Job description

Welcome to KfW! As one of the world's leading promotional banks, we stand for the sustainable transformation of the environment, society and companies. As a driving force, we are actively involved in the issues that will shape the world of tomorrow. We promote wind farms, infrastructure projects, schools and hospitals, thereby shaping the future. With us, you will find a trusting working environment in which team spirit, diversity and inclusion are lived. We support you, your ideas and your commitment to projects that make the world a better place. You will find exciting IT tasks with us, because we are shaping the digital transformation using agile methods, modern infrastructure and innovative technologies.

What you can expect from us

  • Together with your team, you will be responsible for the provision, further development and support of systems on the Linux platform.
  • In daily business, you will operate and maintain the Linux servers in KfW's data centres and automate the Linux server environment using Infrastructure as a Code (IaC).
  • You ensure reliable Linux server operation in the data centres by carefully monitoring our service performance and ongoing optimisation as part of event management.
  • When it comes to error analysis, you take it seriously, initiate improvement processes and carry out root cause analyses in collaboration with Application & Technology Management, IT Performance Management and, if necessary, external providers.
  • With your expertise, you will support IT product management in product decisions, operational release maintenance (e.g. in the form of operational projects) and licence management.
  • As part of IT development projects, you will inspire with your expertise and inventiveness, for example in infrastructure-related requirements and in the testing and evaluation of component definitions.

What you bring with you

  • You will impress us with a degree in (business) informatics or a comparable qualification.
  • Thanks to many years of relevant professional experience, you will be able to take a relaxed view of the highly complex area of responsibility.
  • You will inspire your team with extensive knowledge of Infrastructure as a Code, Config Management and scripting & programming experience (Python and Ansible).
  • You will round off your skills with knowledge of Suse Linux Enterprise Server and its connection to an EMC-based SAN infrastructure, its operation under VMware ESXi 6.x, in particular vSphere Client, as well as x86 server hardware.
  • You will therefore feel equipped for the IT service operation of business-critical systems in banks on the basis of ITIL.
  • You prefer to work with agile methods, especially Kanban, with people who are as curious and determined as you are, and with a good dose of solution-orientation outside the beaten track.
  • You communicate convincingly in writing and orally in German, our business language. A good command of English complements your profile.
