Schuberg Philis is a Dutch IT company founded in 2003 that designs, builds, and operates mission-critical technology systems for organisations where downtime is not an option. Its clients include banks, energy companies, retailers, public institutions, and government bodies - sectors where the continuous operation of underlying technology is directly tied to business or public function.
The company employs more than 350 engineers who work in self-organising teams, each taking end-to-end ownership of the environments they run. That model extends beyond delivery: teams assume full operational responsibility for client systems after go-live, working alongside clients rather than at arm's length. Core technical domains include cloud-native platform engineering, secure software development, resilience and high-availability engineering, and systems reliability.
Schuberg Philis distinguishes its approach by requiring engineers to understand not just the technology they operate, but the business functions those systems support. The internal culture emphasises craftsmanship and collaborative ownership - qualities reflected in the expectation that engineers contribute across the full lifecycle of a system, from architecture through live operations.
