As the top Swiss e-commerce platform, with a crew of over 3’000 across Switzerland, Germany, and Serbia, Galaxus is poised to move into new markets. Our driving force is our determination to keep challenging the status quo. That’s why we’re on the lookout for characters who’re passionate about making genuine improvements. We’ll give you the freedom and trust to make an impact, to grow with us and to be yourself. Act galactic. Be you.
“Fancy Bear”, the internal cybersecurity team at Digitec Galaxus, is a powerhouse of innovation and expertise. We are dedicated to testing & defending our platform against emerging threats and ensuring a safe experience for millions of users, as well as our own employees and operating environments. Our team is on the lookout for a vibrant and skilled Security Engineer to join our ranks and help shape the future of secure online shopping.
Your responsibilities
- You’ll design and roll out security controls across our multi-cloud and on-prem environments. You aren’t just "checking boxes" - you’re actively hardening our apps and infrastructure to keep them resilient.
- Since you love to build, you’ll automate security workflows using your favorite scripting and programming languages. Your goal is to make security invisible and seamless for our developers and wider colleagues.
- You’ll be the bridge to our engineering teams, helping them bake security into their CI/CD pipelines. You’re comfortable constantly shifting stuff left within our DevSecOps cycle, providing secure by default foundations, review code and configurations to squash vulnerabilities before hitting the wild.
- You’ll get hands-on with both offensive and defensive strategies. This means proactive threat hunting and monitoring, but also jumping into the driver's seat when it’s time for incident response or vulnerability management.
- We’re big on automation, so you’ll help us build scalable, automated "red team" activities to test our own defenses constantly.
- You’ll contribute to our security architecture initiatives, helping us design defensive mechanisms that don’t just stop today's threats, but prevent tomorrow's.
Your skills
- You have a solid academic background (ETH/UNI/FH) in Computer Science or Cyber Security, or you’ve spent at least 3+ years in the trenches earning equivalent "real-world" experience.
- You’ve spent several years in the defensive or offensive space. If you’ve got industry certs to show for it, that’s great - but your ability to dismantle and secure complex systems is what really counts.
- You’re at home in multi-cloud environments (Azure and GCP) and believe that security belongs in the code. You know your way around DevSecOps tooling and love automating the boring stuff.
- You can "speak engineer" with our dev teams. Whether it's .NET/C#, Python, SQL, or wrangling Kubernetes, you’re comfortable reading code understanding how it hits the infrastructure and evolving it where necessary.
- You don’t accept "that’s how we’ve always done it." You’re naturally curious, a bit of a skeptic, and always looking for a more elegant, automated and scalable way to solve a problem.
- You’re authentic, open, and eager to share what you know. We’re a collaborative bunch - we want someone who enriches our culture, not just our codebase.
- We work primarily in English. If you speak German, that’s a huge plus; if not, we’ll happily support you with our language programs until you're comfortable.
Why start with us?

- Modern: With us you can work with the latest technologies every day, see our Tech-Radar.
- More than "just" work: Take part in our various employee events such as Hackathons, hiking, skiing, Böötlen on the Limmat, LAN Parties or Friday Night Drinks and, if you're interested, contribute to our Techblog.
- More benefits: 25 days of holiday, exclusive employee conditions in our online shop, mobile, internet and TV plans at company rates and many other benefits.
