Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a DevOps Engineer (m/f/d), you work in a two-person team directly with our Director of IT and support six IT teams with infrastructure issues, provisioning, configuration management, deployments, and technical challenges.
- Our developers (m/f/d) will approach you when they need support with tricky topics.
- Together, you develop sustainable solutions, and you help the teams become technically autonomous.
- Automation is not just a buzzword for us, but the benchmark for our work — from Ansible roles to managing our Debian systems and FortiGate firewalls, to the use of modern AI tools like Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT.
- Recurring tasks are consistently automated.
- Support for IT teams: The focus is on providing technical support to our six IT teams.
- You advise on infrastructure issues, assist with deployments, and help when complex problems or technical blockages occur.
- The responsibility for the operation of their applications and services remains with the teams themselves.
- Automation: Repetitive tasks are automated - with Ansible, custom scripts, and Infrastructure as Code, you create reliable processes that operate without manual intervention.
- This automation requirement shapes both system support and collaboration with IT teams.
- System administration: Together in a two-person team, you will manage our Debian systems and the FortiGate firewall - including configuration, hardening, patching, and continuous development.
- Wherever possible, you automate repetitive tasks.
- Sparring partner for six IT teams: When our development teams reach technical limits, you are their point of contact: you analyze problems, develop solutions together with them, and pass on knowledge so that they can independently solve similar challenges in the future.
- AI in automation: Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT are part of our toolkit - strategically used to accelerate analyses, scripts, and automations.
- Development: You question existing setups, contribute your own ideas, and decide together with your colleague how our automated infrastructure and technical support for the teams will evolve.

Experience
