Senior Infrastructure Administrator (all genders)
Other Engineering
Germany
The Role
As a Senior Infrastructure Administrator, you will act as a versatile generalist who also possesses deep, specialised expertise in network topics. While you will be the definitive owner of the network and firewall infrastructure, approximately 80% of your time will be dedicated to broader product and continuous improvement work. This includes managing Microsoft technologies, automating processes, overseeing cloud servers, and implementing robust security measures. The remaining 20% of your day-to-day will involve resolving escalated tickets, which often take the form of mini-projects such as enabling new business applications, resolving complex network blocks, or configuring specialized customer environments via Zscaler.
What you'll do
- Administer and maintain network, firewall, and Zscaler environments using deep specialist knowledge to ensure persistent security and operational uptime across the enterprise.
- Manage Microsoft technologies, cloud server infrastructure, and security patch cycles to deliver a consistently hardened and up-to-date infrastructure posture.
- Leverage AI and automation tooling to eliminate repetitive manual administration tasks and accelerate infrastructure operations across the team.
- Drive long-term infrastructure strategy by owning the multi-year roadmap for network and firewall modernization, including Lucanet's Berlin data centre and cloud environments.
- Proactively monitor system health to detect and remediate emerging risks before they escalate into organization-wide outages or security incidents.
- Act as the definitive subject matter expert for network and firewall topics, providing guidance and recommendations that shape infrastructure decisions across Lucanet.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, security, and operations teams to align infrastructure changes with broader business objectives and sprint delivery goals.
What you bring to the table
- Extensive background in a senior infrastructure role, demonstrating strong generalist capability alongside deep specialization in network and firewall administration.
- Expert/Senior -level proficiency in Zscaler administration, enterprise-grade firewall management, and complex network architecture design and operation.
- Advanced competence in Microsoft technologies, AWS cloud server administration, and rapid deployment of critical security patches.
- Proven ability to manage physical data centre hardware and respond promptly to on-site emergencies, including hardware failures.
- Strong crisis management skills with demonstrated composure and effectiveness during high-stakes network outages or security incidents.
- Experienced working within an agile sprint framework, consistently achieving high planned task completion rates across two-week cycles.
- Proficiency with AI tools and automation platforms, applying them to reduce manual overhead and streamline infrastructure workflows.
- Fluency in English required; German language skills advantageous.
- Openness to participation in optional on-call weekend rotations desirable.
