Additionally, responsibilities encompass archiving and backup, identity management (IdM), and automated configuration and update management (Ansible).

Considering the diverse skill set within our team, we welcome applicants from different IT backgrounds in system and network administration. It is not expected that candidates already have experience with all the listed technologies or be responsible for all of them upon hiring.
