Working in Zühlke’s software engineering team

Would you like to join the largest group of innovators at Zühlke? Software engineers make up two-thirds of our company. 

Software engineers at Zühlke are curious, cooperative and believe in working together to make the world better. They get to ask big questions — like how can we help a manufacturing client reduce their CO2e by 800 metric tonnes? Or how can we ensure the accuracy of a surgical robot that uses lasers to cut bone?

We encourage continuous learning and development across your whole career. You’ll have the opportunity to specialise in mobile, web, embedded or cloud development — or choose to remain stack-agnostic and develop skills across multiple different disciplines. 

Beyond technology, Zühlke software engineers are also talented communicators and collaborators with colleagues and clients alike. Whether you join at the start or further into your career, you’ll enjoy bringing ideas to customers with confidence and networking with other engineers in a variety of contexts. 

Ultimately, what you achieve here is up to you – we hire great people and give them the trust and autonomy to build a career they’re proud of.

  • Front-End Engineering

    Working on the front end of things gives you the chance to make experiences better for the user, then and there.

    Front-End Engineers are the visual architects of these digital worlds. At Zühlke, our Front-End Engineers take the lead in crafting captivating and seamless user interfaces, shaping the user's digital journey with precision and creativity for the best outcomes.
