75 % remote Python Software Developer (f/m/d) with Golang or Nginx

Position Description
The Infrastructure Product Line within the EDP program provides infrastructure services through a hardware and software stack to support tenants and other product lines within the program. These services primarily encompass network, compute, and storage segments. The organization of the Infrastructure Product Line is structured around the delivery process, including product management, architecture, product delivery, and product operations. Infrastructure product delivery is divided into three teams: datacenter & network delivery, compute & storage delivery and – in the system stack on top of those - infrastructure IaaS (ICE = infrastructure core engine) delivery.
The Core Software Developer creates the private cloud core management software, which enables the customers to utilize an API to manage core infrastructure resources / products over Compute, Network and Storage technologies. Detailed knowledge of compute, network and storage technologies is not mandatory, but is required to understand how to engineer APIs and manage data via graph databases, and use downstream APIs to pass the requirement to DevOps systems managed by the respective teams. The Core Software Developer is tasked with ensuring the delivery of products specified by product management and co-designed by the architecture team. This entails creating high-level and low-level designs, completing engineering tasks, developing a working product, and ensuring quality assurance. The Core Software Developer is a part of the ICE Core delivery team and reports to the ICE Core Lead.
