The posting

Company Description ##

At Swissquote, we-re all in. All in to shake things up. All in to build the bank people actually want to use. All in to make finance less boring - and a lot more powerful.

We-re Switzerland-s leading digital bank - 1,500+ people across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, building real financial solutions for over a million clients worldwide. From trading and investing to everyday banking, we cover the full picture. We move fast, but we build things we-re genuinely proud of. Have a look behind the scenes by checking Humans of Swissquote on Instagram.

Growing fast creates room. Room to try things, own things, and grow at a pace most places can-t offer. Whether you like the spotlight or prefer to just put your head down and do great work, there-s space for both here.

We-ve ditched the dress code - but never the chance to celebrate. Big win or small, we make it count. The kind of place where the atmosphere takes care of itself.

As an equal opportunity employer, we welcome candidates from all backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to join our team and contribute to our shared success.

Feeling it? It-s a good start. Apply.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
