IT Systems Administrator (m/f/d) in Karlsruhe

If you would rather solve problems than simply manage them, and if you feel at home in an environment that asks “How can we make this happen?” rather than “Is this even possible?”, then you should definitely read on.

We are not looking for a traditional IT administrator. We are looking for an enabler: someone who strengthens our existing IT team and ensures that IT does not merely keep the lights on, but becomes a true enabler for our teams.

You will make sure our developers have the support they need, our projects can get off to a strong start, and our systems evolve alongside our business: ambitious, flexible, and future-focused.

Your Responsibilities

• IT security and compliance: Implement and monitor IT security measures and ensure compliance with legal requirements such as the GDPR, ISO 27001, and internal policies.
• System and network administration: Manage, maintain, and continuously improve our server, network, and client infrastructure, including switches, firewalls, and cloud services supporting our global development team.
• IT support and troubleshooting: Analyse, prioritise, and resolve hardware and software issues, deployment-related challenges, server migrations, and network installations.
• User and access management: Administer user accounts, group policies, and access rights across Microsoft and cloud environments.
• Documentation and process management: Create and maintain IT documentation, operating procedures, and contingency plans for internal and external use.
• Monitoring and reporting: Monitor the IT environment, analyse log data, prepare status reports, and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Security awareness and training: Deliver internal training on IT security and raise employee awareness of data protection and compliance requirements.

Your Profile

• 3+ years of experience in technical support
• Completed vocational training in IT, such as training as an IT specialist for system integration, or a comparable qualification.
• Experience working with Microsoft and Apple operating systems.
• Knowledge of networking technologies, including LAN, WLAN, and VPN.
• Experience in compliance management and/or system and server administration.
• A good general understanding of web technologies, such as hosting, CMS, and DNS.
• Knowledge of backup concepts and strategies.
• Experience with common deployment processes, such as CI/CD.
• Knowledge of IT security and data protection requirements.
• Fluent German and English, both written and spoken.
• A solution-oriented mindset, strong communication skills, and the ability to turn ideas into action.
