Cloud Architect (Gardener)

At T-Systems we believe that the next step in cloud will be an ecosystem of distributed workloads along edge locations and central datacenters for compute-intensive tasks. Besides the distribution itself, data and technology sovereignty become more important for customers in the European Union – that is how the GAIA-X initiative was born.
To meet the requirement of more data and technology sovereignty, T-Systems decided to build an own cloud ecosystem based on Kubernetes that complies to the requirements of more distributed workloads, containerization and technology/data sovereignty.
While a group of engineers is working on the platform itself, we are looking for experts that help customers of T-Systems to use the platform by migrating, redesigning and containerizing applications and move them to the Sovereign Cloud platform in either T-Systems datacenters or on the customers premises.

“We are building a strong center of competence here in St.Petersburg, working closely together with our colleagues and partners in Germany. That's your chance to be part of new cloud ecosystem creation. Grab it!”
