About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You analyze customer requirements and translate them into scalable, secure cloud-native architectures based on Kubernetes and modern CNCF technologies.
You design and operate Kubernetes platforms from cluster design and networking (e.g., Cilium) to GitOps workflows with Argo CD or Flux CD.
You consistently use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Crossplane, Cluster API) and build CI/CD pipelines that combine security and speed.
You advise customers on migration and the creation of Internal Developer Platforms from concept to operation.
You communicate at eye level with both technical teams and management, translating technical concepts into business decisions.
You conduct architecture reviews, define standards, and actively share your knowledge within the team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You have at least 5 years of experience in cloud and platform environments and know how to operate Kubernetes in production.
You are familiar with cloud-native tooling: Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, or self-managed), Helm, Argo CD / Flux CD, Kyverno, Cert-Manager, External Secrets, or comparable projects from the CNCF ecosystem.
You bring experience with at least one hyperscaler cloud — AWS or Azure — and know how to meaningfully integrate their managed services into cloud-native architectures.
You are proficient in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Crossplane, Cluster API, or comparable tools.
Topics such as container security, RBAC, Network Policies, and regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act or NIS2 are not foreign to you.
You communicate confidently in German, can convey technical concepts clearly, and enjoy working with cross-functional teams.
You can make technical complexity understandable — whether in architecture reviews with developers or in management briefings with decision-makers. You know which language matters when.
AI competence: You have experience with cloud providers' AI services (e.g., Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI) and can advise customers on their secure and scalable integration.
Experience in the insurance, retail, or manufacturing industries is a plus.
