• Develop software and automation solutions for configuration, testing, upgrade and operation of the mobile core network.

• Develop and further develop automated delivery processes with Kubernetes, Argo CD and GitOps.

Who are you?

You like to immerse yourself technically and find smarter ways to solve complex problems. You work in a structured way, take initiative and enjoy developing solutions together with others.

We are looking for a colleague who shares knowledge, contributes to professional discussions and takes responsibility for own deliveries. You don't need to have all the answers, but you should be curious and motivated to learn.
