Current Situation

The Parliament develops and manages complex, service-oriented solutions with a high degree of integration and information exchange. The solutions support critical processes, including case management and document production and handling, and require high quality, robustness, and security. Projects and product teams strive for agile working methods. The Parliament's administration, via the IT department, needs a platform architect / developer.

About the Role: Platform Architect/Developer

One platform architect/developer is to be procured who will have a central role in the further development of the Parliament's development platform and the establishment of common platform services for the development teams. The role shall contribute to ensuring that the Parliament's development environment has a modern, robust, and future-oriented platform that facilitates efficient development, testing, deployment, and operation of in-house developed solutions.

This includes further development of the Kubernetes platform (AKS), improvement of CI/CD processes, automation of tasks, observability, security mechanisms, and the establishment of developer tools that make development teams more independent and efficient.
