The company
Commerzbank is a leading international commercial bank with branches and offices in almost 50 countries. The world is changing, becoming digital, and so are we. We are leaving the traditional bank behind us, and we are choosing to move forward as a digital enterprise.

As a Backup & Restore Architect, you will design, implement, and continuously optimize our enterprise-wide backup and recovery environment, ensuring secure, reliable, and efficient protection of business-critical data.
You will join an infrastructure team with a strong API-first mindset and a clear focus on end-to-end automation. Our target is to automate backup and recovery processes as much as possible, leveraging scripting and modern APIs. A key strategic initiative is the rollout of Rubrik in the cloud, integrating cloud-native capabilities into our backup and recovery landscape and supporting Commerzbank’s broader digital and cloud transformation.
