Senior DevOps Engineer

Frontify is the brand platform behind some of the world's leading organizations, including Microsoft, Telefónica, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, and Kia. We help every team bring brands to life — with governance in one place, seamless workflows across the tools people already use, and a foundation that's ready for AI. We're driven by collaboration, curiosity, and the belief that great work can happen anywhere. What began in St. Gallen has grown to London, New York, and beyond. Wherever you join us, you'll take ownership from day one, shape work that reaches global brands, and help redefine how brands work in the age of AI.

What you'll shape

You'll ensure that Frontify's system infrastructure is cared for, maintained, and improved – it's a fast-changing infrastructure, so there's always something going on. Working closely with the R&D team, you'll investigate and identify the root cause of infrastructure issues, enabling the team to resolve them, as well as document relevant processes. Beyond managing the daily infrastructure needs, you'll be the first point of contact for our Europe- and US-based teams on anything related to the technical aspects of our platform.

Help develop and maintain a robust monitoring and observability framework to ensure system performance, reliability, and early issue detection.

Own and evolve incident management processes, including on-call, postmortems, SLOs, and error budgets.
