Univrses AB · Stockholm · Tills vidare
Univrses is hiring a **Senior System Administrator** to oversee its technical operations and infrastructure in Stockholm. Working closely with the CTO, the role focuses on designing, deploying, and maintaining resilient, secure environments across research, development, and production. Core duties include managing both AWS cloud and on-premise servers, monitoring system uptime, governing storage, databases, and compute resources, enforcing company-wide security, and maintaining disaster recovery plans.

Candidates must hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, alongside at least **five years of experience** in systems administration, infrastructure engineering, or site reliability engineering. Strong proficiency in Linux/Unix administration, shell scripting with Bash or Python, networking architecture, patch management, and managing AWS alongside Docker containers are required. Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation, monitoring stacks like Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK, and managing large-scale storage solutions such as S3, NAS, and Artifactory is also expected.
