Job Summary
In this role, you lead an innovative team, develop security strategies for virtualized network architectures and databases, and drive important transformation projects forward together with your team.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a visionary and motivating leader for the management of the IT team "Virtualized Network Architectures and Databases" (Department T 14).
- As a leader of dedicated and highly qualified employees, you provide impulses for strategic and organizational development through active management of change and transformation processes, including a clear vision for the overall task.
- You actively work on the security and digital sovereignty of national communication infrastructures by promoting the use of Zero-Trust principles as well as modern technologies such as Software-Defined Networking, Artificial Intelligence, and Automation.
- Together with your team, you design security guidelines, standards, and building blocks for the database and infrastructure environment, particularly for virtualized network architectures and database systems.
- In Department T 14, you operate a state-of-the-art laboratory environment specifically designed for in-depth security analyses of virtualized network architectures and database-based systems.
- Analyzing complex attack scenarios, developing robust security architectures, and creating proofs of concept are just as much a part of your daily routine as intensive technical exchanges with other teams within the BSI and external partners from research, administration, and industry.
- Your goal: to assess current threat situations based on technical expertise, develop effective security policies and recommendations, and actively promote their implementation.
- You confidently represent your team and the subject area "Virtualized Network Architectures and Databases" – both internally and externally – and are a central point of contact for stakeholders from administration, research, and industry.
- They actively promote collaboration with research institutions, companies, and professional communities, establish new contacts, and strategically expand existing networks — always with a focus on current developments in secure networks and databases.
- They initiate and manage development, implementation, and pilot projects related to virtualized network architectures and security-critical database systems - from the idea through the concept to successful implementation.
- They are responsible for laboratory work: developing realistic test scenarios and analyzing security-critical components — thereby laying the foundation for future-proof security standards.
