DevOps Engineer (REF3963B)

As a DevOps Engineer at Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions, your core responsibilities will include designing and planning changes for the Packet Core network, closely collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure that DevOps processes align with business objectives, and maintaining packet core network nodes dedicated to IoT traffic like P-GW and GGSN. Additionally, you'll be involved in optimizing performance for low latency and high throughput, developing automation tools for workflow optimization, and troubleshooting any issues that arise in the live network.

To be considered for the DevOps Engineer role at Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions, applicants should possess a deep understanding of packet core networks, proficiency in networking and routing technologies, and practical experience with CI/CD tools and cloud technologies. Furthermore, a good command of English and a willingness to learn automation tools or scripting languages is essential. Experience with integrated system configurations and the ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams will be advantageous.

At Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions, you can expect a dynamic and collaborative team environment where your input is valued. The Central Packet Gateway team prides itself on working closely with various experts to align technology solutions with business needs. You'll be working alongside talented professionals who are passionate about IoT and are committed to ensuring the company remains at the cutting edge of telecommunications technology.

In your role as a DevOps Engineer in IoT at Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions, you will work with several advanced technologies, including Packet Core Network nodes (P-GW, GGSN, SMF, UPF), cloud-native functions, and containerized solutions. Additionally, hands-on experience with automation tools and CI/CD will be a crucial part of your daily tasks.

Yes, there are remote working possibilities for the DevOps Engineer role at Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions, but please note that this option is only available within Hungary due to European taxation regulations. This allows flexibility while still being part of our dynamic team that collaborates across various locations.

Certainly! In my previous roles, I've worked extensively with Packet Core Network nodes such as P-GW and GGSN, focusing on integration and configuration with accessing networks. I understand the architecture and call flows of both EPC and 5GC systems, which helps me optimize performance and troubleshoot issues effectively.

I approach workflow optimization by first assessing existing processes to identify bottlenecks. I then leverage automation tools and scripting to streamline tasks, allowing for quicker provisioning and configuration of network functions. Continuous improvement is key, so I regularly collaborate with team members to gather feedback and make data-driven improvements.

I have several years of experience working with cloud platforms and CI/CD tools. I have implemented CI/CD pipelines that significantly enhance deployment speeds and efficiency within our teams. I am also familiar with managing cloud-native applications and database technologies crucial for modern DevOps practices.

I believe effective communication is fundamental to successful cross-functional collaboration. I ensure that I am actively engaging with my colleagues from different teams by attending meetings, sharing updates on project progress, and soliciting feedback on our DevOps processes. This collaboration helps align objectives and enhances overall efficiency.

My troubleshooting strategy involves methodically analyzing logs and metrics to identify anomalies, followed by isolating the issue based on whether it lies within the network configuration or application layer. I leverage my experience with automation tools to quickly identify and resolve issues, minimizing downtime and maintaining service quality.

I have hands-on experience with scripting languages such as Python and Bash, which I utilize to develop scripts for automating repetitive tasks in network configuration and monitoring. Programming allows me to create solutions that enhance workflow efficiency and provide valuable insights into system performance.

I am excited about working in the IoT space because it is at the forefront of technological innovation and offers a chance to contribute to transformative projects that change how we interact with technology. The potential of IoT to drive automation, improve processes, and enhance connectivity is truly inspiring.

Ensuring high throughput involves careful optimization of configurations and resource allocation for Packet-Core components. I regularly monitor performance metrics and adjust settings in real time to reduce latency and enhance throughput, ensuring that network demands are met efficiently.

I believe that the most critical skill for a DevOps Engineer is the ability to adapt and learn continuously. The technology landscape is ever-evolving, and being open to new ideas and techniques while leveraging past experiences is what ultimately drives success in our roles.

I integrate security practices into our DevOps processes from the beginning by following a DevSecOps approach. This means conducting regular security assessments, applying security patches promptly, and leveraging security-focused automation tools to ensure that security measures are woven throughout the lifecycle of our deployments.
