Your role in the team
- You are at OKAPI:Orbits the owner of our IT. Servers, end devices, network, Microsoft 365, security, and backups are your responsibility. This means you not only solve problems when they occur but also ensure that they do not happen in the first place.
- You recognize patterns, forecast capacities and renewals, and build systems that continue to run even when no one is watching.
- This gives you real creative freedom. There is a framework of security policies and budget coordination with management, but within this framework, you decide what our infrastructure looks like today and how it should look tomorrow.
- You are supported by an IT apprentice whom you mentor professionally.
- He is located at our site in Braunschweig, and you are in Munich, so there is someone on-site at both locations.
- Servers and Infrastructure: You operate our Ubuntu servers and the services on them, such as GitLab and SonarQube, thinking in terms of lifecycle management rather than firefighting.
- Strategic Planning: You plan hardware and server infrastructure long-term and decide what we acquire, replace, or modify and when.
- Proactive Operations: You establish monitoring, patch processes, and capacity planning in a way that issues become visible before they impact someone's workday.
- Devices: procurement, setup, and operation for Windows, Linux, and macOS, using standardized processes instead of ad hoc solutions.
- Network and Security: Network, VPN, and the implementation and further development of our IT security policies.
- Microsoft 365 and Intune: Administration of Entra ID (Azure AD), Exchange, Teams, and SharePoint as well as device management via Intune.
- Backup and Recovery: You develop backup strategies and recovery processes and test them regularly, because a backup only counts if the restoration works.
- Mentoring: You develop our trainees and pass on knowledge without doing everything yourself.
- Documentation: You document systems, decisions, and processes in a way that the knowledge remains within the team.
Our expectations of you
Education
- An IT apprenticeship or degree (e.g., Fachinformatik Systemintegration, Computer Science) or comparable proven experience.
Qualifications
- A proactive work approach: You look for the root cause instead of the next workaround and address issues before they become critical.
- Responsibility and decisiveness: You can justify decisions and costs transparently, even to management.
- Secure Linux skills, preferably Ubuntu: Server and Desktop, Shell Scripting, Package Management.
- Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, and VPN configuration (e.g., WireGuard, OpenVPN).
- IT Security: Patch Management, access rights, system hardening.
- Microsoft 365 and Intune across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Willingness to work primarily on-site in the office.
- English at least B2, because our internal communication and documentation are conducted in English.
- German from B2+ level, helpful for authorities and external service providers, but not mandatory.
Experience
- 2 to 3 years of professional experience during which you not only maintained systems but also took responsibility for them: you have planned infrastructure, made decisions, and ensured that outages do not occur in the first place.
- Hardware experience: procurement, setup, and maintenance of end devices.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Ansible or Terraform).
- Experience with Docker in operations.
- Experience in mentoring apprentices or juniors.
- Experience in a startup or scale-up environment where you not only handle administration but also actively shape and contribute.
What we offer
- Flat hierarchies and genuine autonomy—you shape your own workspace without three approval levels.
- Primarily on-site in Munich with the possibility of occasional remote work.
- Flexible working: flexitime without core hours, result-oriented instead of mandatory presence.
- Dedicated training budget for courses, certifications, and conferences.
