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.
