EF· Zürich, Zurich, Switzerland
Founded in 1965 in Sweden, EF (Education First) is a global association of education companies that share a common mission of opening the world through education. Some companies are in the business of banking. Others are in the business of shoes. Or sports. Or soft drinks. At EF, we're in a different kind of business. One that's a little less tangible, and a lot more important. Because our business, what we make, makes everything else possible. We're in the business of understanding. Between people. Between cultures. For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding. Through language, cultural exchange, academic studies, and educational travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world. You’ll find our offices and schools located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people (over 50,000 of us) who push each other to be better every day. But it’s what we do together - building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world - that makes all the difference.

Find engineers and operators at companies in Zurich

Zurich is one of the densest markets for technology talent in the world. The list above ranks the largest companies headquartered in Zurich by current headcount, drawn from public LinkedIn and Crunchbase records.

Refolk lets you reach into this pool with plain English. Ask for “senior backend engineers in Zurich who’ve shipped at scale” or “founders in Zurich who left in the last year” and Refolk returns a ranked shortlist with the evidence behind each match.
