This is your assignment

As a DevOps Technician, you will be part of a team with overall responsibility for container and Linux environments, including the development, operations, and lifecycle management of these environments.

Your duties include ensuring that current and new solutions meet high availability and security requirements.

The role offers you the opportunity to work in a complex IT environment and influence the development of next-generation technology platforms.

You will have the opportunity to contribute in an agile environment and see how new technology can make Sweden even safer.

Your placement is at our regional office in Linköping, and the work is performed on-site, meaning you do not have the option to work remotely. Travel within and outside Sweden may occur.

These are the qualifications we are looking for

Only those who meet the following requirements will be considered for the position.

Requirements:

• At least two years of technical post-secondary education or work experience that the Swedish Security Service considers equivalent.
• Several years of experience administering Linux infrastructure.
• Experience with container technology.
• Very good ability to communicate in Swedish, both orally and in writing.
• Good ability to communicate in English, both orally and in writing.

The position requires Swedish citizenship.

You may also have competencies that add breadth and complementary perspectives. If you can contribute with any or several of the following, it is meritorious:

This is the colleague we are looking for

Welcome to a workplace where curiosity about new technologies is prominent, and we offer you the opportunity to responsibly and proactively help develop and influence future technology choices and solutions.

You will work with significant autonomy in an operation that fluctuates between planned and event-driven work, where special events may occur that increase the need for your expertise. You must be able to act independently with great accuracy and have the ability to reprioritize and adapt to the current situation.

You promote collaboration and have a positive expectation of others, creating a safe, open climate aimed at understanding others' perspectives and good intentions. We consider it natural that you share knowledge and experiences and motivate others to do the same, while maintaining a positive and constructive approach to giving and receiving feedback in our daily work.

The Swedish Security Service places high demands on security and confidentiality; therefore, we assume you have a high level of security awareness.
