• Understanding of modern data architectures, including Data Lakes, Lakehouses, and Data Warehouses.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and DevOps practices is highly desirable.

Training & Communication

• Experience delivering technical training, workshops, mentoring, or enablement programs.
• Ability to explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Excellent presentation, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Passion for learning and helping others develop their capabilities.

Personal Qualities

• Customer-focused and consultative mindset.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Curious, adaptable, and eager to stay current with emerging technologies.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills in English & German.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge Cloud, Data, and AI projects.

• Continuous learning, certifications, and professional development.
• Flexible working arrangements and modern tooling.
• International and collaborative work environment.
