As a working Student - Software Development & Testing (f/m/d) you will support our DevOps team in automating infrastructure, optimizing deployment pipelines, and ensuring system reliability across our cloud-based environments in the department of Data Warehouse and Data Platform.
Your responsibilities:
- You will support the team creating, maintaining and upscaling CI/CD-Pipelines by using for example GitHub actions, Jenkins or similar
- You will participate in the automation of infrastructure processes by Infrastructure as Code (i.e. Terraform, Ansible)

- You will help developing solutions for monitoring and optimization of the system performance and reliability using Grafana and similar tools
- You are supporting with the documentation and testing to ensure quality and robustness

Your profile:
- You are currently enrolled at a state-recognized university as a regular student in Computer Science or an equivalent field
- You are able to communicate on high professional level and can work under stress
- You already gathered experience in one or more general purpose programming languages including Go, Python, or Java; experience in relational and non-relational database technologies (Oracle, Hive) would be an advantage

- You have a basic understanding of DevOps tools and practices such as Git, CI/CD, Docker, or Terraform — or strong motivation to learn them and are interested in cloud platforms (e.g. GCP) and modern data infrastructure

Working student essentials
What this Tech working student role in Frankfurt means for you: the weekly-hours rules, the social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.
Check your insuranceInternational students
Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
