  • You analyze business and technical requirements, translate them into implementable user stories/epics and coordinate dependencies transparently with all stakeholders.

  • Experience in cloud/container environments and a solid understanding of operations, monitoring and security fundamentals in distributed systems.
  • Strong communication and moderation skills in order to clarify requirements, involve stakeholders and convey technical topics in an understandable manner.

  • Practice with modern toolchains (Git, CI/CD, testing) as well as the willingness to set standards and measurably improve quality in the team.
