Recruitment NDB / SRC / SIC / FIS

Together for the security of Switzerland!

The NDB deals with the early detection and combating of terrorism, violent extremism, espionage, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery technology as well as cyber attacks on critical infrastructures. In addition, the NDB procures important information on security policy and evaluates it. In this way, it makes decisive contributions to the comprehensive threat assessment.

At the federal level, the NDB primarily serves the Federal Council, the departments and the military leadership with its products. It also supports the cantons in maintaining internal security and the law enforcement authorities at federal level.

Women and people from the French and Italian linguistic communities are still underrepresented in our administrative unit. Your applications are therefore particularly welcome.
