Funded expertise in the design and implementation of complex cloud architectures is an excellent feature, especially in the interaction of cloud, edge and classic infrastructures. Technological breadth brings you through knowledge of AWS, container technologies, CI/CD, DevOps as well as in topics such as API management, integration and networks; Programming or scripting skills (e.g. Python, Java, C# or PowerShell) are an additional plus. Methodically safe move in modern project and working methods (e.g. Scrum, PMI, Prince2) and have ideally acquired relevant certifications such as AWS or TOGAF. Entrepreneurial thinking, a high degree of self-responsibility as well as a good sense of priorities and time management help you to advance themes in a structured manner and to take on professional leadership in a perspective.
