Jobbeschreibung

IT Systems Administrator (f/m/d) for Virtualisation and Cloud Computing

Reference No.: IT 2025/10

To meet new demands, we are restructuring and strengthening the IT Infrastructure Services (IT-IS) team responsible for running IT virtualisation systems. We currently operate several VMware ESX clusters to deliver virtual machines across a heterogeneous IT landscape. In addition to supporting these infrastructures, we need your help in setting up a cloud computing infrastructure based on OpenStack and Kubernetes. The goal is to provide scalable Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions for core IT operations and scientific IT teams.

At HZB, we are facing the exciting challenge of rethinking our entire IT infrastructure, focusing heavily on automated and containerized solutions, especially Kubernetes, for flexible, secure, and future-proof application deployment in scientific and IT areas. You will have a meaningful role with real responsibility, where your experience and ideas are valued. Together, we develop solutions that provide our scientists with the digital tools they need for future research.

Your Tasks

• Install, configure, and maintain virtualisation and cloud computing systems (ESXi, OpenStack).
• Design, implement, and optimize virtualisation and cloud infrastructures for a heterogeneous IT landscape.
• Participate in IT projects, from planning to execution.
• Continuously evaluate new technologies to enhance our modern IT platform.
• Share your expertise with colleagues through various formats.

Your Profile

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Experience with hypervisors and automation tools in cloud environments (e.g., Ansible, Terraform).
• Good knowledge of Linux operating systems, TCP/IP networks, and IT monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).
• Structured, solution-oriented work style, passion for the topic, and team spirit.
• Good communication skills in German and English (at least B2 CEFR level).

Your Benefits

• Opportunity to contribute to innovative materials and solutions for a climate-neutral future.
• Diversity and sustainability through an inclusive work environment.
• Development opportunities and training programs.
• Attractive salary according to TVöD Bund.
• 30 days holiday per year.
• Additional benefits like pension plans, transport subsidies, and sports programs.
• Good work-life balance with flexible working arrangements.
• A welcoming team eager to meet you!

The employment is unlimited, with salary based on the TVöD-Bund agreement.
