Job Technologies

Your role in the team

You take 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 capability.
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 will 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, if necessary, professionally manage 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 across 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 and 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 briefing to technical specifications, and align teams behind a plan.
Very good spoken and written English is required; German is a big 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.
