Enviar-me por email Guardar

At mgm, we have been developing complex enterprise software solutions for over three decades and rely on model-driven software development with low code platform A12. Our more than 1.000 colleagues at 19 international locations are united by a passion for digitization. Our projects are wide-ranging:

• In the Public Sector we develop, among other things, the largest, digital platform for the interaction of millions of citizens and the tax administration. Our solutions add real value in driving the digitization of public processes and supporting public authorities in implementing the Online Access Act (OZG) in Germany.
• For us, retail does not only consist of international online stores, but also includes complex solutions for goods flow, logistics, digital marketplaces and e-food.
• Industrial insurers and brokers are able to digitize their product portfolios and conduct business online with partners and customers and build their own platforms thanks to our solutions.

Based on our technology, we continuously develop our own tools and solutions to make enterprise software development processes more efficient and to ensure consistent quality. Topics such as model-driven development, lean application security, accessibility, user experience (UI/UX), performance optimization and containerization are what make an exciting project for us.

Your Tasks

• You will independently deploy new cloud and virtualisation technologies (e.g. Apache CloudStack, Proxmox, KVM) into production
• You will independently develop solutions for requirements that go beyond existing standards and implement these as automated processes
• You analyse and resolve system failures, incidents and disruptions, and identify the root causes of faults
• You are responsible for migrating system landscapes, including dependency analyses, modelling technical relationships (e.g. Graphviz, Draw.io) and CI/CD-based rollout strategies
• You automate and document operational processes (e.g. disaster recovery, patching, deployments), proactively coordinate with other teams, share experiences and lessons learnt (e.g. via Confluence, team meetings) and keep key knowledge bases up to date
• You ensure the reliability of routine operations by testing and simulating processes in advance, and by managing rollbacks and user communication effectively

What You Should Bring

• You have extensive experience in cloud and virtualisation technologies within a Linux environment (Apache Cloud Stack (ACS), Proxmox, KVM, Ansible, Terraform)
• You can analyse technical challenges independently and implement innovative automation approaches (e.g. using Python, PowerShell) in CI/CD pipelines
• You have expertise in incident and fault diagnosis, as well as in using logging, monitoring and orchestration tools (e.g. ELK, Prometheus, Ansible)
• You have a deep, systemic understanding of complex dependency structures, as well as experience in planning and automating migrations and rollouts
• You approach routine tasks with a high degree of reliability, diligence and foresight, documenting this through systematic change and release management (Jira, ITSM, Git) and confidently utilising rollback mechanisms
• On-call duties are no problem for you; you remain calm under time pressure and communicate professionally with both internal and external stakeholders
• Fluency in English round off your profile

We Offer

• Unique opportunity to make an impact in the early phase of building up a new mgm location
• Friendly and flat organization
• Access to internal and external trainings and our eLearning platform with internal content
• Flexible working hours and not office-bound mobile work arrangement
• 25 days of vacation (and 1 extra day per year in the company, with a cap on 30 days)
• Workation option: Work at one of the 15 EU locations for up to three months per year
• Competitive salary with an annual review
• German course paid by mgm
• We provide meal allowance for a daily lunch
• 40€ monthly transportation allowance
• Summer and Christmas parties, team events and onboarding events

We only accept applications of candidates that live in Portugal already and have a valid working VISA.
