Full description
Do you want to build a greenfield AWS platform with AI agents doing much of the implementation? Are you excited about setting the technical direction, reviewing AI-generated output critically and taking ownership of what goes live? Every day, Swiss Post exchanges thousands of files with partners, customers and internal systems, and we're moving this backbone to AWS. With you we're building the new platform differently: one engineer, working with AI agents from day one. You're among the first at Swiss Post to work this way, and what you learn will shape how other teams build software.
How you make a difference
- You design and implement our cloud-based file transfer platform end to end on AWS Transfer Family, including SFTP, FTPS and AS2.
- In addition, you build the supporting components with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or CDK and AWS services such as Lambda, Step Functions, S3, SQS, EventBridge and DynamoDB.
- You automate partner onboarding, user and key management as well as our CI/CD pipelines.
- At the same time, you build security and compliance into the platform through IAM, encryption, security policies, auditing and logging.
- You ensure reliable operations through monitoring, alerting and structured troubleshooting and take ownership when things go wrong (on call).
- Furthermore, you use AI tooling to generate code, tests and documentation, critically review the results and decide what is ready to go live.
- You share your learnings with the team, help shape how we use AI in engineering and work closely with the Product Owner and platform specialists on architecture and the roadmap.
What you have to offer
- You have hands-on AWS experience, ideally with AWS Transfer Family or comparable file transfer services such as SFTP, FTPS or AS2.
- In addition, you have solid skills in Python, TypeScript or Java and experience with Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD.
- You have a strong foundation in infrastructure topics such as networking, security and Linux and can systematically identify root causes when things go wrong.
- Furthermore, you have hands-on experience using AI assistants in your day-to-day coding and can critically assess when to trust, challenge or improve their output.
- You take ownership of what you build, see things through to completion and are curious to learn about topics such as MFT products, event-driven architectures and Kafka.
- You have a very good spoken and written command of English and Knowledge of another national language is a plus.
You don't need to tick every box. If you have a strong cloud foundation and are curious about the rest, we'd be very happy to hear from you. We value potential, curiosity and the willingness to learn. Help us turn our company into the “Swiss Post of tomorrow”!
Questions about this listing
What salary does Swiss Post offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Bellinzona is CHF 49'500 - 75'000 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by Swiss Post. The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Swiss Post offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Swiss Post during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need the G permit to apply for this role in Ticino as an Italian cross-border worker?
Yes. For EU/EFTA citizens the G permit no longer depends on a border zone: you need residence in an EU/EFTA state, a Swiss contract and a return home at least once a week. The 20 km band matters for taxation, not for the permit. The Swiss employer files the G-permit application at the Ticino cantonal migration office after the contract is signed — first issuance takes 2-6 weeks. The permit lasts five years with an open-ended contract or one over a year, otherwise for the length of the contract.
How do I apply for this position at Swiss Post?
Use the "Apply now" button on this page — it links directly to Swiss Post's original listing at job.post.ch, so your application goes straight to the employer's own applicant-tracking system. Frontaliere Ticino does not collect or forward applications itself.
