Our mission

Ivy Partners is a Swiss consulting company that supports organizations in addressing their strategic, technological, and organizational challenges.

We are committed to offering our employees a career that supports their personal and professional growth. We help them develop their skills and provide genuine opportunities for advancement.

As an SRE Engineer at Ivy Partners, you will:

Ensure the reliability, performance, and operational readiness of business-critical Front & Market Risk applications across on-premises and cloud environments.

Deploy, configure, and maintain applications across development and production environments, including Java services, web interfaces, and legacy components.

Build meaningful monitoring, alerts, and dashboards, and define service-level indicators, objectives, and error budgets to guide reliability decisions.

Participate in on-call rotations, investigate and resolve incidents, and lead blameless post-incident reviews that result in lasting improvements.

Automate deployments, configuration, and recurring operational tasks using CI/CD pipelines, scripting, and configuration management. Replace manual procedures with automated or self-healing solutions wherever possible.

Support the move toward containers, infrastructure as code, and cloud services, including deployment validation and rollback planning.

Work with development, infrastructure, database, network, and security teams to address capacity, performance, security, and production-readiness requirements.

Help colleagues adopt SRE practices and use AI agents effectively to investigate issues and support modernization.

About you

You are our ideal candidate if:

You have at least three years of experience in application operations, production support, SRE, or DevOps, ideally in a business-critical or regulated environment.

You have hands-on experience handling incidents, investigating logs, troubleshooting application issues, and restoring services.

You can automate tasks with Bash or Python and are comfortable working with CI/CD pipelines, Ansible, SSH, and Linux environments.

You have experience with Kafka and understand how it supports distributed applications.

You understand SRE practices such as service-level objectives, observability, post-incident reviews, and reducing repetitive manual work.

You have a conceptual understanding of COBOL and can use documentation and AI assistance to explore legacy code and support its transformation into Java. You do not need to be able to code in COBOL.

You can guide AI agents, assess their output, and use them as a practical aid in solving problems.

You communicate confidently in English and enjoy working with teams across different disciplines.

You are curious, autonomous, and solution-oriented, with a desire to learn and build improvements that last.
