You take care of onboarding, training, and developing employees, define recruiting standards and processes, and actively foster skills in frontend, DevOps, cloud, and AI.
You scale the agile processes within the department, divide the team into three independent Scrum teams, and integrate international colleagues into a unified cloud- and DevOps-oriented delivery structure.
You coordinate and implement the technical requirements in a modern cloud environment (incl. CI/CD, monitoring, security) and work closely with other departments to ensure smooth integration into the existing system landscape.
In addition, you design and prepare the Executive Board resolution on partial decryption and take on the technical implementation and verification using secure cloud services and, where appropriate, AI-supported methods.

Staying safe while you apply

Never pay to apply, interview or accept an offer. ROLIVA never asks you for payment to apply to a job.
Apply only through the official “Apply on the employer’s site” button, on the employer’s own site, and check that a recruiter’s email uses that employer’s own domain rather than a free email address.
Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
