Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (flexhub) (m/f/diverse)

The company

Commerzbank is a leading international commercial bank with branches and offices in almost 50 countries. The world is changing, becoming digital, and so are we. We are leaving the traditional bank behind us and we are choosing to move forward as a digital enterprise.

As part of this strategy, Commerzbank continues the expansion of its Digital Technology Center in Sofia, Bulgaria. We need motivated people who will join us on this journey and we are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer in our flexhub team.

What is flexhub?

We are Commerzbank’s internal delivery capability – a team of engineers, architects, analysts and experts working directly with business units. Unlike external consultancies, we are colleagues who stay. Based in Frankfurt, Sofia, and Łódź, we drive high-priority initiatives while building internal expertise that lasts.

What’s in it for you:

Consulting variety meets corporate stability. You join different teams across the bank when your expertise is needed, then move on to the next challenge. This approach helps you build strong internal know-how and gives you the chance to contribute to meaningful work – one initiative at a time – without sales targets or utilization pressure. No selling. Just a consistent focus on engineering solutions that matter.

Your tasks:

• Designing, developing, managing and implementing cloud-based platforms, infrastructure and capabilities to support business applications (Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and relevant technologies – ideally open source);
• Designing cloud platforms with security in mind, including implementing access control and data protection strategies;
• Providing technical guidance to IT teams and stakeholders on cloud-based systems and services;
• Driving up developer experience, enhancing ability to provision, configuring and deploying applications within cloud platforms;
• Enabling application development teams to manage and optimize cloud resources to ensure high performance;
• Optimizing cloud costs while maintaining performance and security;
• Supporting the automations of cloud operations using infrastructure-as-code and cloud native tooling;
• Implementing automation and DevSecOps practices for efficient cloud operations in a Microsoft Azure or GCP infrastructure and application implementation context;
• Providing capabilities for IT support and operations teams to monitor cloud systems, ensure up time, and responding to incidents and outages promptly. Providing training where required;
• Documenting processes and procedures related to cloud platforms;
• Ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations;
• Staying updated with emerging cloud technologies and best practices and integrating them into current systems and processes;
• Supporting incident resolution and bug fixing, working with application development and operations teams;
• Working in an agile team setup, meaning the team includes business domain colleagues, business analysts, developers and application operation experts;
• Participating in scrum ceremonies (Daily, Planning, Review, Retrospectives) remotely, or in person.

Your profile:

• Strong understanding of cloud architectures, services, and best practices, for OpenShift,  Azure, GCP. Ability to recommend  and implement CSP-independent cloud solutions;
• Experience in deploying and optimizing Kubernetes clusters in cloud environments. Ability to manage operators, CRDs and advanced resources within Kubernetes;
• Proficiency in the use of infrastructure-as-code tools such as Kustomize, Terraform or Ansible;
• Core competency in networking, both for cloud and on-premise implementations;
• Knowledge of Information Security protocols, tools, best practices, including TLS/certificates, OAuth2, and cryptographic best practices. Proficiency in cloud-native IAM solutions and secrets management platforms;
• Broad experience with Linux OS and Linux commands, including scripting and programming skills in Bash, Python or other higher-level scripting languages;
• Experience in deploying/configuring messaging-oriented middleware (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ) on cloud-hosting platforms;
• Experience of software integration, testing and release on cloud platforms using GitOps with technologies such as TeamCity, Tekton and ArgoCD.

In return, we offer:

• Good work-life balance, including 25 days annual paid leave (increasing with 1 day per year up to 31 in total), flexible working hours, work from abroad and work-from-home opportunities;
• Luxury package of additional health and dental insurance;
• Food vouchers in the amount of EUR 80 monthly;
• 6 additional annual days off for exceptional circumstances;
• Employee assistance program for psychological, financial and legal consultations;
• Multisport card;
• Annual contribution of EUR 153.39 net per child for a summer camp/school/kindergarten for children up to age of 15;
• Possibilities for building career-advancing skills by covering training/certification courses and conferences based on individual learning and development needs, access to an online learning platform;
• Opportunities for long-term professional development in a stable, 150-year-old company while contributing to the vision of a new, just starting Digital Technology Center;
• Friendly and supportive multicultural environment, open to new opinions and ideas.
