Job description

We are plusserver, a leading German cloud provider with the platform for digitalization "Made in Germany".  
We developed the first German Enterprise Open Source Cloud and rely on the power from our four data centres in Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Cologne. For over 25 years, we have been supporting companies and public sector clients with IT modernisation using innovative cloud services, hosting, and colocation. What drives us? Digital sovereignty – conceived, built, and operated with real enthusiasm for the IT behind it. 
  
We are currently looking for an IT Architect Storage on a permanent, full-time basis:  

Your tasks include

  • You are responsible for the new and ongoing development of modern cloud, infrastructure and storage solutions and ensure that our platforms run reliably and performantly 
  • Solution designs are just as much a part of your remit as technical implementation – from traditional enterprise storage solutions to software-defined storage and object storage 
  • You accompany products and technologies throughout their entire lifecycle, from introduction and further development to retirement, and actively contribute to product development 
  • The best part? You work with both proprietary (NetApp, Veeam) and open-source technologies like Ceph, and you have the opportunity to contribute your expertise in areas such as Kubernetes, OpenStack, and software-defined networking. 

What you bring with you

Your personality, combined with: 

  • Several years of experience in the cloud and infrastructure environment as well as sound knowledge in the administration of infrastructure systems 
  • Completed degree in computer science or comparable qualification 
  • In-depth knowledge of storage technologies and ideally experience in the enterprise storage environment 
  • Experience with Software-Defined Storage, e.g. Ceph, as well as with Object Storage and backup solutions like Veeam 
  • A preference for independent and responsible working 
  • Enthusiasm for identifying and sustainably solving problems in order to achieve high availability
  • To be responsible for the content of cost-effective and scalable storage architectures. 

We know that you may not meet all the requirements at present. However, if you join us with the right amount of commitment and enthusiasm, we can get things off the ground together and make a real impact.
