For 30 years, comparis.ch has been Switzerland’s leading comparison platform. We have been comparing prices and services from health insurers, insurance providers, banks, and telecom companies, among others, and we operate Switzerland’s largest online marketplaces for real estate and cars. Through comprehensive comparisons, we create transparency and help our users make the right decisions for their needs. With more than 80 million visitors per year, we are one of the most widely used websites in Switzerland. Nine out of ten people know us as Switzerland’s independent comparison platform.
Now that we’ve covered the company side, let’s get to the point: our Marketplaces team needs your support!
We are looking for a Backend Developer to join our Marketplaces department and become part of the cross-functional Homefinder development team. Together, you will maintain and further develop one of Switzerland’s largest real estate platforms used daily by thousands of users.
In this role, you will design and develop scalable backend services, build APIs, and help evolve our architecture towards a modern cloud-native platform running on Azure and Kubernetes. You will also contribute to the migration of existing applications from our legacy .NET Framework stack to a modern container-based environment.
Your responsibilities
Note: If you are currently residing abroad and are interested in a fully remote setup, please note that the employment would be arranged through our Employer of Record partner, remote.com, and therefore follow the labor laws and employment conditions of your country of residence.
We also only consider direct applicants with a maximum time-zone difference of +/- 2 hours from Switzerland (GMT+2).
