Job Description

Shape the future of Cloud at Swiss Re

Are you excited by building cloud platforms that hundreds of engineering teams rely on? Do you want your work to set standards, accelerate innovation, and enable secure, scalable cloud adoption at enterprise scale?

At Swiss Re, we are on a bold Public Cloud transformation journey—leveraging world‑class cloud services to help make the world more resilient. We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer to join our Public Cloud Engineering team, where your work directly enables application teams across the company to adopt public cloud securely, efficiently, and at speed

This is not an operations role. This is platform‑level engineering with real impact: designing reusable cloud building blocks, shaping engineering standards, and helping teams succeed in the cloud.

If you enjoy combining hands‑on engineering, architecture thinking, and developer enablement—you’ll feel right at home here.

About the role

As part of our Public Cloud Engineering team, you’ll:

• Design and evolve reusable cloud foundations
  Build and maintain high‑quality Terraform‑based infrastructure templates that enable application teams to deploy cloud infrastructure securely and compliantly—without slowing them down.
• Enable modern delivery through automation
  Create and improve Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines (YAML) aligned with Swiss Re’s DevSecOps standards, making cloud delivery repeatable and scalable.
• Show what “good” looks like
  Maintain a curated set of end‑to‑end, real‑world examples demonstrating layered IaC, best practices, and production‑ready cloud solutions.
• Influence the platform roadmap
  Evaluate new cloud services, run proofs of concept, and partner with Cloud Platform and Cloud Security teams to turn new capabilities into shared services.
• Support real application modernization
  Work directly with application teams to help redesign, modernize, and migrate workloads—contributing hands‑on engineering expertise when it matters most.
• Shape cloud architecture decisions
  Participate in the Cloud Architecture Forum, presenting technical topics, influencing architecture directions, and documenting engineering decisions that scale.

About the team

You’ll join a high‑performing, global team of Cloud Engineers who are recognized experts in public cloud and Infrastructure as Code. We act as enablers, not gatekeepers—focused on developer experience, quality engineering, and shared success across Swiss Re.

We work with modern cloud services, encourage experimentation, and continuously invest in our own learning. Our goal is to create a cloud platform that engineers enjoy using—and that the business can trust.

About you

We’d be happy to meet you if you have:

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in cloud engineering, software engineering, or architecture
• Strong experience with Azure and cloud‑native architectures, with curiosity to explore new services
• Proven hands‑on skills in Terraform, Azure DevOps, and modern CI/CD practices
• Experience with containers (Docker) and platforms such as Kubernetes, PaaS, or serverless
• A solid understanding of cloud security, including network and application security and Azure Policies
• A passion for building reusable, high‑quality engineering solutions used by other teams
• Clear and confident communication skills, with the ability to guide and influence engineers
• A collaborative mindset and comfort working in complex, transformational environments
• Fluent English

Why Swiss Re?

• Real impact at scale – your work empowers hundreds of engineering teams
• Strong engineering culture – quality, automation, and modern practices matter here
• Growth & learning – exposure to cutting‑edge cloud services and enterprise‑scale challenges
• Purpose‑driven work – helping Swiss Re make the world more resilient
