ABOUT THE POSITION

RESPONSIBILITIES
As an Operations Centre Sysadmin at Vend, you will work with operations and monitoring of IT systems for internal and external customers, both in Sweden and across the Nordic region. You will lead the initial phase of operational IT crisis management. As you develop further, you will also drive smaller projects for the NOC, receive, improve, and build new documentation, and define requirements for internal system owners.
You will also act as 2nd line support for issues escalated from the service desk. The role is very diverse and suits those who want to work broadly and learn about many different IT disciplines, especially with tricky problem-solving, system administration, and ops-dev orientation.

We are seeking someone who enjoys working broadly in IT and has the desire to learn new things.
