Why join us?

Schuberg Philis is a unique player in the outsourcing market. We take responsibility for our customer’s key concern: the 100% functional availability of their mission critical applications. These applications form the basis for their business – they allow the organisation to do business and serve customers. This is why these systems should be available and transactions should be possible at all times. We simply promise the 100% functional availability for these mission critical applications with end-to-end responsibility and a fixed price which includes any change or modifications. Period.

To work for us you’ll need to share our philosophy. Good just isn’t good enough. We make long-term commitments to our employees, customers and partners. We give a 100% commitment and we have an absolute belief in making the impossible happen.
Because we know 100% is possible; with a drastically different model, a drastically different mindset and all of this in close collaboration with everyone involved.

We’re a high quality and transparent company with dedicated customer teams that design and monitor bespoke infrastructures built and managed to meet customers’ diverse needs. In our dedicated customer teams are the people deployed who do the actual work: the very experienced Mission Critical Engineers and Customer Operations Managers.

We keep each other focused, continually challenge each other to get ahead, to excel. We go for the maximum imaginable and will not settle for less. And that applies to everything –to our work, our organisation, the coffee that we drink, the parties that we throw. There is only one approach: 100%.
We want to do magnificent things, in the quickest and best way possible. Never beaten by the system. But above all, together with the customer we want to make a difference. Because we feel particularly energised when we beat our customers’ expectations.

At Schuberg Philis, you’ll learn too. Challenging, complex infrastructures and projects require motivation and multi-skilled collaboration, where teamwork and individual skills are nurtured and professionalism becomes part of everyday life. Learning and staying up to date with the latest developments are of the essence.

Mission Critical Engineers
Customer Operations Managers

Mission Critical Engineers

Technical skills and an innovative spirit are pre-requisites. More important are the 100% attitude and 10 years of relevant working experience with complex IT projects. You are capable of designing, building and managing dedicated mission critical application infrastructures for our customers. Security is an integral part of your engineering approach.

In your current working environment you’ll be indispensable (you’ll be ‘on call’ even during your holidays), hidden in a competence centre silo or you’ll have been asked to become a Consultant or Manager, losing contact with the ‘real work’ and daily practice, where you really want to be. You want to be a focussed and outstanding Engineer, an extraordinary craftsman working amongst equals.

You are accustomed to think from the customer’s perspective. You enjoy the responsibility which comes with running critical systems over ‘just’ an Operating System: working for a bank above working on a Unix-system. You want to be deployed in the frontline. Have daily contact with your customer. You want to work with real peers and learn what to do is best. Above all you want to do brilliant things together with your colleagues and customers. Your work matters.

You are capable of translating the customers’ functional and business requirements into technical designs. With your outstanding communication skills, you’re able to explain the rationale behind those translations to decision makers and your colleagues from the multi-skilled customer team. In addition, you can build and run these complex application infrastructures. And by taking a holistic approach, you’ll create intelligent, thorough and ‘right first time’ solutions. At the same time finding the right balance between monitoring, automating and engineering.

You will combine your flexible mind with an integrated view on technology, security and solutions. You’re an architect with a passion for zero-maintenance solutions and there isn’t a system that can beat you. You are constantly trying to find new ways of monitoring and automating your customer’s mission critical application infrastructure. Right first time is your motto. Nothing is taken for granted, you’ll get it up and running and you’ll keep it stable while changing the system. There’s nothing like a challenge.

You would like to work with peers in a close-knit, high performing multi-skilled team, and be intellectually challenged by the projects you work on. You’d like direct contact with customers and work together with customers and peers to build structurally sound solutions. You like to work for multiple clients in a dedicated environment and the challenge to find the right solution – comprehensive and custom-made.

Customer Operations Manager

The Customer Operations Manager (COM) is the primary point of contact for both customers and engineering teams. You will have an intellectual mind, at least ten to fifteen years relevant experience in IT project & operations management and excellent communication skills.

You like working in a competitive and results-driven multi-skilled environment where combining an entrepreneurial attitude with management skills is key. You’re constantly motivated to achieve 100% individually and as part of a team, to deliver services that exceed again and again customers’ expectations. To do a better-than-perfect job. As COM you’re in direct contact with your customer at both tactical and practical level on a daily base. You’ll be delivering projects on time and to budget, supported by a team of highly, multi-skilled, motivated and professional engineers.

In contact with your customer you show that you completely understand their dynamic application infrastructure. You are our customer’s sparring partner and counterpart for the IT Manager and Chief Information Officer (CIO) while they make a constant assessment between being in control, need for flexibility and innovation.

With full profit & loss responsibility, you’ll enjoy the blend of satisfying and exceeding customer expectations (measured), project managing and captivating the engineers. Mission critical application infrastructures outsourced to Schuberg Philis – examples include internet banks and energy trade platforms – can only be built and supported optimally with the right team – spirited, multi-skilled and enthusiastic people working together. As a team, dedicated individuals combined with our corporate values will guarantee the 100% functional availability and satisfaction we promise to all our customers.
