As part of this long tradition of innovation, Continental is also rapidly expanding its digital capabilities. Our global Cloud Services department plays a key role in this transformation.

The department is organized into two teams: Cloud Infrastructure and Cloud Practice.

Cloud Infrastructure Team:

2. Developing and supporting secure cloud-based infrastructure for containerized applications, including compute, storage, backup, and orchestration services (container management and orchestration).

Cloud Practice Team (your future team):
This team drives cloud transformation across Continental, covering a broad set of domains:

1. Leading cloud transformation initiatives by identifying and applying best-in-class cloud technologies (considering governance, cybersecurity, commercial, architectural, strategic and cost aspects);
2. Managing cloud account lifecycles across multiple hyperscale's while ensuring compliance with security standards and FinOps practices;
3. Growing and enabling Continental’s cloud community through engagement, knowledge sharing, and training;
4. Supporting internal customer projects with defining cloud architectures and offering development and engineering expertise;
5. Designing and implementing cloud-based solutions, including MVPs and proofs of concept;
6. Developing reusable components and building blocks to accelerate cloud adoption across the organization.

Your responsibilities may include technical engineering and development work with internal customers, serving as a liaison with Microsoft Azure, driving community activities such as workshops and Cloud Community Days, or leading projects within the cloud environment.
