With my experience in applying in other European countries, companies are a lot more focused on immigration status/ability to work in the country before even wanting to talk. Switzerland has its own rules, but it's much easier to work there if you're an EU citizen. Alternatively depending on your age and country of origin, you might be able to work under a youth mobility visa or something similar.
Best approach is to try. My experience is that European and Swiss companies are a bit more formal than Canadian companies and will reply to your application even if negative, while here in Canada they often can't be bothered to let you know the status of the application.
As for language, Swiss German is very different from standard German. Swiss Germans write in standard German but spoken is a different story. That being said you might find offices that operate in English.
