At Chain IQ, your ideas move fast.

Chain IQ is a global AI-driven Procurement Service Partner, headquartered in Baar, Switzerland, with operations across main centers and 16 offices worldwide. We provide tailored, end-to-end procurement solutions that enable transformation, drive scalability, and deliver substantial reductions in our clients' indirect spend. Our culture is built on innovation, entrepreneurship, ownership, and impact. Here, your voice matters - bold thinking is encouraged, and action follows ambition.

Role purpose

We are building a modern platform that blends workflow automation, data-driven insights, and AI-supported decision capabilities. This role shapes the operational backbone that makes all of it reliable, secure and fast. You will work on cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD automation, environment management, observability and runtime optimization in a live, high-complexity environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You build systems that scale, fail gracefully, and recover automatically. You establish patterns that developers rely on every day. You will operate in a fast-moving environment where stability and agility must coexist.

Why this role matters

The success of the platform depends on strong operational foundations. Users expect speed and stability. Internal teams rely on safe, repeatable systems. Automated agents require predictable, observable runtimes. You will help build the environment that powers all of it.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain cloud environments using infrastructure as code and reusable modules

Develop CI/CD pipelines with automated validation, safety controls and progressive rollout patterns

Implement observability across logs, metrics and traces, with actionable signal for teams

Define and maintain reliability standards including SLOs, error budgets and incident processes

Establish secure defaults for environments, services and deployments

Optimize runtime performance and cost through data-driven analysis

Remove manual operations by automating environment, deployment and maintenance workflows
