DevOps engineer in storage

Here I am responsible for the local operation, optimization and maintenance of our storage environments. What makes this job interesting to me: 50Hertz is advancing the integration of renewable energy. The extensive expansion of the grid cannot be achieved without providing IT infrastructure and networks.
