About the role

IT Netzwerk Architekt designing and developing scalable network architectures at DATAGROUP. Lead infrastructure projects and enhance network solutions with modern technologies.

Responsibilities

Network architect with vision: You plan and develop stable, scalable, and future-proof network architectures—forward-looking, structured, and with technical finesse.
Pragmatic project leadership: Whether LAN, WAN, or WLAN—you take the lead on exciting infrastructure projects and ensure everything runs smoothly, even if things are a bit rough at the start.
Keeping technology up to date: You introduce modern technologies and advance our network solutions—for example in the areas of VPN, cloud, or automation.
Stagnation isn't your thing.
Expert-level troubleshooter: You analyze complex fault patterns, identify root causes, and develop smart strategies for the sustainable improvement of our networks—not just temporary fixes, but lasting solutions.
Documentation expert with overview: You keep not only the network running but also the documentation current—from operational manuals to clear network diagrams.
Team player with a big-picture perspective: You know good networks need more than cables and switches—you bring people together, support partner selection, and keep the overall picture in mind.
3rd-level support: This is where you come in—calm, competent, and solution-oriented. You are the final escalation before a problem gives up.

You have several years of hands-on networking experience—planning and operations are familiar territory for you.
You are at the forefront of WLAN technologies—CCNP or even CCIE-Enterprise is not just something you've heard of, but a certification you hold.
You are fluent in Python (or at least at an advanced/proficient level) and have automated more with Ansible than you can count.
You have led complex network projects—PRINCE2 or SCRUM are not just buzzwords to you.
Monitoring tools are more than colorful graphs to you—you know what to look for and why it matters.
You can explain technical topics so non-technical colleagues understand and can nod in agreement.
Your German is at a very good level and your English is fully sufficient for meetings and day-to-day business.

A tailored onboarding with a personal mentor—you won’t be thrown into the deep end.
No day is the same: challenging, varied, and autonomous—but never boring.
Flat hierarchies instead of bureaucratic chains of command. Speak directly.
Flexibility as you need it: hybrid work, flexible hours, additional vacation days—this is a lived reality here.
Modern, well-equipped offices: height-adjustable desks, two monitors, quiet zones and open spaces—just how you like it.
JobRad & team spirit: whether road bike or e-bike—we’ll arrange your new wheels.
Pension plan? We’ve got it. And we contribute to it as a matter of course.
Well prepared for the future. Our corporate benefits invite you to shop and experience.
