You love flexible working – we do, too

Working from home isn’t just a “nice-to-have” perk for us, but has been standard for a long time. In many units, our employees in Switzerland have the option to work from home. What’s more, we have modern workspaces at our two locations in Bern and Zofingen, with creative zones and areas for exchanging ideas. We also offer co-working spaces in central locations at Bern station and Zurich Oerlikon station. To ensure that collaboration within the teams is as personalized as possible, we meet once a week for a team day in Bern or Zofingen. Balancing work and leisure is very important to us, which is why you can organize your working hours flexibly with us.

The core of our agile way of working and our cooperation is the “enterprise agile delivery” framework (EAD for short). When it comes to designing and further developing the EAD framework, PostFinance is guided by well-known, firmly established frameworks and practices. We incorporate aspects that are a fit for our company and culture, and deliberately avoid those that are not.

First-hand accounts – our employees talk about their job

«As a full stack developer, I work in a highly professional team in customer order management. We develop BPMN workflow-based applications that automate our customer order processing, improve the customer experience and facilitate the work of PostFinance employees. The technical challenges are multifaceted: use of the Camunda Process Engine with Java backend and Angular frontend, deployed on Spring Boot and in Kubernetes. We are involved in establishing specifications with the specialists and are responsible for everything from development to maintenance in production. What I like is the culture of trust in the team and how the developers help each other to find solutions.»
«As an Architecture Owner, I design and implement complex big data and machine learning architecture to help our customers to quickly and easily keep track of their account transactions. My work also involves identifying potential risks and problems in the architecture and developing solutions to address them. To ensure that the architecture remains scalable and sustainable in the long term, I create roadmaps and select the appropriate technologies. I work closely with our developers to make sure that the architectural guidelines and standards are adhered to. What I particularly appreciate about my job is the independent way of working and the big responsibility I have. I decide where and how I do my work, and that’s also a huge plus for me.»
