About this role

Salary: CHF 110’000 - 140’000 per year

Requirements:
  • • 5+ years of experience with modern programming languages, preferably Java, Kotlin, Python, or Go.
  • • Passionate about software craftsmanship: Strong understanding of software development principles, Clean Code, and Clean Architecture.
  • • Exceptional abstraction skills: simplify complex systems, identify core concepts, create generalized models, and communicate complex ideas clearly.
  • • Entrepreneurial mindset: balance cost and benefit, avoid over-engineering, and deliver high-quality solutions efficiently.
  • • Ownership and initiative: take responsibility for your projects, propose solutions, and maintain focus on achieving objectives.
Responsibilities:
  • The Team:
  • At BLP, we create cutting-edge products for automated document processing. We are now building a dedicated team to automate internal processes as well, providing a unique opportunity to design tools from scratch using state-of-the-art technologies and modern engineering practices. Engineers on this team will take end-to-end ownership of internal automation tools and workflows, building solutions that amplify impact across the company. As BLP grows rapidly, the improvements this team introduces compound, enabling more efficient operations and giving the company the ability to scale without unnecessary overhead. This is a chance to tackle high-leverage problems in a fast-moving startup environment, where the right solution can have wide-reaching effects. Our team thrives on spotting inefficiencies and turning them into impactful solutions that are built once, the right way. We value engineering excellence in every decision, prioritizing simple, maintainable architectures, clean code, and sustainable design that ‘just works’ with minimal ongoing maintenance. We take pride in craftsmanship, focusing on solving problems properly rather than quickly, so our tools continue to deliver value over the long term.
  • What You’ll Do:
  • • Build Great Software: Design and develop clean, maintainable, and high-quality software solutions. Conduct code reviews and contribute to a culture of technical excellence.
  • • Shape Architecture: Collaborate on system design, technology stack decisions, and optimizations for scalability, performance, and maintainability.
  • • Lead and Influence: Guide technical direction for major initiatives, translating requirements into actionable deliverables, and mentoring team members along the way.
  • • Drive Impact: Identify inefficiencies and propose solutions that significantly improve efficiency and reliability within the company. Own your projects end-to-end, from concept to deployment.
  • • Promote Innovation and Collaboration: Work closely with colleagues to continuously improve processes, tools, and team practices while fostering a culture of learning and experimentation.
  • Why You’ll Love Working Here:
  • • Opportunity to build tools used across the company that solve real problems.
  • • See the direct results of your work in how teams across the company operate more effectively.
  • • Small, highly skilled team where every engineer’s voice matters.

  • • Freedom to choose technologies and approaches that work best.
