At IT Services, we are passionate about platform engineering, Kubernetes, GitOps and infrastructure-as-code. Our Infrastructure Platform Services (IPS) team is continuously expanding. No matter your level of Platform Architect proficiency, you can always grow within our diverse environment. This is an internal opportunity, open to current DHL IT Services employees.
Timely delivery of DHL packages around the globe depends on an infrastructure platform that is consistent, secure and future-proof — and that platform needs an owner.

You will own the platform end to end across Build and Run: shaping the run operating model, aligning the technology roadmap across the Compute & Storage, Data & Observability, Secure Connectivity and Infrastructure Security domains, and making sure every design decision supports our Private Cloud 2.0 ambition.

The same applies when it comes to proposing, designing and governing changes to the platform — reference architectures, golden paths and policy guardrails (OPA, Kyverno) included.

You are able to work independently, prioritize and organize your tasks under time and workload pressure. Working in a multinational environment, you can expect cross-region collaboration with teams around the globe, thus being advanced in spoken and written English will be certainly useful.
