FI-TS (Finanz Informatik Technologie Service GmbH & Co. KG) — one of Germany’s largest IT service providers for the financial services and insurance industry, part of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe (the largest banking group in Germany and Europe) — is seeking a Cloud Automation & Orchestration Engineer (m/f/d) at its Nuremberg, Bavaria location. This is a technically ambitious role at the intersection of platform engineering, cloud automation, IT operations, and customer projects — with a primary focus on the development of the Finance Cloud Orchestrator (FCO), FI-TS’s proprietary automation and orchestration platform for standardizing, automating, and connecting IT services across cloud and data center environments. You will be building reusable automation modules, designing cloud service integrations, contributing to CI/CD pipelines, and actively exploring how emerging technologies including Agentic AI, SRE Agents, and AI-assisted engineering tools can enhance FI-TS’s Finance Cloud platform operations — at a company serving leading banks, insurers, and financial services providers across Germany with ca. 1,000 employees across five German locations.
Why This Cloud Automation Role at FI-TS Nuremberg Stands Out
Build the Finance Cloud Orchestrator — The Automation Heart of German Financial IT: FI-TS’s Finance Cloud Orchestrator is not a peripheral tooling project — it is the central automation and orchestration engine that will determine how efficiently FI-TS can deliver cloud and platform services to Germany’s leading banks and insurers through the late 2020s and 2030s. As a Cloud Automation & Orchestration Engineer at FI-TS, you will be building the reusable modules, workflow integrations, and service connectors that form the operational backbone of a major financial IT infrastructure provider
Agentic AI + SRE Agents — Frontier Automation Technology in Production Financial IT: FI-TS is actively integrating Agentic AI, SRE Agents, and AI-assisted engineering tools into its automation and platform engineering practice — an unusually forward-looking technical agenda for a regulated financial services IT provider. This role places you at the leading edge of AI-powered cloud operations within one of Germany’s most established and trusted financial technology companies
Azure + Terraform + Python — Germany’s Most Commercially Valuable Cloud Engineering Stack: Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, Terraform/OpenTofu Infrastructure as Code, Python automation, and CI/CD pipelines — developed in the demanding, regulation-conscious context of German financial services IT — is among the most commercially valuable and professionally portable cloud engineering expertise available in the German technology job market
Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Stability — IT Provider to Germany’s Largest Banking Group: FI-TS’s ownership by the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe — the largest banking group in Germany and Europe — provides an unusually stable commercial foundation for a technology employer, combining the technical ambition of a modern cloud platform engineering role with the employment security, structured career development, and collegial culture of a well-established German institution
Position Overview
This Cloud Automation & Orchestration Engineer (m/f/d) at FI-TS in Nuremberg, Bavaria designs, develops, and documents solutions for the Finance Cloud Orchestrator (FCO) — automates and connects cloud, platform, and operational services into seamless end-to-end workflows — integrates existing and new services from FI-TS’s Finance Cloud portfolio — translates internal and customer project requirements into technical solution designs — develops reusable modules, interfaces, and workflows applicable across multiple use cases — accompanies solutions from concept design through development, testing, and operational integration — and actively explores new automation approaches including Agentic AI, SRE Agents, and AI-assisted engineering tools — working in close collaboration with technical teams and customer project stakeholders at the intersection of platform development, IT operations, and financial industry cloud services.
Why This Role Matters: Every bank, insurer, and financial services provider that FI-TS serves — from the regional Sparkasse that manages the savings accounts of a small Bavarian town to the major insurance group that underwrites thousands of policies across Germany — depends on IT services that are not just functionally correct but reliably delivered, consistently monitored, and rapidly recoverable when something goes wrong. The Finance Cloud Orchestrator that this Cloud Automation & Orchestration Engineer will be building is the engine that makes FI-TS’s cloud service delivery standardized, automated, and trustworthy at scale. When an automation workflow you design correctly provisions a new cloud environment for a banking customer in 12 minutes instead of 3 days, a reusable Terraform module you build ensures that every new cloud deployment meets FI-TS’s security and regulatory compliance standards without requiring a manual compliance review, an SRE Agent you help integrate detects and routes an infrastructure anomaly before it reaches the threshold that triggers a service degradation notification to a banking customer’s operations team, or an Agentic AI workflow you prototype reduces the manual effort in a complex cloud service onboarding process by 60% — you are not writing automation scripts. You are building the operational infrastructure that keeps Germany’s financial services technology running reliably, securely, and efficiently for the millions of customers those financial institutions serve. That is the engineering impact and professional responsibility of excellent cloud automation work at FI-TS.
Key Responsibilities
Finance Cloud Orchestrator — Design, Development & Documentation
- Design, develop, and document solutions for the Finance Cloud Orchestrator (FCO) in close collaboration with the platform engineering team — building the automation and orchestration workflows, service integrations, and reusable modules that form the operational core of FI-TS’s central cloud automation platform, working from technical architecture design through implementation, testing, code review, and documentation to production-ready deployment in FI-TS’s regulated financial IT environment
- Automate and connect cloud, platform, and operational services into seamless end-to-end workflows — developing the service integration logic that links FI-TS’s Microsoft Azure public cloud infrastructure, internal platform services, and operational tooling into consistently automated, reliably monitored, and easily maintainable service delivery pipelines that reduce manual effort, eliminate configuration drift, and ensure regulatory compliance across the Finance Cloud portfolio
- Translate requirements from internal teams and customer projects into technical solution designs and implement them together with the team — acting as the technical bridge between the business and operational requirements that FI-TS’s banking and insurance customers bring to cloud platform projects and the automation engineering solutions that the platform team designs and builds, ensuring that every solution is technically sound, reusable where possible, and operationally sustainable
Reusable Modules, IaC, CI/CD & Service Integration
- Develop reusable modules, interfaces, and workflows applicable across multiple use cases and projects — building the Infrastructure as Code libraries, API integration components, and orchestration workflow templates that can be standardized across FI-TS’s Finance Cloud service portfolio, reducing the time-to-delivery for new cloud service requests and ensuring consistent quality, security, and compliance across all customer environments
- Integrate existing and new services from FI-TS’s Finance Cloud portfolio into the Finance Cloud Orchestrator — connecting the cloud, platform, and operational services that make up FI-TS’s service catalog through well-designed APIs, event-driven orchestration patterns, and workflow automation, ensuring that the FCO platform evolves continuously alongside FI-TS’s Finance Cloud portfolio as new services and technologies are added
