  • Experience with enterprise backup technologies, including configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, restoration, and disaster recovery testing
  • Good understanding of backup retention, encryption, access control, off-site protection, and recovery requirements
  • Experience in server provisioning, patching, performance monitoring, vulnerability remediation, and disaster recovery
  • Working knowledge of shell scripting and automation tools such as Ansible
  • Strong analytical, documentation, communication, and stakeholder-management skills
  • Ability to participate in incident response, planned maintenance, and operational support outside normal working hours when required

Preferred

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
