About the Position

We are looking for an IT Consultant to join Univention GmbH, a company dedicated to digital sovereignty, open IT infrastructures, and open-source software solutions. Our goal is to enable organizations, particularly in public administration and education, to have secure, independent, and manageable IT environments.

With our Identity & Access Management (IAM) and our modular open-source solution Nubus, we create flexible, interoperable, and sovereign IT infrastructures that meet the demands of modern administrations and educational landscapes.


Responsibilities

  • Technical Project Leadership: You will take on the technical leadership in customer projects and ensure that our solutions are successfully implemented in challenging IT environments with your experience.
  • Understanding Requirements: You will listen, ask targeted questions, and analyze the actual requirements of our customers and their IT architectures.
  • Designing Solutions: You will develop robust architectures and concepts around UCS and Nubus for Kubernetes.
  • Advisory Services: You will lead workshops and appointments, guiding customers through well-founded, understandable, and sometimes challenging technical decisions.
  • Implementing Solutions: You will systematically implement typical installations, configurations, and integrations (e.g., Active Directory, Microsoft 365, or OX).
  • Quality Assurance: You will accompany the implementation and ensure that the solutions meet the agreed-upon requirements.
  • Driving Presales: You will evaluate feasibility, effort, and risks, actively contribute your assessment to offers, and create viable solution sketches.
  • Product Development: You will systematically bring insights from projects to product management and development.

Requirements

  • Experience in Customer Projects: You have several years of experience in technically complex customer projects – ideally as a consultant, technical lead, system engineer, or solution architect.
  • Listening & Understanding: You can listen very well, ask the right questions, and recognize what customers really need – even beyond the initial request.
  • Linux Expertise: You are confident in the administration of Linux servers.
  • Broad Technical Foundation: You have solid knowledge in networks, DNS, Active Directory, LDAP, containerization (Docker), APIs, and single sign-on.
  • IAM Understanding: You have a conceptual understanding of Identity & Access Management, user lifecycle, authentication, and authorization (e.g., SAML, OIDC, OAuth, Kerberos).
  • Structure & Communication: You can clearly structure requirements and present technical concepts convincingly and understandably to different target groups.
  • Work Approach & Mindset: You take on responsibility, work independently, and combine technical depth with genuine consulting competence.
  • Language Skills: You speak fluent German and very good English.

Nice to Have

  • Kubernetes Know-how: Experience with Kubernetes is helpful but not mandatory – we will support you in getting started if you bring solid Linux and infrastructure understanding.
  • IAM Practice: You have already worked with solutions such as Keycloak, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), or ADFS.
  • CI/CD & Tools: You are familiar with Git and CI/CD tools (e.g., GitLab CI).
  • Presales Experience: You have experience in effort estimations and offer processes.
  • Industry Experience: You know the requirements in the public sector or the education sector.

We Offer

  • Real Impact: You will not work on just any project, but actively shape Europe's digital sovereignty. Your contribution has social significance.
  • High Flexibility: Whether home office, one of our locations, or workation in the EU abroad – we rely on trust and flexible working hours that fit well with your private life.
  • Ownership: You will take on responsibility and receive the space from us to successfully implement your ideas.
  • Growth Mindset: We invest in you. Whether it's a deep dive into IAM, Kubernetes, or new infrastructure trends – we actively support your professional development.
  • Exciting Complexity: With us, solving challenging problems is at the forefront. You can expect projects and customers that demand real expertise.
  • Team on Equal Footing: A strong mix of experience and curiosity, where mutual support and open feedback are more important than titles.
  • Reliability: A permanent employment contract in a future-oriented and stable environment.

Join demanding IT projects with high impact – on the path to digital sovereignty.

Sounds exciting? Then we look forward to your application!
