Senior System Engineer - Azure & Server Platforms 80 - 100% (a)

To strengthen our Cloud Engineering team, we are looking for a new team member as a Senior System Engineer - Azure & Server Platforms 80 - 100%. In this role, you will work on the further development and operation of modern server, cloud, and identity platforms. You will consciously operate at the interface between classic system engineering and the operation of hybrid platforms, shaping the further development of automation, identity, and new technologies. The focus is on stable, secure, automated, and standardised platforms in the MSP environment.

Responsibility for topics around:

• Building, operating, and further developing cloud platforms in the MSP environment
• Active Directory, Entra ID, and fundamental identity & access management topics
• Azure Infrastructure Services
• Windows Server as well as Linux Server and Server Roles
• Planning and operating hybrid identity and infrastructure solutions between on-premises and cloud
• Development and standardisation of platform and operational models
• Implementation and further development of security, hardening, and patch strategies

Collaboration on topics such as:

• Conditional Access, MFA, and identity security
• Domain and tiering concepts
• Group policies and server hardening
• Patch management (e.g. Azure Update Manager, SCCM, Ansible)
• Monitoring, logging, and security events
• Automation of recurring tasks and operational processes with PowerShell, Azure, and other tools
• Analysis and resolution of complex faults in the areas of identity, server, and infrastructure
• Collaboration on multi-tenant and standardisation approaches in MSP operations
• Technical support of projects from conception to handover to operations
• Close cooperation with the entire platform team

This is how you succeed:

• Several years of experience as a system engineer in infrastructure, identity, or cloud

Very good knowledge in:

• Active Directory and Entra ID
• Windows Server

Good knowledge in:

• Azure Infrastructure Services

• Automation and scripting (e.g. PowerShell)
• You have a strong interest in automating recurring tasks and simplifying processes
• You can analyse complex contexts and solve them in a structured way
• You work independently, document thoroughly, and think beyond the individual case

Your Additional Benefits

• A central role in building and operating modern identity and cloud platforms
• Direct collaboration with cloud engineering, security, and project teams
• The opportunity to actively shape standards, security concepts, and platforms
• Exciting topics around hybrid cloud, platform operation, automation, security, and identity
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working models
• Short decision-making paths and an environment where clean solutions count

We are not looking for someone who only processes tickets, manages individual systems, or executes orders. We are looking for someone who understands server, cloud, and infrastructure platforms holistically, thinks structurally, and develops stable, secure, automated, and operable solutions in the MSP environment. Topics such as identity and security are part of a holistic platform understanding, as are Azure, Windows and Linux servers, patch management, and automation.

• Flexible working hours with a 40-hour week and part-time options
