Infrastructure Operations Manager (m/f/x) su Nitrado

Your mission

• Coordinating Maintenances & Changes: You plan maintenance windows and ensure that all participating teams are well-prepared. You coordinate execution, keep an eye on risks and dependencies, and ensure a clean conclusion including traceable documentation.
• Incident Management: You take over coordination for critical or major incidents. You bring the right stakeholders together, maintain a clean flow of information, and ensure rapid restoration. Afterward, you drive structured post-processing, including the tracking of measures.
• Problem Management: You ensure that recurring disruptions are not just handled in the short term but are resolved sustainably. To this end, you ensure clear responsibilities, prioritization, and follow-up.
• Risk & Lifecycle Management: You keep an eye on the stability of our entire stack, from patching and upgrades to technical debt and EOL (End of Life) topics. You identify dependencies and operational risks early, make them transparent, and thus create the basis for prioritization and planning in the roadmaps.
• Establishing Operational Standards: You further develop our standards and processes in operations so that they are scalable, traceable, and reproducible. This includes, for example, runbooks, checklists, escalation paths, and procedures for maintenance and incidents.
• Technical Steering & Roadmaps: You work closely with other infrastructure teams and ensure that topics such as stability, capacity, and lifecycle are considered in the roadmaps. You keep operational requirements present and drive topics through to implementation.
• Technical Sparring Partner (Hands-on): You stay close to the technology, provide pragmatic support for complex analyses, and understand our stack in detail. You are the bridge between operational reality and technical planning without getting lost in the day-to-day business of tickets.
