Lead Cloud Engineer (m/f/d)

About the Company

Our partner Datasolut is a Data & AI consultancy from Cologne. The team helps companies generate real added value from their from the initial AI strategy through modern Lakehouse platforms to Machine Learning and Agentic AI solutions that actually run in everyday life. And don't just look good on slides.

What Datasolut does: Datasolut accompanies its clients every step of the way: together they understand where they stand, implement what is really needed, and scale what works. Strategy and implementation come from a single source. No handovers, no re-explanations, no Chinese whispers.

Technologically, Datasolut is at the forefront: As a Databricks Silver Partner and one of the few Microsoft Fabric Featured Partners in Germany, you will work with the platforms that are currently shaping the data world. CTO Laurenz is a Databricks MVP. For you, this means: Here you will learn from people who know what they are talking about.

How the team works: Datasolut is not a corporation, and that's a good thing. There are short paths, flat hierarchies, and real responsibility from the start. Your ideas don't end up in a drawer, but in the next project. The team shares knowledge, helps each other, and celebrates successes together.

Sound like you? Then apply! We look forward to getting to know you and bringing you together with Datasolut.
