• Experience with technologies in the Data & AI domain, particularly Databricks
• Knowledge in areas such as cloud networking, identity & access management, security, and governance
• Basic software development skills, e.g., with Python, as well as experience handling APIs and automation
• Experience with Git and CI/CD
• A solid understanding of the requirements that data, analytics, ML, and AI workloads place on a modern platform
• A completed degree in Computer Science, Business Informatics, or a comparable qualification
• The ability to quickly learn new technologies and apply them purposefully
• A structured, self-reliant, and solution-oriented way of working
• Very good German skills (C2) and good English skills

What we would also be happy to see:

• Experience with Databricks Unity Catalog and governance concepts
• Experience with Azure Private Link, VNet Integration, or comparable AWS networking concepts
• Knowledge of Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or comparable CI/CD solutions
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, or other data platform technologies
• Experience with Landing Zones, platform blueprints, or standardized cloud deployments
• Experience in client projects and technical architecture workshops
• Certifications in the context of Databricks, Azure, or AWS

Why us?

Are you looking to design and build modern Data & AI platforms in the cloud and actively shape the technical future for our clients?

Do you think in terms of platforms and architectures, enjoy working hands-on with Infrastructure as Code, and want to create sustainable foundations for data and AI applications?

What awaits you with us: High-end tech & genuine appreciation:

• Modern Platform Engineering: You will design and automate scalable cloud Data & AI platforms on Azure or AWS. We rely on clean code (e.g., with Terraform/OpenTofu), CI/CD, and reusable platform blueprints—no quick-and-dirty hacks.
• Databricks & Governance Excellence: Whether it's Unity Catalog, workspaces, cloud networking (such as Private Link), or Identity & Access Management—you will design secure, high-performance Databricks environments based on top best practices.
• Steep Learning Curve toward Core Expertise: We actively support your growth from specialist to trusted advisor. Further certifications (e.g., Databricks, Azure, AWS) are fully covered by us!
• Creative Freedom & Client Contact: You will develop target architectures, facilitate architecture workshops, and advise clients in equal footing during the implementation of their Data & AI strategies.
• Best-in-Class Setup: Work with state-of-the-art cloud technologies, cutting-edge tools, and premium equipment.
• Genuine Team Culture: International exchange, mutual support, and flat hierarchies. We collaborate on technical concepts and enjoy celebrating success together.
• Work-Life Balance & Flexibility: We embrace flexible working models—depending on the team and department, our colleagues work hybrid or remote-only. For this role, a hybrid model with 2 fixed work-from-home days per week is preferred to achieve the ideal balance of focus time and personal interaction. In the case of an absolute perfect match, we are naturally open to a full-remote option.
