Senior IT Systems Administrator

Your mission You are the owner of our entire IT infrastructure — on-premises, in our co-located data center, and in the cloud — and shape it to enable our company to further grow and succeed.

You manage our hardware infrastructure and office IT, including servers, workstations, notebooks, and networking. This is a senior, hands-on role: you design and improve our infrastructure, and you carry out the technical work yourself.

Your responsibilities

• Design, implement, operate, and maintain infrastructure across on-premises environments, our co-located data center racks, and cloud services, including Microsoft 365.
• Manage the lifecycle of servers, storage systems, networking equipment, workstations, and notebooks, including provisioning, maintenance, upgrades, and decommissioning.
• Monitor system availability, capacity, and performance, particularly across network and storage infrastructure. Troubleshoot issues, identify bottlenecks, and implement improvements.
• Design and maintain identity, authentication, authorization, group membership, and access provisioning processes.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and maintenance using infrastructure-as-code and configuration-management tools such as Terraform/OpenTofu and Ansible.
• Develop scripts and small internal tools or services to automate recurring tasks, integrate systems, and improve operational workflows.
• Define and implement infrastructure security controls, backup and recovery procedures, and measures to maintain service availability and data integrity.
• Automate workstation provisioning and configuration, manage endpoint software and settings, and provide hands-on support for office IT issues.When something needs to be implemented or fixed, you take care of it directly.

Your profile

• At least five years of relevant professional experience in systems administration, IT infrastructure engineering, or a comparable role.
• Strong Linux administration skills, including troubleshooting and maintaining production systems.
• Practical experience with container technologies such as Docker or Podman.
• Experience with infrastructure as code and configuration management, for example Ansible or Terraform/OpenTofu.
• Solid knowledge of network architecture and administration, including VLANs, firewalls, routing, and VPN technologies such as WireGuard.
• Experience designing, implementing, and operating on-premises infrastructure and cloud services, including appropriate security controls. Experience with SaaS infrastructure, such as Microsoft 365, is a plus.
• A sound understanding of identity and access management, backup and recovery, and infrastructure hardening.
• A hands-on, independent, and structured way of working, with the ability to take ownership of the full lifecycle of infrastructure topics.
• Proficient English and at least B2-level German.
• Based in Munich or the surrounding area, with the ability to attend the office at short notice when on-site support is required.

Nice to have

• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Zabbix, Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry, including alerting and incident diagnosis.
• Experience deploying or operating GPU servers or GPU clusters.
• Proficiency in Python or another scripting language for operational automation.
