In SaaS Operations - your future department - our strategic roadmap is summed up in one word: Scale. We need to deliver a reliable and ever evolving platform for our clients to run their business critical processes on using SimCorp’s products. To ensure the best possible position, we’re building our cloud platform operations department around the SRE principles, and you’re invited to help us build this from the ground up.
