Job Description

Do you want to contribute to a safer society? Then you might be our next colleague at CERT-SE – Sweden's national CSIRT tasked with handling and preventing IT security incidents and cyber attacks.

MSB works for a safer society in a changing world. We strengthen Sweden's ability to function in crisis and even in war. This means that all our employees contribute to a country where people are prepared: From north to south, we spread knowledge and take action to protect life and health, societal functionality, and fundamental values such as democracy, legal certainty, and human rights.

Responsibilities

Our mission in the technical resources unit is to provide CERT-SE with the technical systems and tools needed to effectively handle and prevent IT security incidents and cyber attacks. We are currently facing an exciting expansion of our IT environment in consideration of requirements in NIS2 and upcoming integration into the national cybersecurity center. As a system administrator, you will be part of a competent and dedicated team that ensures that the IT environment and applications meet the organization's needs and security requirements. In the role of senior system administrator, you and the team will be responsible for the development and administration of CERT-SE's internal IT infrastructure. The tasks include, among others:

• Continuous improvements of the infrastructure
• Troubleshooting and corrections
• System hardening
• Lifecycle management
• Documentation

In addition, you will participate in the planning, monitoring, and analysis of our entire IT environment and support the organization in technical matters. CERT-SE offers good opportunities for competence development through training, exercises, external collaboration, and knowledge exchange both within and outside Sweden. There is also the possibility in the long run to participate in CERT-SE's operational analysis work together with our IT security specialists. CERT-SE participates annually in several national and international cyber exercises. You will have the opportunity to participate in these exercises and CTFs to develop both your own and our capabilities.
