Platform Architect with Architecture Build & Delivery Platform (76079)

Task

We are looking for an experienced platform architect for one of our clients! The ART (Agile Release Train) capacity control is responsible for the development, operation and training of products in the field of automation of operational railway operations. More than 10,000 trains run daily on the Swiss rail network, which are automatically controlled, monitored and optimised with our products. In this complex and highly exciting environment, the existing rail-critical products are further developed to optimise and automate rail transport even more. With 10 agile

teams, the product range of capacity control is managed end-to-end from conception to operation together with the business. This is in the tension field of highly available and rail-critical systems as well as their future-oriented further development. All this without affecting operations, so that the top priority "Rail under control" can be sustainably ensured. Many exciting challenges await us in a very rail production-related environment. The application landscape around rail production is being modularised and technically modernised. The platform team is responsible for the build & CI environment as well as the delivery pipeline for Spring Boot applications on OpenShift and continuously develops the established target platform and its delivery processes. For this role, we are looking for an experienced platform architect who has already designed and further developed platforms for several teams and can take on architectural responsibility for our build, CI/CD and delivery landscape. Experience with shared platforms and cross-cutting standards and solutions is crucial. The role combines architectural responsibility with active technical collaboration. You develop target images and concepts, make and moderate architectural decisions and work on implementation yourself at the same time. You design, implement, test and improve platform functions, build and CI tooling, pipelines and automations. You are close to the code and the technical challenges of the team. You shape the technical roadmap and work closely with PO, ART, development teams, operations, security and architecture stakeholders.
 

Requirements

• Platform engineering, DevOps or CI/CD, with several years in the architecture of platform, integration or delivery landscapes in complex productive environments. Proof must include experience with a shared platform or delivery landscape used by multiple teams or applications.
• Current practical engineering experience and willingness to write code yourself and implement technical solutions in the platform.
• You have gained experience with AI-supported software development and have made it a habit to automate tasks where possible and sensible.
• Confident appearance as well as target group-oriented communication and presentation skills in German with common business English, including conveying complex content to a larger audience.
• Knowledge of OpenShift/Kubernetes, container technologies, GitOps, Argo CD, Helm or infrastructure as code.
• Experience with Java, Python, Go or a comparable programming language.
• Experience with monitoring, telemetry and observability, e.g. Splunk, Grafana or Prometheus.
• Experience with highly available, operationally critical or security-relevant applications.
• Experience as Lead Architect, Solution Architect, Platform Architect or Technical Lead in a complex system landscape.
  Important! If not ALL requirements are met, unfortunately an application makes no sense!
