The impact you will create:

• Stability & reliability: You are responsible for maintaining and optimizing the stability and availability of our highly available, resilient storage infrastructure (Block, Object, Backup and File storage). You ensure this through proactive monitoring, solving occurring incidents on your own responsibility and avoiding their occurrence in the future
• Automation: You automate the provisioning and operating processes in the storage environment with your own aspiration to become a little better every day and to continuously optimize our products.
• Architecture: With your team, you support a robust and efficient storage architecture – because it is important to you to build a long-term stable and reliable solution that our customers like to use.
• End-to-end responsibility: Identifying with the products we provide to our customers is very important to us. That is why we actively practice end-to-end responsibility and receive support from many internal STACKIT service teams to refine our services.
• Performance and capacity planning: You will analyze and optimize the performance of our existing systems regarding future scaling of the landscape. This also includes forward-looking capacity planning.
• Incident and post-mortem analysis: You take care of the processing of (major) incidents with storage participation as part of the incident & problem management process of STACKIT with the aim of deriving mitigating measures for the future and then successfully implementing them.
