Software Engineer - Delta Platform

BLP Digital AG

Responsibilities

Infrastructure: Build and operate the cloud infrastructure BLP depends on, covering security, observability and CI/CD.
Backend: Develop a large codebase, tackling performance, concurrency and the challenges of distributed systems.
ML: Apply the latest AI technology to complex, real-world business problems and turn it into reliable production software.
Unbound: Build our product extension platform, enabling BLP to automate arbitrary customer business processes as we scale.

Thus, we’re looking for highly ambitious engineers who can tackle difficult problems and think precisely. You must be able to make assumptions explicit and use formal, structured reasoning to reach a solution, and explain why it is correct. Typically, strong background in mathematics is a key foundation for this kind of work. We also place a high value on thoroughness and perfectionism.

Delta builds BLP’s core software: the technical foundation that everything else at the company runs on.

Modelling logic and correctness by construction is paramount to us. We aim to express what must be true, prevent invalid states, and keep systems pristine even as they grow.
Tooling wise, we rely heavily on type systems & functional programming.

Our work spans four areas, you will usually work on a given project within one of:

We do not require experience with any particular technology or even industry software development experience.
You should, however, provide clear evidence of the abilities we’re looking for. That evidence could include:
strong academic backgrounds (math PhD/MSc or significant olympiad achievements) startup experience (early employee, built productive systems yourself & know what it takes to maintain them)
FP experience (have deep understanding of programming languages and are able to discern the various tradeoffs of different paradigms)
Flexibility.
Work on-site in Zurich or remotely within Europe.
