  • Perform system monitoring, performance tuning, and troubleshooting to ensure availability and reliability of IT systems.
  • Maintain Thales Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) to ensure the security and integrity of cryptographic keys and sensitive data.
  • Plan and execute system upgrades, patches, and security updates in accordance with change management processes and best practices.
  • Maintain accurate documentation of system configurations, procedures, and troubleshooting steps to facilitate knowledge sharing and support continuity of operations.
  • What you'll bring:
  • Active Directory Administration.
  • Delinea Administration.

  • It would be great if you had:
  • Scripting and Automation.
  • Security Best Practices.
  • ITIL Framework.
  • Ability to troubleshoot and problem solve database related errors.
  • Active SC or DV clearance.
  • If you are interested in this role but not sure if your skills and experience are exactly what we're looking for, please do apply, we'd love to hear from you! Although this role is advertised as full-time, we believe that flexibility at work can promote work/life balance, increase your motivation, reduce stress and improves performance and productivity.
