In this role, you will take the lead for operations and development of the DevOps domain in our Data Warehouse product. You will be closely integrated into our team of Data Engineers and will also have the chance to gradually expand your expertise into the data engineering domain.

Your responsibilities

• Design, implement and maintain scalable and automated data pipelines and our underlying infrastructure in Azure as well as managing and developing our CI/CD workflows, and the associated tools.
• Monitor data infrastructure performance and proactively perform troubleshooting. Additionally, develop our security and business continuity best practices in collaboration with central IT and security teams.
• Collaborate closely with central IT teams, vendors and DevOps experts across the organization to mitigate and resolve incidents, plan and perform software updates and facilitate knowledge exchange.
• Work with our architect and data engineers to further improve the user experience, drive automation and apply state‑of‑the‑art technologies.
• Join the team of data engineers and partner up to design and implement new use cases from data source to report layer. We work with top‑notch technologies like Snowflake, Matillion, Python and infrastructure tools like Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Take responsibility to ensure continuous operations of the data warehouse across all domains, ensuring daily processes run smoothly and data is readily accessible for all users.
• Enjoy a high degree of self‑responsibility and the possibility to expand your expertise towards areas of your interest.

Your profile

• Pro‑active, self‑driven team player with excellent communication skills and a broad interest across all technical domains.
• At least three years hands‑on experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable data solutions using Microsoft Azure cloud services, and in developing DevOps build and release pipelines using e.g. Git.
• Sound practical experience with cloud infrastructure troubleshooting and understanding of networking components.
• Hands‑on experience with application containerization into Kubernetes, managing Kubernetes namespaces and containers, and experience with managing VM infrastructure.
• Comfortable maintaining, patching and configuring both Linux and Windows servers as admin. Proficiency with the scripting languages Python and Bash, and with Linux will be required. Knowledge of PowerShell would be a merit.
• Experience with infrastructure provisioning and deployment using Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
• University degree in Business and Information Technology, Engineering or other related fields and fluency in English, written and spoken.

As a merit you also have

• Experience with implementing observability best practices—logging, monitoring, and alerting using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, or Azure Monitor.
• Hands‑on experience with SQL based data modelling in a cloud data warehouse environment. Previous experience with data orchestration tools, e.g. Matillion or Airflow, will further simplify your onboarding.
