Senior Software Engineering Platform Engineer – Spec-Driven Development

Shape the next generation of software development

For a leading Swiss financial services provider, we are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineering Platform Engineer – Spec-Driven Development.

At the heart of the role is not the operation of a single tool, but the building of a modern engineering platform and way of working: requirements and specifications are to be structured, versioned and made technically usable in such a way that, supported by modern AI and engineering tools, code, tests and other software artifacts can be created as efficiently as possible.

Today, requirements are managed in Polarion ALM, among other tools. In the future, this should gradually evolve into a continuous, Spec-Driven Engineering toolchain – from requirement and specification through implementation and testing to deployment and traceability.

In this role, you will work with numerous delivery teams, architects, business analysts and other engineering roles, and actively help shape how modern software development will work in the company in the future.

• You will design the build-out of a modern Spec-Driven Development platform and further develop the associated engineering toolchain.

• You will develop concepts and technical solutions to convert existing requirements from classic requirements management systems into structured, versionable and machine-readable specifications.

• You will connect requirements, specifications, architecture guidelines, code, tests and deployment into a engineering process that is as continuous as possible.

• You will develop integrations, automations and platform components along the software delivery lifecycle.

• You will evaluate and integrate modern AI-supported engineering tools and coding agents into existing development processes.

• You will develop prototypes and reference implementations, particularly in the environment of Java and Spring Boot.

• You will design standards and best practices for specifications, APIs, testing, software quality and developer experience.

• You will work on comprehensible end-to-end traceability from requirement to productive use.

• You will support delivery teams in integrating Spec-Driven Development and AI-supported engineering practices into their daily work.

• You will actively contribute to architecture, tooling and technology decisions and help to develop robust enterprise solutions from initial prototypes.

• Several years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineer, Tech Lead, Software Architect or in a comparable technical role.

• Very good technical understanding of modern software architectures.

• Solid practical experience with Java and Spring Boot.

• Good knowledge in the areas of REST APIs, testing, Git, CI/CD and software delivery.

• Experience building engineering toolchains, developer platforms, automations or comparable platform solutions.

• Understanding of requirements engineering, software architecture and the connection between specification, implementation and testing.

• Interest in or practical experience with AI-assisted software engineering, coding agents and modern developer tools.

• Experience with enterprise landscapes and business-critical applications.

• Experience with requirements management or ALM systems such as Polarion is an advantage, but not a prerequisite.

• High quality awareness, analytical thinking and enjoyment of putting new engineering approaches into practice.

• Good German and English skills.
  

• Administrative conditions:

• ASAP, 80-100%

• Very good German skills

• 60% - 80% remote, 1-2 days on site

• Working outside Switzerland is not permitted
