Employment Details

Start: As soon as possible
Contract: Unlimited
Hours: Full‑time (40h/week)

About the Role

You will design, build, and own a hybrid Internal Developer Platform for product teams ranging from on‑premises infrastructure in our own data center to Azure Cloud.

Consistently automate infrastructure and platform services as product components using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform , Ansible ) and provide standardized, reusable CI/CD pipelines.
Design and operate a scalable container and Kubernetes platform and establish self‑service standards that enable product teams to take full end‑to‑end ownership of their applications (“You build it, you run it”).
Integrate observability, security, and compliance by default (monitoring, logging, DevSecOps) into the platform and focus on sustainable root‑cause analysis instead of purely reactive incident handling.
Gradually modernize existing legacy systems into contemporary platform and operating models (containerization, cloud and Kubernetes runtimes) and drive the maturity of our processes forward.
Take responsibility for architectural decisions and platform ownership and act as a technical sparring partner for development teams, product owners, and other stakeholders.

Qualifications

Ability to pragmatically modernize organically grown system landscapes and accompany this change as a continuous transformation and product process — not a one‑off project.

Structured way of working, active knowledge sharing, and a strong desire to proactively challenge existing solutions and improve them sustainably.
Very good German and English language skills (written and spoken).
