Job Summary
In this role, you design the infrastructure roadmap, migrate on-premise environments to the cloud, and optimize networks and security controls using AWS, Azure, and various other tools.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You assume end-to-end responsibility for our infrastructure vision and roadmap, including how the components currently interact and how they should evolve.
- By migrating from on-premise environments to the cloud (AWS), you modernize our internal infrastructure and reduce risks for internal services. In doing so, you define patterns and guardrails that others can reuse.
- You design and develop our network infrastructure further, ensuring segmentation, resilience, and operational readiness.
- You review and enhance the standards for monitoring, backup/restore, and observability (e.g., PRTG, Datadog, AWS CloudWatch) to ensure reliability and recoverability.
- Together with our IT Security Specialist and the Information Security Officer, you translate security requirements into practical controls — from firewall policies to Identity & Access (Azure AD/ID, on-premises AD).
- You plan and manage the infrastructure budget, optimize cloud costs, and make well-informed make-or-buy decisions.
- Hands-on remains part of the role: You support migrations, work closely with Cloud Engineers, and assist in resolving complex incidents where architectural context is crucial.
- You lead projects and, when necessary, provide technical guidance to small project teams to deliver milestones on time and with quality assurance.
- You work closely with internal stakeholders (Team Lead IT Administration, entire IT Infrastructure Team) as well as cross-departmental partners within Shopware (e.g., Information Security Officer, Product), coordinate plans, and ensure the safe sequencing of changes.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You have 2-3 years of experience in a comparable architecture/leadership role overseeing cloud and on-premises infrastructures.
- Your broad technical expertise enables you to think holistically about network, identity, compute, storage, backup/DR, and security, and to make pragmatic, scalable decisions.
- Cloud competence - especially AWS - as well as vCenter, Azure AD/ID, and on-premises AD enable you to confidently manage migrations and hybrid setups.
- Strong planning and stakeholder management skills help you coordinate roadmaps, anticipate bottlenecks early, and ensure accountability as well as timely implementation.
- Security is an integral part of your work: You translate policies into enforceable, verifiable controls across the entire stack.
- Communication is one of your strengths: you clearly explain complex trade-offs, tailor your messages from executive briefings to technical specifications, and align teams behind a plan.
- Very good command of English, both spoken and written, is required; German is a significant advantage but not a prerequisite.
- Willingness to travel for regular appointments at our campus in Schöppingen completes your profile.
Experience
- You are confident in IaC, enterprise networking, VPN, and monitoring stacks; we use Terraform, SonicWall, Cisco Meraki, Tailscale, as well as PRTG/Datadog/CloudWatch - experience with comparable tools is equally valuable.
