- You build reusable Terraform modules and manage remote state, versioning, and promotion across environments
- You design and automate CI/CD for infrastructure and platform changes (validation, testing, security scans, approvals)
- You operate the platform with a reliability and cost-conscious mindset: observability / alerting, cost guardrails, drift detection, and disaster recovery.
- You implement security and networking by design (RBAC / managed identities, network segmentation, private endpoints, DNS, policies)

- Strong networking fundamentals: VNets, subnetting, DNS, firewalls / NSGs, private endpoints
- Ideally, experience with DevOps / DataOps best practices: code reviews, automated validation / security scanning (e.g., tflint, tfsec, Checkov), policy-as-code, drift detection
- Bonus: Data engineering experience with Spark / Databricks (PySpark / SQL), ETL / ELT, Delta Lake / Lakehouse, analytics modeling (star scheme; Power BI), orchestration
- Structured, self-directed, collaborative, and solution-oriented; strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders; fluent in English; German is beneficial
