Your journey in the Cloud Accelerator Program

The Cloud Accelerator program consists of two phases with different building blocks. We start with onboarding and then move on to the "Develop & Grow" phase.

Onboarding

Joining the Cloud Accelerator program is quick and easy. Once you have been hired, you can expect intensive and exciting onboarding with three modules:

Arriving

2-3 days

We're delighted that you're on board and get straight to work. After the initial introductory events, we will provide you with the necessary technology and equipment and introduce you to the teams and your colleagues

Getting Ready

6 weeks

Now that you are part of the team, we can start with deep dives on products, processes, solutions, general concepts for cloud computing. In addition, we make you fit in Go programming, Kubernetes, as well as our Agile Working methods.

Innovation Lab

8 weeks

Time to get hands-on! In the Innovation Lab, you’ll bring concepts to life. You will apply your new knowledge directly and dive deep into our work culture: Teamwork, pair programming, and agile methods will define your daily routine. We embrace the principle of peer learning - meaning you learn from one another, support each other, and grow as a team by tackling real-world challenges.

Develop & Grow

After onboarding, we hit the ground running. Because with us, growth is the order of the day - both professionally and personally. From project management skills to communication training, our program will make you fit for the modern working world. We give you time for further education and training to gain experience.

The theory is the foundation - but you will grow above all by working in one of our product teams and supporting Cloud Engineers in the development of their services.

Growing Together

Two-day workshop

We start with an offsite event together with the Lead Engineers and all program participants. The Lead Engineers will introduce you to cloud projects that you will be working on together over the next 6 months. The main focus here is on getting to know each other and team building.

Future Innovations

6 months focus project

Now it's time to hit the ground running. You will be integrated into the daily work of the product teams using agile development methods. Here too, one of our Lead Engineers will be at your side. And this much can be revealed: This is where the hearts of all cloud fans beat faster when developing our services.

Innovation Lab

Monthly Check-ins & Training Days

  • Defining development goals
  • Reflecting on your progress
  • Accompanied by scheduled Training Days to foster your soft skills

Goal achieved: Your Cloud Accelerator certificate

Congratulations to you! You've made it and proven yourself in the Cloud Accelerator program. Now you can hit the ground running as a Junior Cloud Engineer at STACKIT. On top of that, you will receive a certificate from us at the end of the program, in which the various stations and challenges with us are recorded.
