Delivery Manager for a DevOps Implementation Team

Project overview

Our client, a leading corporation in mobility and rail transport, is modernizing its IT landscape for operational traffic control by replacing existing legacy systems. In the development unit, modern software products for end-users are being realized in several project teams. These products are further developed and operated partly by one, partly by several collaboratively scaling DevOps teams as single-page applications in a microservices architecture for cloud operation.

The technology used is state-of-the-art (including Cloud, Docker, CI/CD, complete delivery and test automation, integrated vulnerability management). The teams have a strong focus on UX, and the end-user is the central point. Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD) are fundamental tools.
