The Role

Wat ga je als Elastic Security & Observability engineer bij onze klant Defensie doen?
Jij gaat als Elastic observability specialist een belangrijke bijdrage leveren aan het ontwikkelen van observability oplossingen voor applicatie en Infrastructuur beheerders/ontwikkelaars. Bij het ontwikkelen van deze oplossingen denken je samen met de klant end-to-end na over de uitdaging: hoe verzamelen je automatisch data uit gemeenschappelijke databronnen, hoe slaan je deze efficiënt op in Elasticsearch, hoe presenteer je deze informatie aan de gebruiker en welke acties moeten ondernomen worden om de rauwe data om te zetten in bruikbare informatie.

Jou taak is werken aan UI's en API's in Kibana voor observability-gebruikers. Je werkt samen met het UI-team en productbeheer om hoogwaardige, intuïtieve en innovatieve UI's en robuuste API's te bouwen om de ervaring te stimuleren.

Daarnaast werk je voornamelijk aan IT operations data analytics en je zet deze om naar (Elastic) Rules ten behoeve van het IT operationeel support. Daarnaast ondersteun je het IT Operations team met het verder automatiseren van de (zero touch) deployment van de IT Operations product suite middels Ansible.

Verder wordt je verantwoordelijk voor het implementeren van de Security modules binnen Elastic.

Daaronder valt bijvoorbeeld het analyseren van data tegen SIEM regels om bepaalde activiteit te detecteren om zo een hogere mate van beveiliging neer te zetten.

  • Waar ga je werken?
    Je zult hybride werken. Een aantal dagen per week werk je vanuit een klantlocatie in het midden van het land, danwel vanuit het hoofdkantoor van Kyndryl in Hoofddorp en een aantal dagen per week werk je vanuit huis.

  • Belangrijk om te weten: om voor Defensie te mogen werken moet je in het bezit zijn van de Nederlandse nationaliteit en een Nederlands paspoort. Je moet ook Nederlands kunnen spreken en schrijven.

  • Het hoofdkantoor van Kyndryl Nederland is gevestigd in het duurzame Pharos gebouw in Hoofddorp. Onze Kyndryl Social Club organiseert regelmatig informele en inspirerende activiteiten. 

    Wat bieden wij jou?  

  • Educatieprogramma’s en certificeringen om je kennis te verbreden en verdiepen 
  • Je werkt samen met ervaren collega’s 
  • Verschillende doorgroeimogelijkheden, afhankelijk van je ervaring en interesse 
  • Een open en inclusieve cultuur 
  • De Kyndryl Social Club organiseert regelmatig borrels en andere leuke activiteiten 
  • Kyndryl Cares: jij kunt 1 dag per jaar vrijwilligerswerk doen zonder dat het je wat kost 
  • De ruimte om je werktijden flexibel in te delen en thuis te werken 
  • De tools om je werk uit te oefenen: een mobiele telefoon die je ook privé kunt gebruiken en de keuze uit een Macbook of Lenovo laptop 
  • Een maandelijkse internetvergoeding 
  • Een bijdrage aan je pensioen: als je bij Kyndryl werkt ben je automatisch aangesloten bij het SPIN pensioenfonds 
  • Ruime regelingen voor bijvoorbeeld partnerverlof   

Part-time werken is in overleg mogelijk vanaf 32 uur per week.

Onze ambitie is maximale automatisering van infrastructuurlevering en -beheer. In deze rol werk je nauw samen met diverse teams om slimme automatiseringsoplossingen te ontwikkelen die de operationele efficiëntie verhogen en de kwaliteit van onze dienstverlening verder verbeteren.
