Job Description

The team, position & mission:

The Systems Consultant – Storage is a technical role within the Compute & Storage department. The Storage team works closely with Compute (Virtualization) to deliver stable, predictable and reliable infrastructure services.

The team is primarily responsible for our storage infrastructure, across both shared and dedicated platforms. To succeed in this role, you should be a natural team player with strong initiative, flexibility and a proactive mindset. In the Storage team, we value quality awareness, structure and a continuous improvement mindset. If you are solution-oriented and eager to learn new technologies, this role offers a strong opportunity to develop your career within Storage and make a meaningful contribution to the industry.

The main responsibilities in this role include monitoring, operations and maintenance of Storage systems and infrastructure, with a particular focus on backup solutions, including image backup. The team currently consists of one manager, one team lead and 10 employees across Norway and Sweden, with plans to expand to 12 employees. Compute & Storage is one department consisting of two teams: Storage and Compute. The department places strong emphasis on continuous development, ensuring that we stay aligned with the latest technologies and industry’s best practices.

The consultant will be responsible for monitoring, operations, maintenance and development of Storage services, and will contribute to both internal initiatives and customer-facing projects. The role requires strong expertise across a range of storage and backup solutions. The role may occasionally involve direct customer dialogue, such as participation in sales meetings or advisory discussions, although this is not a primary responsibility. Close collaboration with Compute (Virtualization) is important, and general knowledge of VMware is considered an advantage.
