You want to make sound decisions with clients, implement them yourself and learn from operations. At XALT, you take cloud platforms and migrations from the first requirements through to running systems.\nWhat we are working towards\nWe want to help companies use AI to improve the work people rely on every day. We combine consulting, software development and our own products to make that happen. What excites us is seeing a technical idea become something people can count on.\nWhat you will work on\nDesign and deliver cloud migrations for enterprise and public-sector clients.\nBuild infrastructure for AI workloads and agents.\nImplement infrastructure as code, CI/CD and observability yourself.\nSupport the operation of what you build and automate appropriate recovery tasks.\nBring security, privacy and compliance requirements into architecture decisions early.\nWhat you bring\nSeveral years of cloud architecture experience, such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, and Kubernetes\nHands-on experience with Terraform, pipelines and operating distributed systems\nEnjoyment of direct client work, including on-site sessions\nAn infrastructure or operations task you have automated using AI\nBusiness-fluent German and English\nWhat we offer\nUnlimited tokens for Claude, OpenAI and the latest, most advanced AI tools\n€85,000-115,000 gross per year, depending on experience; we are open to going beyond this range for exceptional profiles\nProfessional exchange within the team, across the Atlassian ecosystem as a Platinum Partner, and through the XALT AI Circle and IT Revolution\nYour working arrangements\nWe value working together in the office: developing ideas, learning from one another and talking things through in person. Living in or around Munich or Leipzig is therefore a plus. Remote work is also possible. If you live further away, we would still love to hear from you. Together, we will discuss an arrangement that works for you, your team and the role.\nThis role includes work on client sites. We will discuss travel and on-site expectations for the specific projects with you.\nOur professional community\nExchanging ideas with others is part of what we enjoy about this work. For our XALT AI Circle in Munich in autumn 2026, we have invited Peter Steinberger of the OpenClaw Foundation to discuss personal agents. In October 2026, Philipp Göllner spoke at the Enterprise AI Summit in Charlotte about how our team built a Chief of Staff agent. We plan to represent XALT again at the summit in Portland in May 2027. For a closer look at our work, see Philipp’s talk from Charlotte.\nYour AI example\nWe would like to understand how you approach problems and what you have learned along the way. Bring a process you have automated yourself with AI and show it to us live. Walk us through your contribution, whether the workflow works consistently, and what has measurably improved. We are also interested in its limitations and how you check the results. One example is enough; you can recreate it with test data. Please do not share confidential information or protected code.\nYour application\nDoes this sound like work you would enjoy? We would love to hear from you. Send your CV to  and tell us what you would like to work on. The conversation should also give you room to ask about the team, your responsibilities and what you need to do good work. We will discuss the interview arrangements and your AI demonstration with you personally. You can also send any questions beforehand to .","description_format":"text","description_chars":3600,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Cloud Consulting & Migration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T12:47:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T16:28:18Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":128156,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/xalt-forward-deployed-cloud-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/xalt-forward-deployed-cloud-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T16:28:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23961,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":689997},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=689997"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fxalt-forward-deployed-cloud-architect"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fxalt-forward-deployed-cloud-architect"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fxalt-forward-deployed-cloud-architect"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/xalt-forward-deployed-cloud-architect\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fxalt-forward-deployed-cloud-architect"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3963229}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"xalt.de","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3963229},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
