| Application | Current outcome | Interview reached | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA - Senior DevOps Engineer, Zürich (req JR2024256) | applied | not recorded | **Await response. Raise the working model at first contact** - it went in unresolved and a 5-day-onsite seat would be a late no. Note: `claims.json` has no shell-scripting entry, so **Bash is omitted** from Skills although the JD names it and ten years of Debian admin plus Ansible work plainly involve it - same shape as the Ansible/Linux gaps found 2026-08-27. Confirm with the user and record it. Groovy stays out regardless. |
| RUAG C5I - AI Engineer C5I, Thun (application ID 18027) | applied | not recorded | Await response. Optional but still worthwhile: call **Marco Heinzen** about technical scope and level, and **Frank Haugwitz** about compensation and PSP/project eligibility. **NEW CONTACT 2026-09-07 — `Lars Kauz`, Head of ICT Infrastructure C5I, +41 79 293 93 82, lars.kauz@ruag.ch**, published on the System Engineer C5I posting. Channel is the rationed variable since the 09-05 cohort change, so a published, reachable name matters — **but he heads ICT Infrastructure, the function whose req was ruled out for VMware/VDI/Windows content, and that is NOT demonstrably the Kubernetes platform group Senior DevOps C5I sits in.** He is a warm entry into C5I, not a verified channel for rank 1; Haugwitz stays the recorded gate. Do not react to a single outcome with positioning changes (`application_strategy.md` §38/§74). |
| Schweizer Armee - Kommando Cyber (Kdo Cy), DevOps Engineer III (Data Platform), Zimmerwald (Ref JRQ$540-19848) | rejected_no_interview | not recorded | Closed; no pending application action. Read recorded history before reopening. |
| Citadel Securities — Platform Engineer, Research Platform Engineering, Zürich (also NY/Miami) | applied | not recorded | **Await response** (submitted 2026-08-26). No document work pending. **Two questions travel with this application and must both be asked at first contact, before any interview effort:** (1) **is the application even against the Zürich seat?** — the apply form offered no Zürich, so it may sit against a US req, which is a hard NO on relocation; (2) **hybrid or 5-day onsite?** — unresolved at submission, and 5-day onsite is a likely NO-GO on the Bern constraint. Same shape as the NVIDIA working-model issue: it went out unresolved, so it is now a live screening topic rather than a pre-cleared one. Also unasked: the Zürich compensation figure — the posting's $175–350k is a US/NY pay-transparency disclosure. |

## Current targeting notes

- SBB Niveau K/L is SBB-specific. The reported approximate CHF 145k K ceiling is not a salary anchor for other employers.
- Assess headroom and total package: working time, holidays, office days, commute and verified benefits. Never decline a Thun-area role on salary band alone.
- Childcare-cost coverage at the Swiss Army/Kdo Cy remains unverified; confirm before pricing it.
- Norway remains open selectively; the Swiss compensation threshold does not automatically apply there.
- An interview does not prove how an ATS or recruiter evaluated the application. No causal inference from a single conversion.
