IT Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer, you design, develop, and operate scalable, high-quality solutions using modern frameworks and cloud technologies. This is a mid-level engineering role: you take ownership of features and components end-to-end, contribute actively to design discussions, and work hands-on across AWS, Infrastructure-as-Code, automation, backend services, and platform APIs. You grow your technical depth while supporting the team's interns and junior engineers.

What You'll Do

Development & Technical Ownership

• Perform full-stack development across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and operations — including the design, development, testing, configuration, and deployment of technical products within your application or platform domain.
• Take end-to-end ownership of features and components: design, build, test, deploy, and operate them to solve technical challenges with growing autonomy.
• Identify and help address technical debt and operational risks proactively.
• Contribute to technical improvements and solution concepts early in the development process.

Quality, Security & Engineering Excellence

• Uphold coding and application security standards, applying secure coding, testing, observability, and clear documentation.
• Continuously enhance components, processes, and the CI/CD toolchain to align with industry best practices across multiple programming languages.
• Participate in code reviews and refactoring to maintain high-quality, maintainable code.
• Optimize system performance, reliability, and scalability through robust design and reliability engineering concepts.
• Execute controlled deployments, including rollback planning and validation, and provide advanced technical support.

Collaboration, Teamwork & Mentoring

• Collaborate closely with the Scrum Team — Developers, Product Owner, and Scrum Master — through all Scrum events to deliver high-quality, potentially shippable product increments.
• Working alongside software engineers, architects, and other platform engineers, fostering shared ownership and agile ways of working.
• Mentor and guide interns and junior software engineers, supporting their technical growth and professional development.
• Demonstrate strong proactiveness, effective communication, and collaborative teamwork.

Modern Ways of Working

• Leverage modern technologies, including AI in the software development lifecycle, to improve efficiency, maintainability, and scalability.
• Promote best practices and continuous process improvement within the team.

What You’ll Bring

You don't need to cover every point from day one. What matters most is your growth mindset, technical curiosity, and passion for modern cloud engineering.

Must-have

• A Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
• Around 3+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer or in a similar role, with hands-on software development and operations experience in a cloud environment.
• Hands-on experience with one or more programming languages (Java & Spring Boot preferred) and scripting languages.
• Practical experience with several of the following: microservices architecture, AWS / public cloud, REST API design, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code.
• Strong conceptual and analytical thinking, supported by hands-on development experience across multiple technologies.
• Ability to take ownership, collaborate across cross-functional teams, and communicate clearly in an agile environment.
• A proactive problem-solver with a strong team-oriented mindset and the eagerness to quickly learn and apply new technical skills.

Nice-to-have

• Familiarity with Scrum values and the Scrum development framework; prior experience in a Scrum Team is a plus.
• Experience applying AI tooling within the SDLC.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps, SRE, or platform engineering patterns, including monitoring/observability.
• Knowledge of event-driven design and distributed systems.
• Experience or knowledge across our technology stack:

o Cloud Services: AWS (incl. Lambda, EKS)

• DevOps Toolchain: GitLab, CI/CD, Docker, Terraform
• Project Management Tools: Atlassian suite (Jira, Confluence)
• Languages & Frameworks: Java (Spring Framework), JavaScript (Angular, Node.js)
• Databases: PostgreSQL and others

What’s In It For You

• Make a direct impact on the foundation of Hilti's cloud development platform and subscription services.
• Be part of a forward-looking, international platform engineering organization shaping Hilti's cloud and AI capabilities.
• Work with modern technologies — AWS, AI, IaC, Kubernetes, automation, and backend services.
• Grow through Hilti's MyDevelopment framework, with clear role expectations and a progression path toward senior engineering roles (Grade 18 and beyond).
