About the job

SUISA makes music possible

SUISA is the cooperative of authors and publishers of music. Over 43,000 composers, lyricists and music publishers are organised in the company founded in 1923. SUISA enables music to be used publicly and ensures that music creators are fairly paid for this use. With sister companies worldwide, it represents the rights of a total of two million authors and publishers. SUISA employs over 220 staff at locations in Zurich, Lausanne and Lugano.

Our IT team of around 40 specialists ensures a modern, high-performance system landscape that is continuously developed further. Our applications are based on an integration platform with Red Hat Fuse and Spring Boot, orchestrated by Camunda. We implement the complex frontends with React. Central applications are already successfully in use and there is plenty of scope for design: new specialist applications are developed, existing systems optimised and innovative solutions realised. Music creators deserve fair remuneration for their works. To ensure this works reliably, we rely on modern IT solutions. 

These activities inspire you

• Your code makes music licensing more efficient
  You develop applications with Java and current frameworks such as Hibernate, JPA and Spring.
• You are involved from the idea to implementation
  You accompany applications through the entire development process. Your technical understanding helps to transform requirements into well-thought-out digital solutions.
• You recognise what is needed and implement it technically
  Together with the requirements engineers, you analyse the requirements from the specialist departments, assess the technical feasibility and develop solutions that integrate seamlessly into our existing system landscape.
• You see technical challenges as an opportunity for optimisation
  You analyse problems, develop technical specifications and ensure that every solution is sustainable in the long term.
• You create a solid foundation for future developments
  To ensure improvements remain comprehensible in the long term, you document technical decisions clearly and understandably. Your knowledge helps the entire team to develop existing solutions efficiently.
• The best solutions arise in the team
  You work with a great deal of personal responsibility in an agile environment where existing solutions are questioned and further developed. The exchange with your colleagues, project managers and your supervisor is characterised by openness and the common goal of creating technically sound applications.

This is what sets you apart

• A completed education (university or university of applied sciences) in computer science or a comparable qualification helps you to develop complex software solutions.
• You have at least 5 years of professional experience in object-oriented software development with Java
• You have sound knowledge of current Java frameworks such as Hibernate, JPA and Spring
• Modern integration technologies such as Red Hat Fuse, Apache Camel or Kafka are familiar to you
• A confident handling of common internet technologies such as HTML and CSS helps you to develop modern user interfaces.
• You have experience with frontend technologies, preferably React
• You are familiar with relational database systems (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, etc.)
• If you have already worked with OpenShift or Kubernetes, that is an advantage; if not, you are willing to learn.
• In our team, managers also actively participate. This creates direct, professional collaboration on an equal footing. You enjoy questioning existing solutions, contributing alternative approaches and shaping professional discussions.
• You work independently, think analytically and enjoy developing solutions together with others.
• Good German language skills in spoken and written form are required so that you can communicate clearly with the team and the specialist departments.
