Job Summary
In this apprenticeship, you will learn to build modern cloud infrastructures, accompany software release processes, implement automations, and develop AI-supported systems that efficiently contribute to operations and troubleshooting.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Your areas of training. This is where you will grow into:
- Together with your trainers and mentors, you will master these core areas step by step:
- Cloud Infrastructure: You will learn about the setup, automation, and operation of our modern Cloud-Native stack.
- From code to live system: You oversee the journey of new software releases from code to production, monitor performance, and learn how to keep systems stable.
- Automation: You will learn how to make repetitive manual tasks more efficient through code and automation — and why we don't want to do things manually that machines can reliably handle.
- AI & Autonomous Systems: You learn to use AI for development, analysis, troubleshooting, and automation. As you gain experience, you will also explore how AI agents independently perform tasks and how such autonomous systems can be operated, monitored, and controlled safely.
- Team Support: You will assist us in the development and operation of new products and, over the course of your training, become a competent point of contact for cloud, platform, and automation topics.
- What you can expect. Your tech stack to learn:
- Initial experience with IT is a plus but not a requirement. Whether through personal projects, school, or an internship, if you have already had some exposure to IT, you can build on that with us and learn how to turn it into practical skills.
- Kubernetes: Insights into the design and operation of modern SaaS workloads.
- Infrastructure as Code: Introduction to modern infrastructure management with Terraform/OpenTofu and Helm.
- GitOps: Continuous software deployment with Argo CD or Rancher Fleet.
- CI/CD pipelines: Contributing to the development and maintenance of automated build, test, and deployment pipelines.
- Observability: Understanding and leveraging logs, metrics, and alerting for system monitoring and error analysis.
- AI & Agents: AI-powered working, Large Language Models, tool-calling, and autonomous agents as components of modern IT systems.
- Security & Backups: Fundamentals of cloud security as well as testing backup & restore strategies.
- Incident Handling: Learning how to professionally and systematically deal with system disruptions and work step by step towards identifying the root cause of a problem.

Our expectations of you
Education
- Educational background: You have completed secondary education, such as a Fachhochschulreife or Realschulabschluss. We also welcome applicants who have dropped out of university and realized they prefer to work practically on real systems. For us, it's not just about your certificate but especially your technical interest and your ability to learn.
Qualifications
- What you bring to the table:
- IT Enthusiasm: You have no fear of lines of code, enjoy tinkering on your PC, and persist until you understand why something works — or why it doesn't.
- Technical curiosity: Maybe you've already set up your own server, built a homelab, installed Linux, experimented with Docker or virtual machines, assembled hardware, repurposed a Raspberry Pi, written a small tool, or simply taken a system apart out of curiosity.
- AI as a tool: You don't just want to use AI to get ready-made answers. You want to understand how to use it as a tool to develop faster, analyze problems, and build new things. We are looking for people who can build more with AI than without it.
- Willingness to learn: You are eager to see mistakes as learning opportunities, to independently investigate causes, and to continuously develop yourself.
- What matters more to us is how you think, learn, and approach technical problems than how well you can sell yourself.
- Because the IT sector we are training you for is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation, as AI is increasingly supporting our work and taking over more tasks independently. As a result, technical challenges do not disappear but shift.
- We want to prepare you to understand, build, operate, and keep under control the cloud platforms, automations, and autonomous systems of tomorrow.
Experience
- Initial IT touchpoints: You bring theoretical or practical foundational knowledge - for example, Linux basics, initial scripts or programming experience, Docker, networks, hardware, or other experiences from leisure, internships, or school.

What we offer
- What we offer you for your start:
- Structured training: A fixed mentoring model where an experienced trainer supports you in everyday work.
- High likelihood of permanent employment: We train for our own needs and would like to offer you a permanent position upon successful completion.
- Targeted Development: We support you with exam preparations and useful cloud certifications (e.g., CKA/CKAD).
- Modern way of working: AI is part of our toolbox of modern IT. You will learn to use it sensibly, critically question its results, and build and automate things with its help that would have previously required significantly more manual effort.
- Team culture: flat hierarchies, direct technical exchange at eye level, and short decision-making processes.
- Flexibility: Scheduled flexibility in your working hours and modern options for remote work after onboarding.
