As an Engineer in our Business Enablement team, you will play a key role in helping product teams successfully onboard their services to azure cloud platform and successfully managing upcoming releases. You will work hands-on with Azure technologies and collaborate closely with project teams and customers to solve technical challenges, guide them through onboarding, and ensure their services run securely and efficiently with minimal operational overhead.
You will be responsible for enabling self-service capabilities, tailored to our internal needs, and provision Azure services such as PostgreSQL, and Storage Accounts, etc. Your work will directly impact developer productivity and platform adoption.

Contribute to the design and improvement of self-service workflows and automation.
Ensure platform usage aligns with best practices for scalability, security, and cost-efficiency.
Actively participate in platform evolution and provide feedback from onboarding experiences.
What you bring
We imagine you come with a background in either within managing IT system or as a developing software as a IT Administrator, a software architect, or a lead developer.
You probably “tick” most of the following boxes:
Strong hands-on experience with:
Container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes)

Familiarity with ticketing systems (e.g., Jira) and agile workflows.
Familiarity with intercultural and distributed work environments is a plus.
Educational background: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
And beyond your professionalqualifications, we are looking for the following:
You are a self-starter and take initiative and ownership when something is not working – also on system & solution level.
You can see the “big picture” and understand the broad business needs while also understanding the technical details
You are not afraid to try, not afraid to fail
You are able to both give and receive constructive feedback and people will see you as a structured problem solver.
You feel comfortable working with a team of software engineers spanning multiple locations.
Fluent in English – both verbally and in writing
As a person, you have the passion for impact and are motived by influencing how things are done. You are realistic, able to see opportunities while at the same time not afraid to say no. You are also a great collaborator and believe that you can accomplish more as a team than as an individual. Because that is what we believe. And we guarantee that when working at WSA, we will provide you with a psychologically safe and inclusive environment allowing you to grow personally and professionally.
