Our mission is simple: make interactions between health professionals and patients easier. To achieve this, we can count on a young and dynamic team of more than 80 people spread in five offices all around Switzerland.

The role

We are looking for a Senior Scala Software Engineer who cares deeply about well-designed backend systems that are scalable and built to last, and who takes pride in writing clean code. This is a role with real ownership: you will not just build features, you will help shape how our backend is designed, built, and evolved over time.

Position overview:

• Contract type: Permanent
• Employment type: Full-time (100%)
• Location: Geneva / Lausanne
• Start date: As soon as possible
  
• Work model: Hybrid (3 days on-site / 2 days remote)

Key missions

️ Design and build scalable backend services

You will design, implement, and evolve core backend services using Scala 3, focusing on performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability.

‍ Own code quality and technical decisions

You will write maintainable, well-structured code and actively participate in code reviews. You will help make and document technical decisions, balancing long-term codebase consistent with pragmatic delivery.

Lead through mentorship and collaboration

You will mentor other engineers, support their growth, and contribute to hiring the right colleagues. Your impact will go beyond your own code: you will help create an environment where engineers learn, improve, and enjoy doing great work together.

Turn complex requirements into simple solutions

You will work closely with product managers, design and Top Management to break down complex problems, explore trade-offs, and deliver solutions that are easy to reason about and operate in production.

Continuously improve the platform and practices

You will stay up to date with Scala and backend engineering best practices, and you will help introduce new technology and processes that meaningfully improve reliability, developer experience, and productivity.

Join a team that values engineers

You will join a high-caliber, passionate engineering team that values collaboration, ownership, and shipping meaningful work. We move fast, support each other, and genuinely enjoy solving hard problems together.

• You have working proficiency in English​

It would be amazing that:

• You are proficient with CI tools

Note: this position is based out of Geneva or Lausanne Switzerland, and only applicants with a valid work permit will be considered.

Recruiting process

We care deeply about offering a transparent, respectful, and human hiring experience. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Introductory call with our HR team: a first conversation to get to know you, your background, and your past achievements, and to see how your experience aligns with our needs.

2. Technical discussion with a Tech Manager: a deeper technical exchange to discuss your experience, approach to problem-solving, and the kinds of systems you enjoy working on.

3. Take-home coding exercise & on-site presentation: you will receive a coding exercise to work on at home, at your own pace. You will then be invited to our office to present and discuss your solution with our CTO and a Senior Engineer. This is a collaborative conversation focused on your choices, trade-offs, and technical thinking.

4. Reference checks: we will speak with one or more former colleagues or managers to better understand how you work in a team and your past impact.

5. Validation conversation with our CEO: a final discussion to answer all your remaining questions about OneDoc, our vision, and to make sure there is a strong mutual fit.
