Job Summary
In this role, you will develop cloud-native architectures on Azure, lead projects, design internal developer platforms, and enhance developer experience through Azure services and Kubernetes management.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- We build Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) and cloud-native AI platforms on Microsoft Azure that make development teams faster, safer, and more efficient.
- As a Cloud Solution Architect in our Platform Engineering team, you serve as the bridge between customer requirements and technical reality: you design target architectures, lead projects technically, accompany our customers from the vision to stable operation - and stay close enough to the implementation to know what you're talking about.
- The focus of your role is on architecture, consulting, and technical project responsibility.
- At the same time, you work closely with our Cloud Native Development, Developer Productivity Team, and Managed Services Team to holistically optimize Developer Experience, security, operations, and delivery end-to-end — and you help shape how we communicate externally on topics such as Platform Engineering, Agentic DevOps, and AI-powered Engineering.
- You design cloud-native architectures on Azure - landing zones, AKS platforms, GitOps operating models, IaC strategies - and make technical trade-offs decisive for clients.
- You design Internal Developer Platforms (e.g., with GitHub, Crossplane, Backstage, or similar) as well as cloud-native AI platforms and continuously improve developer experience, security, and compliance.
- You develop target images, migration paths, and roadmaps, and implement them technically together with the team.
- You lead projects and subprojects technically, coordinate stakeholders, and are responsible for achieving technical objectives — without disciplinary personnel responsibility.
- You architecturally seamlessly integrate Agentic DevOps and AI-based tooling into delivery and operational processes—traceable, secure, and controllable.
- You are developing yourself prospectively towards Principal Architect or taking on professional responsibility for a consulting focus.
- Customer contact at eye level: requirements analysis, architecture reviews, decision-making basis.
- Conducting workshops (Azure architectures, Platform Engineering, Agentic DevOps, GitOps, CI/CD, Platform Standards).
- Development of target images, roadmaps, and best practices.
- Assessment of existing environments including security, compliance, and operability.
- You recognize technical and organizational risks early and communicate them transparently.
- Empowering customer teams instead of creating dependencies.
- Setup, development, and maintenance of Azure environments, including Landing Zones, network, and identity concepts.
- Kubernetes/AKS Engineering: Cluster Design, Upgrades, Security, Observability.
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Bicep.
- GitOps implementation (e.g., Argo CD/Flux), Helm/Kustomize, and secret management.
- CI/CD with GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps.
- Gold Paths & Blueprints: Design and maintain standardized self-service environments with GitHub, Backstage, and Crossplane.
- Observability & Monitoring: End-to-end observability with Azure Monitor, Prometheus, and Grafana.
- Integration of Agentic DevOps, AI-based Engineering & Tooling into Dev and Ops workflows.
- Support of our support team in third-level operation of customer environments.
- Sparring partner for our Managed Services team in technical escalations.
- Development of solution sketches and architecture designs for customer inquiries and tenders.
- Effort estimation and realistic project scope.
- Technical support for client meetings and pitches.
- Support in the handover of completed projects to the implementation team.
- Co-development of reusable consulting and workshop formats.
- Blog posts and technical deep dives for our blog.
- Lectures at conferences, meetups, and webinars.
- Engagement in the Cloud-Native & Open-Source Community.
- Technical content about our own products - with substance rather than marketing buzzwords.
