Linux Engineer – Zurich, Switzerland/ Hybrid
(Key skills: Linux System Engineering, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD Automation, GitOps, Observability, Cloud-Native Platforms, Linux Administration (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS), Service Discovery, Load Balancing, Helm / ArgoCD, Monitoring & Logging Tools, Platform Reliability, Technical Problem Solving)
Are you excited by building and operating resilient, cloud-native infrastructure where you get both freedom and responsibility to influence the technology stack? Are you someone who thrives on maintaining mission-critical systems, improving observability, and working with Kubernetes and containerised platforms? If so, this is an excellent opportunity to join a SaaS infrastructure team with real impact.
Our client, an international SaaS company expanding its European platform capabilities, is recruiting a Linux Engineer to strengthen their infrastructure engineering team. You will contribute to designing, operating and optimising containerised platforms, automating deployments, ensuring high availability, and empowering the product teams with robust infrastructure services.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for architecting, deploying and running Kubernetes-based environments and responsible for the full lifecycle of these platforms—from designing architecture through to day-to-day operations. You will operate and evolve managed services in areas like web hosting, application services, email delivery, ensuring performance, stability, and secure configuration. You’ll also drive CI/CD pipeline automation, introduce GitOps practices (Helm, ArgoCD), and ensure observability using tools like Prometheus and Grafana. You’ll take ownership for resolving complex incidents, engaging with stakeholders when issues arise, and working closely with internal teams to deliver feature enhancements and system improvements.
You should have substantial experience working in Linux administration (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS) and be comfortable with container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. Experience with service discovery, load balancing, observability tooling (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana), and GitOps workflows will be expected. A methodical mindset, strong analytical skills, ability to remain calm under pressure, and effective communication will be critical. This role will also benefit from prior experience in SaaS or platform environments where uptime, security, and scalability are key.
You’ll be joining a forward-thinking, infrastructure-driven business with a culture that values continuous learning, technical craftsmanship, and scalability. You’ll have the freedom to evaluate new technologies, suggest improvements, and shape how the platform evolves. Hybrid working is supported, allowing you to balance on-site collaboration with remote work.
