• Communicate progress and risk clearly and proactively. If something is at risk of slipping, your manager and stakeholders hear it from you first, with options attached.
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, planning sessions and retrospectives as a thoughtful contributor — giving feedback that is direct, kind and grounded in evidence.
• Maintain clear, up-to-date documentation of your processes, decisions and outcomes so that teammates, new hires and adjacent teams can pick up context without needing a meeting.
• Identify recurring problems, propose pragmatic fixes, and lead the implementation of those fixes with measurable success criteria defined up front.
• Stay close to industry developments relevant to it, and bring back the ideas worth experimenting with — without chasing hype for its own sake.
• Collaborate daily with engineering, design, product, operations and customer-facing colleagues to make sure your work is grounded in what users actually need, not just what is easy to build.
• Mentor more junior teammates informally: pair on tricky problems, share resources, and help create the kind of environment where good questions are welcomed.

Requirements & Qualifications

Wavestone Germany AG is deliberately specific about what makes a candidate succeed in this role. Treat the list below as a strong guide rather than a strict checklist — the team is genuinely open to non-traditional backgrounds when the underlying skills are clearly demonstrated.

• Self-direction without isolation: you can run with a problem, but you also know when to ask for help, when to surface trade-offs and when to escalate.
• Eligibility to work in the location specified in the listing — visa sponsorship may be available for the strongest candidates; check the official application page for current policy.
• Demonstrable hands-on experience in a it-related role, ideally with a portfolio, case studies or references that show the kind of work you have shipped and the impact it had.
• Comfort working asynchronously across time zones. Most coordination happens in writing, so clarity in messages, tickets and documents matters as much as clarity in calls.
• Strong written and verbal communication in English. You should be comfortable explaining technical or complex decisions to non-specialists without being either condescending or vague.
• A pragmatic approach to problem-solving — breaking large, ambiguous problems into smaller, testable steps, and being willing to revise your plan when the evidence calls for it.
• A track record of being a good teammate. Technical skill matters, but so does how you behave in code reviews, retrospectives and difficult conversations.

About Wavestone Germany AG

Wavestone Germany AG has built its reputation in the it space by focusing on the unglamorous fundamentals: clear writing, well-documented systems, careful hiring and steady investment in the people who already work there. The company has grown deliberately rather than chasing headlines, and that shows up in the day-to-day experience of the team.

Customers, partners and former employees consistently describe the organisation as straightforward to work with. Internal practices match the external message: decisions are written down, leadership is reachable, and difficult conversations happen early rather than being deferred.

For a Senior One Identity IAM-Berater (m/w/d) (Ref.Nr.: 47227), joining Wavestone Germany AG means inheriting a foundation of good defaults — solid tooling, sensible processes, a culture of honest feedback — and being trusted to build on top of them rather than constantly fight them.

Work Environment & Culture

Culturally, Wavestone Germany AG is built around a few simple commitments: do honest work, default to writing things down, treat people as adults, and protect deep-focus time. Meetings exist when they are the right tool — and not as a substitute for thinking. Most communication happens asynchronously in shared documents and threaded discussions, which means your evenings and weekends genuinely belong to you.

New joiners frequently mention how quickly they felt they could speak up. There is no expectation that you stay quiet for the first six months; on the contrary, the team explicitly invites fresh eyes on systems, documents and processes that long-time employees have stopped questioning.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are treated as practical operating commitments, not a marketing line. Hiring panels are deliberately structured, salary bands are documented, and feedback channels exist for anyone who feels the team is falling short in practice.

Career Growth & Development

Wavestone Germany AG treats career growth as a shared responsibility. The company commits to giving you the structure, feedback and opportunities you need; you commit to engaging with that structure honestly. The result, for most people who stay more than a year, is a meaningful step up in scope, skill and seniority.

• Internal mobility: it is genuinely possible — and encouraged — to move between teams or functions once you have established yourself.
• Mentorship programmes that pair you with senior colleagues inside and outside your immediate team.
• Twice-yearly structured performance reviews, with lightweight monthly one-to-ones in between so nothing is a surprise.
• A documented career framework that shows exactly what is expected at each level and how to move between them.
• Conference and speaking support if you want to grow your public profile in the industry.
