In the role of Operations Centre Sysadmin at Vend, you will work with the operation and monitoring of IT systems for internal and external customers, both in Sweden and across the Nordics. You will lead the initial part of the operational IT crisis management. As you develop further, you will also drive smaller projects on behalf of the NOC, receive, improve, and build new documentation, and set requirements towards internal system owners.

You will also act as 2nd line support for cases escalated from the service desk. The role is very varied and suits you who want to work broadly and learn a lot about many different IT disciplines, especially with tricky problem-solving, system administration, and opsdev orientation.
