  • They create comprehensible documentation, promote knowledge exchange (pairing, reviews, brown bags) and support teammates in onboarding.
  • They work closely with product, security, data and operations to ensure that data protection, compliance and security requirements are taken into account at an early stage.
  • They take over end-to-end ownership for features or services – from requirements reception to design/implementation to stable transfer to productive operation.
  • They optimize performance, costs and scaling, evaluate technical options and document architectural decisions in an understandable and audit-ready manner.
  • They analyze professional and technical requirements, translate them into implementable user stories/epics and coordinate dependencies transparently with all stakeholders.
  • They consistently implement observability (logging, metrics, tracing), derive concrete improvements from incidents and sustainably reduce error classes (RCA/problem management).

Your profile

  • They bring relevant experience for Platform Engineering and can lead complex projects into the implementation in a structured manner.
  • Experience in cloud/container environments and a solid understanding of operations, monitoring and security fundamentals in distributed systems.
  • Strong communication and moderation capability to clarify requirements, involve stakeholders and communicate technical topics in an understandable way.
  • Very good knowledge of German or English in words and writing as well as the ability to work effectively even in distributed teams.
  • Practice with modern toolchains (Git, CI/CD, Testing) as well as the willingness to set standards and improve the quality in the team measurably.
  • Very good understanding of software architecture, interfaces (API design) and data models as well as the ability to justify technical decisions in a comprehensible way.
  • Several years of experience in a comparable role with demonstrable success in the implementation of complex projects in production-critical environments.

  • Attractive compensation package with additional benefits and – depending on the role – bonus/premium components; transparent salary bands are lived practice.
  • High home office flexibility (remote/hybrid) including modern hardware equipment as well as professional toolchain for communication, planning and delivery.
  • 30 days of vacation (or comparable) as well as additional benefits around health, wellbeing and ergonomic work in the home office.
  • Flexible working hours and an environment that combines results orientation with sustainable work-life balance – including transparent goals and realistic planning.
  • Short decision-making processes, a high level of personal responsibility and the opportunity to design topics with real impact – instead of just working through tickets.
  • Structured induction (onboarding plan, mentoring) and a clear development path with regular feedback cycles and training opportunities.
  • Further education budget for trainings, certifications and conferences so that you can continuously expand your role in terms of expertise and methodology.
