Your role in the team

  • You build cloud infrastructures and resources in Microsoft Azure for our customers, connect networks and data sources, and seamlessly integrate everything into the overall architecture.
  • You implement Infrastructure as Code with Terraform yourself, including deployments, and use CI/CD to ensure clean and robust processes.
  • You provide technical leadership to the growing cloud team, which currently consists of three engineers.
  • You establish standards and best practices for cloud projects so that every customer receives faster and more reliable delivery.
  • You will further develop our cloud offering, bring fresh ideas to our portfolio, and identify opportunities for our customers.
  • You work closely with our Data & AI Engineers to ensure that cloud infrastructure, data platforms such as Databricks, and AI solutions work together seamlessly.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • A completed degree in computer science, business informatics, or a comparable qualification.

Qualifications

  • Good understanding of networking, security, and connecting data sources in cloud environments.
  • Organizational skills and strong communication: You keep track of the big picture and explain complex topics clearly, both within the team and to non-technical audiences.
  • Very good German skills (native speaker or C1 level with proof) and good English skills.

Experience

  • 4 to 5 years of professional experience in cloud engineering, ideally with a focus on Microsoft Azure.
  • Solid experience with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform, as well as CI/CD and DevOps principles.
  • Experience with Databricks is a major plus. Knowledge of AWS or Snowflake is also welcome.
  • Consulting experience is highly desirable. Above all, you should enjoy interacting with customers.
  • Leadership experience is not a must. What matters is that you’re eager to take on responsibility and help others grow professionally.

What we offer

  • Projects with real impact instead of make-work.
  • Working with state-of-the-art data and AI technologies such as Databricks and Microsoft Fabric.
  • A team that’s passionate about data and will bring you along for the ride.
  • Space to learn, experiment, and grow.
  • Choose between JobRad and the Deutschlandticket (Urban Sports Club coming soon!).
  • 3 days of working from home per week.
  • Modern office with two office spaces in the heart of Cologne-Ehrenfeld – plenty of restaurants for lunch are within walking distance.
