The posting

Senior Kafka Platform Engineer

Zurich Area (Hybrid) | Permanent | Full-time (100%)

Are you passionate about event-driven architecture and building high-performance integration platforms that power mission-critical systems?

Were looking for a Senior Kafka Platform Engineer to take technical ownership of a modern platform and help shape the future of large-scale system integration.

This is a hands-on senior role with real architectural influence, working at the heart of a complex, high-availability environment.

What youll be working on

  • Leading the design, implementation, operation & continuous optimisation of event streaming (Kafka) and API management platforms
  • Driving the transition towards a robust event-driven architecture
  • Rolling out a central Kafka platform used across multiple business-critical domains
  • Ensuring scalability, reliability, monitoring and performance of middleware solutions
  • Acting as a technical authority for application integration using messaging & APIs
  • Collaborating closely with internal engineering teams, business stakeholders, and external partners
  • Participating in on-call rotation for platform reliability and operations

What you bring

  • University degree (FH or higher) in Computer Science, Business Informatics, or equivalent experience
  • Strong, proven background in designing and operating highly available, high-performance platforms
  • Deep hands-on experience with Kafka / event streaming
  • Experience with API management and integration patterns
  • A mindset that goes beyond implementation — you enjoy driving change and technical evolution
  • Excellent German and fluent business English
  • Open, collaborative personality with strong communication skills

Whats in it for you

  • Flexible working hours & hybrid setup (remote + on-site)
  • 5 weeks of vacation, with options to purchase additional days or take unpaid leave
  • Public transport support (local pass / contribution options)
  • Discounts on food & shopping on site
  • Free sports & wellness programs (from boot camp to yoga) + discounted gym membership
  • Strong learning & development support (training budget, internal academy, seminars)
  • Regular team events & long-term recognition
  • A down-to-earth, first-name culture with short decision paths
  • A unique working environment with dynamic surroundings and modern infrastructure

Why this role?

This is a rare opportunity to:

  • Own and shape a core integration platform
  • Work on large-scale, real-world systems
  • Have architectural influence, not just delivery responsibility
  • Join a stable, forward-thinking engineering environment with long-term vision

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.
