Your role in the team
- Together with your team, you ensure that our product teams can always rely on a stable, secure, and high-performance infrastructure - from the hardware in the rack to the service they access via self-service.
- Operation, further development, and lifecycle management of our virtualization platform, as well as the replacement of Red Hat Virtualization/oVirt (KVM).
- Administration of our SAN/storage landscape including FC fabric, zoning, and LUN mapping for heterogeneous hosts as well as capacity and expansion planning.
- Design, implementation, and regular testing of backup and disaster recovery procedures – ensuring we can quickly resume operations in case of an emergency.
- Hardware lifecycle in data centers: procurement, installation and decommissioning, initial configuration, EOL tracking, as well as planning and executing maintenance.
- Ensuring the IT security of the infrastructure, including hardening, patch management, and firmware management.
- Development of self-service offerings (e.g., provisioning of VMs, storage, and networks) so that stream-aligned teams can operate according to the 'You build it, you run it' principle.
- Automation of recurring tasks (e.g., with Ansible or Terraform) and targeted reduction of technical debt.
- Maintenance of documentation and runbooks as well as active knowledge transfer within the team to ensure that critical know-how is shared across multiple shoulders.
- Close collaboration with product teams, architects, and security experts: gathering requirements, collecting feedback, and aligning our Core Platform services accordingly.
- Participation in the qualification of infrastructure in the regulated medical technology environment.
Our expectations of you
Education
- Completed degree in Computer Science or a comparable qualification.
Qualifications
- Excellent knowledge of VMware vSphere/ESXi.
- Lifecycle thinking: capacity planning, EOL tracking, and proactive renewal planning.
- Enjoyment of working directly in the data center and willingness to participate in scheduled maintenance operations.
- Hands-on mentality, structured and meticulous working style, as well as strong service and customer orientation.
- Very good German and good English skills.
Experience
- Several years of professional experience in data center infrastructure operations - as a T-shaped generalist with breadth across virtualization, storage, and networking, and depth in at least one of these areas.
- Extensive experience with Linux-based enterprise virtualization, ideally Red Hat Virtualization/oVirt or KVM – a strong KVM/Linux foundation is sufficient for us, and you will learn the rest with us.
- Solid SAN/Storage fundamentals (FC fabric, Zoning, LUN mapping, array administration) - Your cross-vendor understanding is more important to us than experience with a specific manufacturer.
- Experience with Backup and Disaster Recovery as an engineering discipline: You plan, test, and document recovery processes instead of just monitoring backup jobs.
What we offer
- Freedom of design in building a true platform organization based on the 'Platform as a Product' principle - with direct influence on the stability and speed of the entire domain.
- Membership in an international company that saves lives with its medical devices and helps people lead longer and better lives.
- Permanent employment and attractive collective agreement salaries (IG Metall) including collective bargaining benefits, such as 30 days of vacation.
- Option for remote work and flexible working hours.
- Intensive onboarding including a welcome event and buddy program.
- Travel allowance for public transportation or free employee parking spaces as well as secured bicycle storage at the location.
- Jobrad (company bike leasing).
- Employee cafeterias with a fresh and diverse gastronomic offering.
- Active health management, e.g., health days, company doctor, vaccination opportunities.
- Corporate benefits such as sports and networking offers within our BIOTRONIK teams and employee groups, as well as company pension schemes and a disability insurance.
- Exclusive employee discounts, including savings at fitness chains, for travel, or fashion brands.
