Vacant job

Do you want to work with business-critical infrastructure where availability, security, and quality actually matter? Generic is now looking for a system engineer in platform and infrastructure who wants to take responsibility for the operation, development, and enhancement of our technical environments. At Generic, you work closely with both development and operations in an environment where decisions are made close to the technology. The role is suitable for you if you are mid-level or senior, comfortable with Linux and networking, and want to work more with systems, platforms, and automation – not just 'keeping the lights on'.

Information about the position

Professionals Nord is seeking a system engineer in data and networking on behalf of Generic. The position is a direct recruitment, which means that the recruitment process is conducted through Professionals Nord and that you will be employed directly by Generic.

This recruitment process is managed by Professionals Nord, and Generic's request is that all questions regarding the position go to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]).

You are offered

At Generic, you will work with critical societal technology in environments with high demands for stability, security, and data integrity. Here, responsible engineering is combined with a flat organization, short decision-making paths, and a large technical mandate.

You will:

• Work with business-critical infrastructure and platforms
• Take ownership of systems, improvements, and technical decisions
• Be involved in developing both existing environments and new platform and cloud initiatives
• Work in a team that values straightforward communication, structure, and quality

The entire company gathers twice a year to build culture and community. Generic believes in transparency, collaboration, and that everyone should know everyone.

The tasks involve:

As a system engineer in platform and infrastructure, you are a key person in the operation of Generic's business-critical environments. The role combines operational responsibility with development and improvement of systems, networks, and platforms, as well as on-call duty according to schedule and support to colleagues and customer service when needed.

You will work with:

• Operation, troubleshooting, and improvement of Linux-based systems
• Networking and security: routing, switching, firewalls, and VPN
• Container and virtualization environments (e.g., Kubernetes)
• Change management: planning, execution, documentation, and rollback
• Monitoring, incident management, and root cause analysis
• Security and compliance, e.g., according to ISO 27001
• Third-line support to customer service and internal teams for more complex issues

Some practical tasks in the data center may occur during changes or incidents, but are not the main focus of the role.

You will be based at one of Generic's operations offices or data centers and report to, and work closely with, Generic's CTO Fredrik.

We are looking for someone who:
We place great emphasis on personal qualities. You are self-driven, structured, and take responsibility for your systems. You work methodically when troubleshooting, document clearly, and are used to making decisions even when information is incomplete.

You are comfortable in technical environments, communicate clearly in both Swedish and English, and thrive in roles where you can combine operational work with long-term improvements.

Expected experience

• Linux in production (troubleshooting, network services, logs, packages)
• Networking: switching/routing, VLAN, BGP/OSPF (basic)
• Firewalls and VPN: policy/ACL, NAT, IPsec/SSL-VPN
• Monitoring and incident management (alerts, analysis, runbooks)
• Change management in business-critical environments

Preferred experience

• Container platforms: Kubernetes, containers
• Automation: Ansible, Bash, and/or Python
• Virtualization: VMware or equivalent
