IT System Administrator (m/f/d)

Introduction

We are looking for new colleagues! Migrando is a legal tech company from Cottbus. Our mission is to make the complicated and lengthy naturalization process more efficient and customer-friendly. With our expertise in immigration law, our legal competence, and a strong team of numerous employees, we successfully guide thousands of clients on their path to German citizenship. It's best to get a look for yourself at migrando(.)de/karriere, our career page. Because we can write whatever we want here, in the end, it remains a boring introduction.

We don't care what certificates you have or where you studied. What interests us: What can you really do? Those who have worked in practice for years and gained hands-on experience bring more than any course completion. We are looking for colleagues who, ideally, have several years of experience and are ready to take responsibility.

What We Offer You

No rigid processes, no micromanagement. With us, you decide how you work – with tools that you can help shape yourself, and colleagues who think along. We are constantly developing new systems to optimize our work, instead of just closing tickets. And if something catches fire: We put it out together.

• High-end hardware of your choice
  Whether a MacBook or a Windows tower. You get the machine on which you perform best, including 4K monitors.
• Real Responsibility:
  You are not one of many in a long chain of responsibility. You work independently in your area – with a direct line to all teams and management, without three levels of hierarchy in between.
• Small Teams Instead of Open-Plan Offices
  You work in manageable teams where people know each other and can quickly strike up conversations.
• Music at Work
  We don't frown if you put on headphones. If it helps you (and doesn't bother anyone else), you can also blast heavy metal through a sound system at your desk.
• Modern Old Building Office in the Heart of Cottbus
  High ceilings, lots of natural light, plants in the rooms, and an inner courtyard for breaks. You can get a glimpse of our premises on our website.
• Ergonomic Workspace with Modern Equipment
  Back-friendly chair, height-adjustable desk, two large monitors, a high-quality headset, a powerful laptop, and a quiet environment.
• Home Office Option
  Basically, we work in the office because collaboration and exchange on-site are important to us. At the same time, home office is possible at any time. Even spontaneously and without long coordination.
• Trust-Based Working Hours Without Core Hours
  With us, there are no prescribed time slots in which you must be present.
• Flexible Part-Time Models
  Whether it's a 4-day week, 30 hours, or an individual model. Your job should fit your life, not the other way around.
• Take Spontaneous Vacation
  Sometimes you just need a break. We plan our teams so that spontaneous days off are possible, without stress or guilt.
• Family-Friendly Culture
  Sick children, parent-teacher evenings, or short-notice doctor's appointments – we know that such situations are part of everyday life. Family and health come first with us.
• Short Communication Channels
  With us, you don't have to climb through hierarchies or write long emails to be heard. You can speak directly with colleagues, team leads, or management at any time. Decisions are made quickly, communication is direct, and no one sits in an ivory tower.
• Shape Instead of Just Do
  We are looking for colleagues who think along. If you have an idea of how a process can be improved, a tool would be useful, or a workflow could work more intelligently, then you will be heard.
• Meaningful Work
  Your work has a direct impact on people's lives. You help them to arrive in Germany, find security, and start a new chapter. This is not dry office work – it is work with real meaning and tangible impact.
• Feel-Good Offers On-Site
  Our feel-good manager regularly ensures small breaks – from neck and shoulder massages to short relaxation and beauty sessions, to moments for taking a breath.
• Regular Team Events
  We like to celebrate. Summer party by the lake, cozy Christmas party, Halloween bash, joint lunches, or after-work dinners with the department. Our events ensure that we grow together as a team and can put everyday work aside for a while. But don't worry: attendance is not mandatory, and leaving early is also not a problem.
• On-Site Fitness Room
  Our own fitness room is available to you directly in the building – free of charge, well-equipped, and accessible at any time.

Possible Areas of Responsibility

You plan, manage, and develop systems that advance our company. You take care of servers, networks, and security – and have all the freedom to make processes smarter.

• Administration and Maintenance
  You manage our internal servers, take care of updates, backups, and ensure that all systems run stably.
• Network Administration
  You monitor and configure routers, switches, firewalls, and VPNs.
• Data Backup & Recovery
  You regularly plan, check, and test backups. You ensure that no data is lost in an emergency.
• Everyday Technical Support
  You are one of the first points of contact for IT questions and help colleagues with problems. Via chat or on-site.
• Setting Up New Workstations
  You set up new PCs, laptops, and monitors, and take care of software installations and network configurations.
• System Migrations
  You plan and manage the transition to new systems. Be it an update, new software, or new hardware.
• Evaluating New Technologies
  You test new tools, check their practical suitability, and recommend what will truly move us forward.
• Coordination with Service Providers
  You manage external providers, partners, or remote developers and coordinate your work with them.
• Interfaces & Automations
  You connect systems via APIs or tools like N8N. This makes processes more efficient and reduces clicks and errors to a minimum.
• Domain Management
  You have an overview of our active website domains and are able to securely and performantly provide internal tools locally or online for exactly the right teams.

Your Profile

No certificate in the world replaces real practical experience. That's exactly what we're looking for. Whether you've gained it on the job, in your own projects, or on your own initiative – we're interested in what you can really do, what you've already done in this area, and what you still want to achieve. Direct communication, willingness to learn, as well as enjoyment and curiosity in your work are more important to us than any degree. We are looking for colleagues who, ideally, have several years of experience and are ready to take responsibility.

• You have sound experience in IT administration or similar fields.
• Local networks, cloud servers, API interfaces, automation, and VPNs are not foreign terms to you.
• If you also have experience with CRM systems – even better!
• You have basic knowledge of system architecture, networks, or server landscapes.
• You prefer to find sustainable solutions rather than quick workarounds.
• You have experience with Google Workspace, Windows, MacOS, Docker, databases (Supabase), or similar platforms.
• You are familiar with networks, firewalls, and/or VPNs.
• You are eager to learn new things regularly – whether tools, trends, or technologies.
• You have an understanding of backup strategies, know how to handle personal data (storage, processing, deletion), and understand how to make an authenticated API call.
• You don't need a degree or 30 further training courses. We want to find talent and capable new colleagues. Even if you don't meet all the points here – we are looking for experienced and responsible colleagues, ideally you have been active in this field for many years and have gained many learnings. Because that's exactly what interests us: clean, robust long-term problem solutions. And you usually only get those after having to learn them the hard way for a while.
• You are communicative and open. Actually, we don't want to write generic things here, but this point is important. Good collaboration is often as important as pure experience. A colleague with whom collaboration is pleasant and smooth can be more valuable in everyday life than someone with more know-how with whom communication is rather sluggish.
• You speak German or English, or preferably both (approx. B2 level). Don't worry, we don't expect proof of language level.
