## About the Role

* Proven experience in building and operating modern platforms, ideally in hybrid environments (on-premises & Azure)
 * Deep expertise in Kubernetes, container ecosystems, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
 * Several years of experience with CI/CD platforms (especially GitLab or GitHub), designing automated workflows that reduce developers' cognitive load and improve the developer experience
 * The ability to pragmatically modernize organically grown system landscapes and to accompany this change as a continuous transformation and product process - not a one-off project
 * Experience with observability stacks (LGTM) as well as security practices (e.g., SAST, dependency scanning)
 * A 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)

## Description

* You design, build, and own our hybrid Internal Developer Platform for product teams - ranging from on-premises infrastructure in our own data center to the Azure Cloud.
 * You consistently automate infrastructure and platform services as product components using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible) and provide standardized, reusable CI/CD pipelines.
 * You design and operate our 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").
 * You 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.
 * You gradually modernize existing legacy systems into contemporary platform and operating models (containerization, cloud and Kubernetes runtimes) and drive the maturity of our processes forward.
 * You take responsibility for architectural decisions and platform ownership and act as a technical sparring partner for development teams, product owners, and other stakeholders., Terraform · Ansible · GitLab · ArgoCD · Kubernetes · Docker · Azure · Nexus · SonarQube · Dependency Track · Linux · Observability (LGTM Stack) · On-Prem Infrastructure (Colocation)
