We are looking for a hands-on Messaging Platform Engineer to join our team in Zürich.

- Build automation, self-service capabilities and platform services
- Design and implement IBM MQ services in OpenShift and Azure
- Evaluate complementary messaging technologies
- Develop automation using APIs, CI/CD and infrastructure as code
- Troubleshoot production issues and participate in on-call rotation
What You Bring
- Enterprise messaging platform administration or engineering experience
- Production experience in OpenShift or public cloud environments
- Automation or software engineering skills in Java and Spring Boot
- Strong Linux, container, networking and security fundamentals
- Experience with CI/CD, observability and incident management
- Knowledge of Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform or cloud-native messaging

Questions about this listing
What salary does SIX Group offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Zürich is CHF 73'500 - 111'500 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by SIX Group. 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 SIX Group 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 SIX Group during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Zürich?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Zürich's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Zürich's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
