About the job

The team also provides support and advice to other groups within incident management, advanced troubleshooting, and knowledge sharing.

With us, you have the opportunity for continuous development and learning at work. We actively work with competence and technology development. You have knowledgeable colleagues with whom you can exchange experiences, and you can develop both breadth and depth with us.

You receive a wellness hour each week and wellness benefits.
