Job summary

T-Systems Iberia is seeking a seasoned software/DevOps engineer to analyze OpenStack-style services, map APIs, dependencies, and operational flows. You will use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate navigation, documentation, and backlog item generation for large repos.

You will collaborate with DevOps, testing, security, and architecture teams to validate findings, identify technical debt, and craft concise, evidence-backed reports for delivery teams.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in software engineering, cloud platform engineering, DevOps-oriented development, or technical software handover roles.
• Strong Python skills plus experience in at least one backend or system language such as Go, Java, C, C++, or Rust.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools for codebase exploration, documentation generation, refactoring support, or build issue triage.
• Good understanding of OpenStack-derived architectures, cloud control planes, distributed services, APIs, CI/CD, container delivery, and Linux-based environments.

Responsibilities

• Analyse OpenStack-style services and surrounding components to map APIs, configuration flows, service dependencies, database usage, and operational assumptions.
• Use AI coding agents to accelerate code navigation, call-flow reconstruction, interface analysis, and technical documentation across large multi-repository environments.
• Support build and test diagnosis for selected services, including dependency resolution, container build issues, runtime configuration gaps, and reproducibility problems.
• Create structured service handover artefacts such as service maps, dependency notes, API summaries, risk observations, and onboarding documents for receiving teams.
• Work with DevOps, testing, security, and architecture specialists to validate AI-assisted findings and turn them into actionable engineering backlog items.
• Identify technical debt, maintainability risks, hidden coupling, missing documentation, and areas where automated analysis should be complemented by expert review.
