About the Job
Allianz Technology is transforming how we manage global cloud infrastructure – moving from manual, click-driven operations to a fully automated, scalable, and AI-supported operating model. As a Senior Subject Matter Expert, you will be the driving force behind this shift, defining the vision and leading the technical strategy that transitions our operations from “ClickOps” to a modern, code-driven, AI-augmented paradigm.
What you do
Define and drive the strategic roadmap for transitioning cloud infrastructure management from manual operations to a fully automated, Infrastructure-as-Code operating model using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Pulumi.
Design and implement scalable automation frameworks capable of managing thousands of globally distributed servers, network devices, and cloud resources across multi-cloud and hybrid environments (AWS, Azure, on-premises).
Evaluate, integrate, and operationalize AI and machine learning capabilities – including AIOps for predictive monitoring, intelligent incident resolution, and self-healing infrastructure.
Lead the development of custom tooling and integrations using Python and shell scripting, while establishing engineering best practices such as CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure code, automated testing, and peer review.
Collaborate with global infrastructure, security, and application teams to ensure automation solutions meet enterprise-grade requirements, and mentor engineering teams to foster a culture of automation-first thinking.
What you bring
Minimum 15 years of progressive experience in enterprise IT infrastructure management, with a proven track record of designing and operating large-scale automation solutions managing thousands of devices distributed across multiple geographies and cloud regions.
Expert-level proficiency in Linux systems (RHEL, Ubuntu, CentOS/Rocky) including kernel tuning, networking, storage management, and security hardening across large enterprise estates.
Strong scripting skills in Bash and at least one modern programming language (Python strongly preferred), with experience writing production-grade, maintainable code and working with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, Ansible, or similar) at enterprise scale.
Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), CI/CD toolchains, containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes), and practical experience applying AIOps principles or intelligent automation to infrastructure operations.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence across organizational boundaries, mentor global technical teams, and translate complex technical concepts for executive audiences. Fluent in English; additional languages are a plus.
What we offer
We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.
