About us

As a system administrator within Technical Operations, you will work in a broad area covering system and administration issues. You will be part of an administration group, and the work is carried out together with other colleagues and partners. You will belong to the Systems and Development department. The Systems and Development department (SoU) operates communication, navigation, and surveillance services. SoU is also responsible for LFV's administrative information technology, development activities, as well as system planning and procurement. The department is responsible for LFV's technical equipment for air traffic control, flight briefing services, and flight weather services.

Responsibilities

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

Your main responsibilities will 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
• Specifying requirements and following up on deliveries from external suppliers
• Actively contributing to change and release processes according to established ways of working
• Conducting risk assessments and root cause analyses in the event of incidents or deviations
• 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 simultaneously developing both the platform and the team's administration capability.

Your profile

We expect you to have an academic education, such as an engineering degree, or have acquired equivalent competence in another way. You have senior Linux competence and many years of experience working in production environments. Furthermore, you have documented experience of working in a system administration organization and are accustomed to working in ticketing systems.

You have a good understanding of container-based environments, such as Docker and Kubernetes. It is an advantage if you have experience of working with and specifying requirements to external operations and system suppliers, as well as experience of change management in a regulated or safety-critical environment. Experience from a government agency is also an advantage, as is knowledge of ITIL and pm3, and experience of participating in or leading a CAB. You have good communication skills and express yourself fluently in speech and writing in both Swedish and English.

We are looking for someone who is confident in their technical competence and is willing to share it. You are solution-oriented and goal-oriented, take responsibility for the whole, and ensure that structure is maintained even when the pace is high. With good risk awareness and respect for regulations and safety, you create effective and long-term solutions. You also have good collaboration skills and work without ego in the team.

Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.
