As the Sr. Lead - Agile Creation Developer, you will be the architect for new products & platforms that venture beyond current capabilities. As a development “Rover”, you must have technical knowledge of vastly different full system development types with the ability to work autonomously on tooling engineering and material development. You are the “Swiss Army Knife”. You require minimal supervision and your reach, end-to-end, will be broader than any other on the team. You are highly curious, highly ambitious, and are energized by the fact that your day-to-day is never the same. Of our five spirits at On, you identify most with the Explorer Spirit. You rethink and venture into the unknown.

Your Mission

Commit to the Unknown: You lead the technical development silhouettes that may never have been done at ON, ensuring that the full system plus every detail translates into a premium experience with the long-term structural integrity expected of a Swiss Engineered product.
Master Complex Integration: You serve as the primary technical partner to Design, converting high-concept visions into reality.
Drive Swiss Ingenuity: You apply a "zero-compromise" mindset to manufacturing, utilizing advanced construction to achieve the clean, minimalist finish that serves as a global benchmark for quality as the most premium sportswear brand.

Your story

The Technical Authority: You have 12+ years of advanced footwear development experience, with a proven track record of launching highly complex, performance-driven products or platforms.
Resilient Individual Contributor: You have the patience and persistence to navigate the long road. You take full accountability for the technical lifecycle, from initial discovery to the final production sample.
A Problem Solver by Nature: Ingenuity is at your core. You think differently, challenge the status quo, and find elegance in solving the most difficult construction puzzles while maintaining superior performance.
The Swiss Army Knife Skillset: Deep, hands-on expertise in advanced tooling engineering, mold design, injection/compression molding processes, and cutting-edge material development.
Autonomous Execution: A self-starter mindset with the ability to operate with minimal supervision in ambiguous, rapidly changing environments.

Attributes of a successful candidate:

Architect the Unknown: Translate innovative concepts into scalable, commercial footwear platforms and manufacturing processes.
The "Rover": Act as an internal consultant and firefighter, stepping into highly complex or "critical condition" projects to course-correct technical execution, tooling engineering, or material development. Proven resilience and emotional intelligence when leading high-stakes projects under tight deadlines or technical constraints.
End-to-End Orchestration: Manage the entire development lifecycle for strategic initiatives, oscillating seamlessly from microscopic technical details to macro-level launch strategies and sourcing considerations.

About the Team

You will join the Zurich-based Footwear Development team, serving as a senior pillar of expertise. A high-performance collective of engineers, developers, and makers who serve as the technical heart of the brand.

In Zurich, our team acts as the primary link between Biomechanical Research, Material Science, Design, and Sourcing, ensuring that every innovation is grounded in technical reality before it reaches the athlete.

Our mission is to relentlessly elevate the performance and technical attributes of our footwear. We don't just facilitate product creation; we engineer the "ride." As part of the vertical, you will be surrounded by specialists who are obsessed with creating the best fitting, performing and desirable products in the market.

We pride ourselves on a culture of technical rigor and "Swiss Engineering," where we challenge the status quo to solve the most complex biomechanical hurdles in the industry. Your role within this team is to ensure that as our category expands, our technical standards and the performance "soul" of our footwear remain uncompromised.

Footwear Development, Ho Chi Minh City

Unlike other brands, we aren't just executioners out here in Vietnam, we give ideas as well. Sometimes they have a new idea in Zurich and we might find a process to make it more efficient and we share that.

What we offer

On is a place that is centered around growth and progress. We offer an environment designed to give people the tools to develop holistically – to stay active, to learn, explore and innovate. Our distinctive approach combines a supportive, team-oriented atmosphere, with access to personal self-care for both physical and mental well-being, so each person is led by purpose.

On is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating a work environment that is fair and inclusive, where all decisions related to recruitment, advancement, and retention are free of discrimination.

Build the better you

What to expect

We want to set everyone up for success, so here’s the lowdown on how we hire. Our process is a two-way street – bringing you into our culture, while helping us learn how you think.

Our full process can last about eight weeks from application to offer, because we care about getting it right. These steps explain how we usually do things.

Before you get started, feel free to consider if you want to work with us. Strange question? Well, we give people a lot of space to navigate their day-to-day and that style isn't for everyone. We want you to be passionate about what you do and be sure this is the right fit. Because when skills and passion combine – it creates that 'Wow' moment.

Step One

It starts with you...

You'll start by submitting your application to a specific role. We try to keep this step as simple as possible. We do get a lot of applications, but we review them all. If you're a good fit to the role, a recruiter will follow up with you directly. If you didn't receive a reply, or were unsuccessful this time around, we encourage you to look for other possible matches at On.

Step Two

Interview with a recruiter

What ignites your spirit? This is where we’ll start getting to know all about you and what makes you tick – and it’s your first chance to get a feel for our culture. Chatting with a member of our talent team, you’ll learn more about On and how we work. We’ll learn about what motivates you and what you could bring to the team.

Step Three

Interview with a hiring manager

Ready to dig into the details? This second interview will be held with your future manager and will focus on the specifics of the job. Together you’ll delve into your unique skills and experiences and how they could be relevant at On. It's also a time to assess how you might feel working side-by-side. Bring any questions you have about the job, the team or anything else you might like to know – this is an open forum.

Step Four

The Case Study

What's your style? This task will help us understand how you think, face a challenge and give insight into your novel ideas. Designed to give everyone their best shot, your case study is based on something you might typically experience on the job. This is your chance to show us what you’ve got. So express yourself. Be you.

Step Five

The Experience Day

Your first taste of the Oniverse. This is a time to meet some of the people you'll be working closest with. In person or virtually, you'll get a feel for the day-to-day at On and the people who make it happen. You'll chat with a few potential teammates - the conversations will be as equally driven by the role and your experience as by our values. We believe how you do things is just as important as what you do.

Step Six

The Result

Are we a good fit? We’ll get together internally to share our feedback and decide if we’re a match. We know that job searching is a big time investment, so it’s not a decision we take lightly. It’s also time for you to reflect on the experience – are we the right place for you? No matter the outcome, we’ll give you meaningful feedback.
