We’re SwissBorg, a fintech startup headquartered in Switzerland. 

Our flagship product, the SwissBorg app, offers over 450,000+ users the best price and liquidity across 15 fiat and 12 cryptos, as well as giving them the opportunity to earn passive income with our new Smart Yield account. And the community is growing fast, with over $1 billion in assets under management, weekly volume of over 250 million, and over 20,000 Premium users.

But that’s just the start in our mission to democratise wealth management by building products that allow individuals to manage their crypto assets at a touch of a finger. Whether you’re in Andorra or Zimbabwe, and whether your portfolio is worth one dollar or a million, SwissBorg gives you the best tools to learn about digital currencies and manage your wealth.

And this is where you come in...

We have ambitious plans to keep growing and are now looking for an Intermediate Site Reliability Engineer to join our SRE team to ensure the stability and scalability of our platform.

We act as responsible owners and we are hoping that the right person shares this belief and wants to take pride in the stability and scalability of our platform and wants to own the SRE function at SwissBorg.  We are growing quickly and there is scope for the person coming into this role to progress towards a Senior position and continue to scale the SRE team.

The Engineering team at SwissBorg operates with a strong DevOps culture, meaning you will be working collaboratively with development teams to ensure projects are efficiently developed, integrated and deployed. We believe a healthy work-life balance within our teams will enable everyone to do their best work. However, due to the mission-critical nature of this role, there is a real possibility of a 3 am emergency call if we experience an unexpected outage. As a team, we will do everything to avoid such a situation from happening and plan accordingly for the work.
