, you are still very welcome. Would you like to learn more about who we are and how we tick? Gladly .
