Cloud Engineer (Azure)

Workload: 60% -100%
Duration: 6 months
Language: English (German not required)

This role strongly requires hands-on Azure experience and a clear willingness to work in Operations & Support.

Candidates must be comfortable taking operational responsibility, handling incidents, and ensuring stable day-to-day operations of cloud infrastructure.

What You’ll Do

• Keep cloud infrastructure services running reliably and act as the primary contact when issues arise
• Monitor systems, investigate incidents, and resolve infrastructure problems across Azure cloud and on‑prem environments
• Take over operational responsibilities from existing teams and establish sustainable operations through runbooks and automation
• Support R&D squads with infrastructure-related questions, onboarding, and troubleshooting
• Continuously improve operational workflows by identifying recurring issues, automating manual tasks, and reducing operational overhead
• Help evolve the service catalogue by identifying gaps, improving existing offerings, and automating repetitive work

Requirements

Mandatory

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (designing, operating, or supporting workloads)
• Willingness to work in Operations & Support as a core part of the role
• Practical experience with Linux systems
• Experience with container orchestration, especially Kubernetes
• Hands-on knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform or similar)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks
• Solid understanding of networking concepts (DNS, firewalls, VPNs, network segmentation)
• Strong sense of ownership and responsibility for running systems
• Clear ambition to grow into an infrastructure engineering role, not remain in pure support long-term
• Fluent English
