Engineering Manager CH Infrastructure

As the market leader in health and accident insurance software in Switzerland, Adcubum is driving the digital transformation of the insurance industry. Our steady growth is based on the consistent development of innovative solutions designed by our experts at the intersection of insurance knowledge and IT expertise. With locations in Switzerland, Germany, and Croatia, we combine international perspectives with local industry insight - for insurance solutions that impress today and set standards tomorrow.

AI is part of how we work at Adcubum. We use AI-powered tools and technologies in our daily work, and we expect everyone to engage with them actively - to explore where AI improves processes, solves problems faster and creates better solutions for our customers. The pace of development is high, so curiosity and a willingness to keep learning count as much as professional expertise.

Have you run the IT infrastructure that a company depends on every day, and led the teams who keep it running? Have you moved workloads off your own hardware into the cloud and lived with the result, the costs and the hybrid years and the things that never migrate? And would you rather own internal IT whole than run one slice of it?

Then this is your role. You lead our Internal IT domain: two teams, twelve people in Switzerland and Croatia, and everything from the workplace and the office network to the datacenter, the database platforms and the cloud.

Lead the domain's two teams, Workplace & Corporate and Platform & Infrastructure, with disciplinary responsibility for everyone in them, apprentices included

Drive the migration of our server infrastructure from bare metal to the cloud: cloud-first for new demand, PaaS before IaaS, and a hybrid model for the years in between

Define the internal IT strategy and drive its implementation in step with the company strategy, including service orientation and clear governance

Establish one service catalogue with transparent service levels and incident, change and problem processes that hold up

Answer for internal IT towards Executive Management, auditors and Security, and hold standards, security practices and compliance consistent across the domain

Steer the sourcing strategy: make-or-buy decisions, external partners and managed services, vendor management

Own the domain budget, OPEX and CAPEX including cloud spend, and deliver measurable efficiency gains

Our requirements

Several years leading IT operations or an internal IT organisation, including disciplinary leadership of interdisciplinary teams

Depth in platform infrastructure (datacenter, virtualisation, container platforms, databases) and enough breadth in end-user IT to steer endpoint management, M365 and ITSM

A cloud migration you have run rather than only planned, including hybrid operations and cloud cost governance

Experience defining IT strategy, service catalogues and governance, and steering managed-service providers on SLAs and contracts

Fluent English is mandatory, fluent German is an advantage

Advantageous

Experience with audit and compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001

Practical familiarity with our stack: RHEL/Linux, CloudStack, OpenShift, Ceph, Oracle and PostgreSQL, endpoint management and M365

Experience leading teams split across countries, ideally between Switzerland and Croatia

Familiarity with the Swiss apprenticeship system, as the Workplace & Corporate team trains apprentices

Experience introducing AI-supported self-service and support automation

We offer

End-to-end ownership of internal IT, where the strategy, the budget and the sourcing decisions are yours to shape rather than to administer

A cloud migration with a real starting point: our own hardware, our own datacenter, and the mandate to decide what moves and what stays

Flat hierarchies, fast decision-making, a great deal of personal responsibility, and real opportunities to help shape things

Flexible work models with a hybrid approach, a modern corporate culture, and the option to work remotely from Croatia, with occasional business travel required

An attractive compensation package, in line with your experience

International collaboration with teams in Switzerland, Germany, and Croatia

Regular knowledge sharing, hackdays, on- and offsites

Do you want the whole of internal IT, the hardware included, and the mandate to move it? Then join our team in Zagreb.

Our Employees Appreciate the Close Collaboration with their Colleagues

“At Adcubum, I especially value the culture of continuous learning and collaboration. Openness and support from colleagues make it easy to grow together and bring in new ideas. It’s an environment that actively promotes personal and professional growth.”

Account Manager

"At Adcubum, we're shaping the future of the Swiss accident and health insurance software together. You are in the right place if you bring curiosity in technology, take ownership of hard problems, and want to build something lasting with colleagues who care as much as you do."
