    • an appreciative corporate culture and trustful teamwork with like-minded specialists, as well as great working conditions (extensive personnel development measures, an occupational pension scheme, weekly language courses, a Deutschland ticket, health promotion, support on children care, eldercare, hybrid working model and many more)
    • exciting and diverse challenges in an innovative and international environment, within the framework of a crisis-resistant permanent contract with the world’s market leader in its sector
    • last but not least extremely friendly and supportive colleagues

Benefits

This is important to us

  • 3-5 years in agile leadership or senior technical roles with a track record of managing complex projects and leading cross-functional teams, supported by strong communication, coaching, and team-building skills.
  • Solid engineering background with experience in DevOps (CI/CD, monitoring), Linux/Docker/Kubernetes, automation using Python/PHP/Go, as well as practical knowledge of SQL/ORM, REST APIs, and clean-code principles (SOLID, DRY, KISS), including event-driven architectures.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, Ansible), cloud networking (AWS/Azure/GCP), and key routing and switching protocols such as BGP, OSPF, and VLANs.

Even more important to us than your professional qualifications are your passion for the technical possibilities of automation, your commitment to lifelong learning, and your strong sense of teamwork. Your mindset is guided by the question: “How is my team doing today, and what can I do to help them perform even better?"
