Role:
The infrastructure product line offers data center and cloud services that are provided via an IaaS platform for other product lines within the program.

The goal is to build an environment where all steps after physical installation in the datacenter are automated.

The Software Architect designs, reviews and iterates architecture for software components within the scope of the IaaS platform for internal and external customers through a REST first approach.

The IaaS platform consists of multiple layers from customer facing to infrastructure facing. Between these layers the platform is built with a modular approach providing deeper layer abstractions and well-defined interfaces between each of the layers allowing the building blocks to be easily changed or modified.
