It requires several years of enterprise storage/backup experience, DevOps and infrastructure-as-code skills (Ansible, Python, PowerShell, REST APIs), and participation in 24/7 on-call support. German at C1 and English at B2 are required, and the position is hybrid in Berlin with flexible hours and remote work options.
