Senior AI Platform Engineer

About the job Senior Data & AI Platform Engineer 🔵 Hiring | Senior AI Platform Engineer | Zurich | Leading Private Bank The Role This is a hands-on platform and DevOps engineering role. You'll be responsible for building, running and continuously improving the AI platform infrastructure that internal teams — including data scientists and analysts — depend on daily. You're not designing strategy. You're making things work reliably, securely and at scale in a regulated banking environment. Day-to-day this means provisioning environments, writing infrastructure-as-code, building observability into the platform, managing GenAI vendors, and converting recurring platform problems into reusable, enterprise-grade features. What You'll Be Doing Define and build platform infrastructure in code — Terraform is your default, not a nice-to-have Build monitoring, alerting and observability across the AI platform from the ground up Support and enable data scientist workflows and internal platform customers Integrate low-code (Power Platform, Power Automate) and pro-code capabilities across the platform Manage containerised deployments — OpenShift experience expected Onboard and train internal users; act as a platform partner to the business Manage vendor relationships across GenAI tooling Contribute to governance guardrails and agent monitoring frameworks Work within Private Link network constraints — understanding the impact on data flows and RAG architecture What We're Looking For Hands-on platform or DevOps engineering background — 5+ years Strong Terraform and IaC experience — essential Azure platform experience — AI Foundry, Microsoft Fabric, Power Platform Containerisation experience — OpenShift preferred, Kubernetes considered CI/CD pipeline ownership and automated testing Experience supporting internal customers and translating recurring problems into platform features — a background in Microsoft support or consulting is a genuine indicator of fit here Power BI and/or on-prem Tableau familiarity Strong communication skills — you'll work closely with non-technical stakeholders Fluent English; German a plus What This Role Is Not This is not a senior architect or strategy role. The right person is a builder and operator who takes ownership, works independently and makes tooling enterprise-grade rather than just functional. If you're looking to delegate the hands-on work, this isn't the right fit. 📍 Zurich-based | Hybrid 💰 Up to ~135k base + ~10% bonus 🏦 Regulated banking environment 🗣️ English essential | German a plus Drop me a message or hit apply #PlatformEngineering #DevOps #MicrosoftFabric #AIFoundry #InfrastructureAsCode #Azure #Zurich #Switzerland #AIHiring #BankingTech #FinTech
