At Vodafone, we’re working hard to build a better future. A more connected, inclusive and sustainable world. As a dynamic global community, it's our human spirit, together with technology, that empowers us to achieve this. 

We challenge and innovate in order to connect people, businesses, and communities across the world. Delighting our customers and earning their loyalty drive us, and we experiment, learn fast and get it done, together.

With us, you can be truly be yourself and belong, share inspiration, embrace new opportunities, thrive, and make a real difference.

Your day to day:

  • Develop, manage, and optimize IBM Informix Databases, ensuring efficiency and reliability.
  • Work with PHP to integrate and maintain Informix-based applications.
  • Support and troubleshoot 3rd-level incidents—because sometimes, things don’t go as planned.
  • Collaborate with teams using Agile and Waterfall methodologies (yes, both—because flexibility is key).
  • Utilize Java (beginner to mid-level) when needed, but don’t worry, you won’t be thrown into deep Java waters.
  • Communicate in German with stakeholders—clarifying requirements and ensuring smooth project delivery.

With these activities you will have a great impact on our business:

  • Keep critical applications running smoothly by troubleshooting and managing Informix databases.
  • Contribute to both IT delivery and application administration, ensuring high availability and performance.
  • Play a key role in project delivery, from development to release, supporting business needs with smart solutions.
  • Help maintain a structured and efficient development workflow, reducing surprises and last-minute fixes.

With these skills you are a great candidate:

Must-Have:

  • Strong experience with Informix DB—developing, managing, and optimizing it.
  • PHP expertise, especially in combination with Informix DB.
  • Experience with Agile and Waterfall delivery methodologies.
  • Mid-senior level experience with PHP and Informix DB.
  • Beginner to mid-level Java—just enough to be dangerous (in a good way).

Nice-to-Have:

  • German language skills—to collaborate effectively with stakeholders.
  • Project management skills—supporting releases and agile scrums.
  • Strong communication skills—to bridge the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders.
