This is your mission

Within the Security Police's area of operations for cyber technology, the authority's experts in IT security and technical vulnerability analysis gather. The purpose is both to gather information needed for our intelligence work and our preliminary investigations, as well as to ensure that our own systems are secure.

In the role of system administrator, you will be responsible for the integration, operation, and management of systems that are critical to our operational activities. The tasks consist of administering Linux and/or Windows systems as well as network components, both physically and for various types of internal and external cloud services.

You will also work on documenting our environments and automating deployment, configuration, and maintenance.

An important part is to continuously work on security-enhancing measures to ensure that our systems are secure against attackers. You will lead the work on change management in our environments and the deployment of new components according to the authority's processes, which impose high demands on IT security. Furthermore, you will serve as a technical point of contact with other IT operations within the authority.

Your placement is at the headquarters in Solna, and the work is performed on-site, which means that you do not have the opportunity to work remotely. Travel within Sweden may occur.

This is the colleague we are looking for

To fit into the role of system administrator, we see that you are social, helpful, and can translate needs into technical solutions. You approach your tasks in a structured and methodical way and are good at documenting your work.

You are creative and appreciate the challenge of solving complex problems. In addition, you see it as a given to share your knowledge with your colleagues.

The Security Police places high demands on security and confidentiality, so we expect you to have a high level of security awareness.
