Department Overview
The Cyber Security Team protects Nødnett by enabling early detection of threats and vulnerabilities and supporting effective incident response.
The team designs, builds, owns and operates a hardened, segmented on-prem security enclave used for security monitoring, investigation and incident response support, in close cooperation with Operations/NOC and external security partners (mnemonic) and the network owner (DSB).
Job Description
  • Own engineering and day-to-day operations of the security enclave platform for monitoring, investigation and incident response support.

  • Design and operate security zones, trust boundaries and controlled flows (incl. DMZ patterns).

  • Operate and harden enclave infrastructure and core services (virtualization, Linux, containers, identity/time/name services).

  • Maintain monitoring/alerting for availability, capacity and security-relevant signals.

  • Maintain backup/recovery with tested restores and documented procedures.

  • Own vulnerability handling in operations: prioritisation, patch/mitigation, verification, and documentation of risk decisions and status.

  • Ensure telemetry quality and investigation readiness: onboarding/validation, time synchronisation, normalization where feasible, and identification of coverage gaps.

  • Support incidents with safe engineering actions (e.g., containment-support changes, enabling additional telemetry, evidence-friendly data collection) with clear documentation.

  • Build and maintain runbooks/playbooks and automation; convert lessons learned into continuous improvements.

  • Provide status reporting and maintain accurate documentation for traceability and operational use during incidents.


Basic Requirements

Education and experience:

  • Relevant technical degree with minimum 3 years relevant experience, or minimum 5 years relevant experience with good references.

Core engineering foundation (expected competence):

  • Network operations fundamentals including routing/switching, filtering, firewall policy work and strict segmentation.

  • Linux administration and troubleshooting in production (Ubuntu/Debian; Windows familiarity where needed for integration/monitoring).

  • Practical storage and failure-mode understanding; capacity and reliability considerations.

  • TLS/certificates and certificate lifecycle handling for service identity and secure communication.

  • Identity and access management principles and lifecycle in segmented environments.

  • Virtualization and container operations, including container networking concepts used for isolation/segmentation (e.g., macvlan patterns).

  • Scripting and version control for repeatable operations (Bash/Python; Git-based workflows).

  • Operational monitoring (health/performance/availability) and log/telemetry interpretation.

  • Backup and recovery design and operations, including tested restores and offline/segmented constraints where relevant.

  • DevOps-style practices: versioned configuration, infrastructure-as-code, controlled automation and lifecycle management.

Security engineering competence (expected competence):

  • Secure architecture with zones, trust boundaries and least-privilege flows.

  • Hardening and secure configuration baselines; verification and drift awareness.

  • Vulnerability management under time pressure (patch/mitigate/contain; verify; document decisions).

  • Reliability engineering for fault tolerance and graceful degradation.

  • Telemetry onboarding and maintenance; visibility gap identification and improvement.

  • Detection/detection-support engineering using available telemetry and threat-informed methods (as applicable to platform role).

  • Response readiness: operate tooling and workflows that support safe containment and investigation.

  • Security monitoring and incident response support with evidence-friendly handling and disciplined documentation.

  • Risk identification, treatment proposals, and traceable documentation of decisions.

Tools/technology (expected practical experience):

  • Segmentation and firewall/switching operations (Cisco/FortiGate or equivalent).

  • Virtualization platform operations (HPE VM Essentials or equivalent).

  • Elastic Stack (or equivalent) for telemetry/search/investigation readiness; Kafka or similar components is relevant.

  • GitLab (or equivalent) for docs/tickets/version control/automation workflows.

  • Docker in production operations and troubleshooting.

Soft-skills:

  • Structured and rigorous; disciplined documentation and change practices.

  • Calm under pressure; able to execute safe changes during incidents.

  • Strong prioritisation (planned platform work vs urgent incident-driven needs).

  • Collaborative and communicative across engineering, operations and external partners.

  • High integrity and discretion in sensitive environments.

Language Skills:

  • Fully fluent in Norwegian and English (spoken and written).

Security clearance and authorisation:

  • Norwegian security clearance at HEMMELIG (Secret) level before accession.

  • Authorisation: BEGRENSET (RESTRICTED) as required.

  • Clearance/authorisation must be maintained throughout employment.

  • Norwegian citizenship required; background checks apply.

  • Primary residence within reasonable travel distance to Kabelgata (Oslo), as required for the role.
