(LEAD) SOFTWARE ENGINEER - DBaaS IN STACKIT CLOUD (m/f/d)

The impact you will create:

• Own the Valkey/SQLServer Integration: You will lead the technical design, architecture, and integration of our Valkey(and Redis-compatible)/SQLServer managed service into our sovereign cloud ecosystem.
• Automation &
  • DBaaS: You will drive the automation of deployment, replication, backup, and patching processes, turning complex caching infrastructure into a seamless "self-service" model controlled via Golang-based REST/gRPC APIs.
  • System Design &
  • Scale: You will design robust, highly available, and fault-tolerant caching solutions, proactively optimizing configurations and capacity to scale with customer demand.
  • End-to-End Ownership: We live by "You build it, you run it."
  • You will accompany your services from the first line of code through Kubernetes orchestration to incident analysis (Post-Mortems).
  • Technical Leadership: You will guide the technical direction of the product and mentor team members, raising the bar for engineering excellence and modern SRE practices.

Must Haves

• Strong System Design Foundations: You understand how to architect distributed, scalable, and highly available systems.
• Backend &
  • API Engineering: Strong foundation in software engineering and clean API development (REST, gRPC), with a proven track record of controlling infrastructure. Flexible across languages and actively open to writing and adopting Golang.
  • Continuous Learning Mindset: You are genuinely excited to master our tech stack, dive deep into golang, Kubernetes and database internals, and constantly upgrade your technical skills.
  • SRE &
  • Observability Culture: You care about reliability, fault tolerance, and know your way around monitoring ecosystems like Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Communication: Fluent in English to collaborate effectively within our agile, international team.

Nice to Have

• Caching Database Expertise: Deep understanding of Valkey / Redis / SQLServer architectures, including clustering, high availability setups, and performance tuning.
• Container-Native Landscapes: Experience with Kubernetes, containers, and ideally, Kubernetes Operators for database orchestration.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): You feel at home writing clean automation using Terraform or Ansible.
• Security First: Knowledge of securing data-in-transit/at-rest and network isolation in cloud environments.
