Application process

- We sit close to real business problems and have the freedom to prototype and ship quickly.
- AI is already part of our daily workflow, and we expect that role to keep expanding.
- We care about building things well, shipping systems that create leverage, and continuously improving how engineering work gets done.
- We appreciate people who combine strong engineering judgment with pragmatism, curiosity, and a deep interest in how AI is changing software development itself. What You’ll Do

Questions about this listing
What salary does Duferco offer for this role?
Duferco lists CHF 68'000 - 103'000 gross per year for this position in Lugano. This is the salary published in the original listing (or, when the employer omits a figure, a realistic estimate for the role and sector) — the calculator on this site converts it to 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 Duferco 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 Duferco 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, if you are resident in Italy within the 20 km border zone. 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, then automatic yearly renewal for as long as the employment continues. Weekly return to your Italian home is required to keep the status. Note: this listing allows remote work — teleworking above 25 % of your time can shift your social-security base to Italy, so confirm the agreed remote share with HR before signing.
