About The Role
As a System Engineer Cloud Platform (m/w/d) specializing in OpenStack and VMware, you will play a pivotal role in maintaining and developing our multi-tenant cloud infrastructure. This position is fully remote, allowing you to work from anywhere within Germany, offering flexibility and work-life balance. Your primary responsibility will be to operate and optimize our cloud platforms, ensuring high availability, performance, and security. You will manage the deployment of customer-specific environments, oversee platform lifecycle management, and support migration projects. Depending on your experience, the role can be tailored from an entry-level position to a senior-level position, providing opportunities for growth and increased responsibility.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess a solid foundation in IT and cloud infrastructure, with relevant qualifications such as an IT apprenticeship (e.g., Fachinformatiker Systemintegration), a degree in computer science, or equivalent experience. Experience in managing cloud or virtualization platforms like OpenStack and VMware vSphere/vCenter/ESXi is essential. Strong knowledge of network technologies—including TCP/IP, VLANs, switching, routing, and firewalls—as well as storage solutions such as SAN and NAS, is required. Proficiency in Linux and Windows server administration, along with basic understanding of backup solutions (Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik) and monitoring tools (CheckMK, Prometheus), is also necessary. Good communication skills in German, both written and spoken, are crucial, especially for customer interactions and documentation. For senior roles, additional experience in multi-tenant platform management, automation tools like Ansible, Terraform, or PowerCLI, and familiarity with ITIL processes are highly desirable.
Responsibilities
Netgo offers a range of benefits designed to support your professional development and personal well-being. You will enjoy flexible working hours with trust-based work schedules and 30 days of annual leave. The role provides the opportunity to work up to three months per year from outside Germany within the EU, promoting a healthy work-life balance. Employees have access to free fitness training at the netgo fitness club, subsidized memberships with Urban Sports Club, and participate in health programs in collaboration with the Techniker Krankenkasse. Continuous learning is encouraged through company-sponsored training and certifications, including access to Pearson VUE testing centers for industry-recognized credentials.
We support mobility with company cars or electric vehicles for client visits, as well as exclusive JobRad offers for bicycles. Employees receive a budget for work clothing, which can be ordered conveniently online. Financial security is enhanced through contributions to retirement plans and support for wealth accumulation. Additionally, employees benefit from discounts at over 1,500 partners and access to Ticketsprinter for event tickets. Family-friendly policies include subsidies for childcare, ensuring a supportive environment for employees with families.
Equal Opportunity

We provide equal employment opportunities regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. Our hiring and promotion processes are transparent and designed to ensure fairness.
