Job Responsibilities

Do you want to contribute to a stable and sustainable management of critical societal systems? As a senior system administrator focusing on Linux and container-based system platforms, you will work with the technical management of flight information systems within the aviation sector. You will be part of a team that works to create a robust and professional management capability of the systems, where collaboration between operations, technology, and suppliers is central, and where quality, clarity, and responsibility permeate all work.

Your main job responsibilities include:

• Ensuring technical quality, stability, and long-term sustainability within the Linux part of the platform
• Reviewing, analyzing, and quality-assuring technical changes before implementation
• Identifying, initiating, and driving improvements related to robustness, performance, monitoring, and security

• Documenting and working in a structured, transparent, and traceable manner
• Sharing knowledge and supporting more junior colleagues, as well as contributing to the development of internal competence

The role gives you the opportunity to contribute your experience, stability, and long-term perspective in a complex and regulated environment, while also developing both the platform and the team's management capability.

You have senior Linux expertise and many years of experience working in a production environment. Furthermore, you have documented experience working in a system management organization and good familiarity with working in issue management systems.
