User decision 2026-09-11. The requirement floor is HF/FH or Techniker HF; no
university degree is asked for at all, and he holds an M.Eng.
Level evidence, from Kdo Cy own postings on the same board: every LK 24 role
requires a Hochschul-/Fachhochschul-/Universitaetsabschluss, LK 26 requires a
Studium at FH/UNI/ETH, and LK 18 roles require an Informatik-EFZ. This posting
sits between the EFZ tier and the degree tier - roughly LK 20-22 - while its own
Lohnklasse field said "Keine Angabe". Against ~135k that is very likely a pay
cut: the EPA Lohntabelle 2026 maxima are LK 20 131,870 / LK 21 137,341 /
LK 22 142,832, and those are CEILINGS, not entry salaries.
Recorded emphatically as NOT a capability rejection. Technically this was the
cleanest fit in the log for a DevOps/platform role - Ansible required and BS-6
is intensive including self-written plugins, plus Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC and
observability - and it carried NO networking line, the gap that killed RUAG
Principal System Engineering, RUAG System Engineer C5I and the NVIDIA hard gate.
The only gaps were vendor substitutions: RHEL vs Debian, OpenShift vs
Kubernetes, AAP vs Ansible. If a similar posting appears a level up, take it
seriously.
Generalised into memory `reference_bund_lohnklassen`: screen jobs.admin.ch roles
on the EDUCATION FLOOR first. The title hides the level - this one carried no
seniority marker at all - but the education requirement tracks the Lohnklasse
closely.
Kdo Cy as an organisation stays open: the 2026-09-10 rejection and this skip are
two requisitions, not a verdict on the employer.
