Senior Web / Software Developer – Atlassian Confluence & Microsoft SharePoint (80-100%)

Location: Zürich / Splügenstrasse 5

Time Type: Full time

Job Description

Ready to move beyond “keep-the-lights-on” and shape the future of a global bank’s digital workplace?
At Vontobel, we’re transforming our core collaboration platforms from on-prem Atlassian to Confluence Cloud, while evolving SharePoint into a powerful, modern intranet experience used by every employee, every day.
As a Senior Web / Software Developer, you won’t just support systems; you’ll redefine them. Take ownership, drive innovation, and build solutions that truly matter across the organization.
If you’re hands-on, forward-thinking, and excited to make a visible impact, this is your chance to lead from the front.

What would your role be?  

• Own and deliver the technical implementation of intranet and collaboration use cases across Microsoft SharePoint and Atlassian Confluence, from requirements to production operations. 

• Play a leading engineering role in the migration from on‑prem Atlassian Data Center to Confluence Cloud (Enterprise) and related platform evolution.  

• Design, build, and maintain modern SharePoint Online solutions (sites, information architecture, permissions, content models, search, and governance) with a strong focus on developer-grade extensibility.

• Build and evolve intranet features and integrations (e.g., navigation, publishing patterns, content rollups, automation, and platform-wide components) that scale to a firm-wide audience. 

• Develop and maintain integrations and migration tooling between Confluence and SharePoint (content move, metadata mapping, link integrity, redirects, and quality checks) to enable a controlled, low-risk transition. 

• Act as a senior hands-on engineer: lead code reviews, establish engineering standards, improve CI/CD and operational readiness, and mentor colleagues working on the intranet and platform ecosystem. 

What are we looking for?  

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, a related field, or a completed software engineering apprenticeship. 

• At least 5 years of hands-on professional experience as senior web / software engineer with strong delivery track record in enterprise platforms and high-visibility web systems such as intranets. 

• Deep, current expertise in Microsoft SharePoint (development and administration) including modern SharePoint patterns and operating models in a regulated environment. 

• Strong experience building web solutions (TypeScript/JavaScript, modern frontend, APIs) and implementing secure, maintainable backend services where needed.  

• Practical know-how with Atlassian ecosystems (Confluence/Jira) and the ability to engineer solutions across both on‑prem and cloud setups.  

• Solid understanding of identity, permissions, and governance concepts, comfortable designing and operating access models for bank-wide information platforms.  

• Experience with migrations (platform or content), including planning, tooling, validation, stakeholder communication, and incremental rollout strategies.  

• A pragmatic, communicative team player who can own decisions, handle ambiguity, and collaborate closely with business stakeholders, security, and IT operations.  

• Fluent in English; German is a strong plus. 

What do we offer? 

• Top Zurich location with collaboration spaces and free lunch

• All the latest technology to help you excel and advance

• Agile environment in how we think, the way we work and our trust for each other

• Lots of special perks, including home office possibility up to 20%

• Flat hierarchy with collaboration at all levels

• Campus feeling and a collaborative spirit
