About the position as IT Specialist – Servers

Frederiksberg Municipality is looking for 1-2 IT specialists with an interest in servers. The mission is to create an admirable and up-to-date IT landscape with a user and business focus. The municipality’s IT is centralised in a department currently consisting of 40 dedicated and specialised colleagues distributed across 6 teams, with a constant focus on developing and improving the IT strategy.

You will become part of the Server, Network, and Integration team, giving you an impact on establishing and developing the IT infrastructure of Denmark’s 6th largest municipality through complex business-oriented tasks involving 7,000 users. The team consists of six employees, with two focusing on servers, three on networks, and one on integrations. Although there will be a divided task focus, it is still essential to take ownership of other processes, as there will naturally be overlaps between tasks, to provide end-users with the best experience.

The team works to ensure high availability and performance for critical systems and applications located in the municipality’s data centre. In the short term, there is a move towards outsourcing the internal data centre, with a focus on server upgrades. The team is also responsible for implementing security protocols and measures, as well as coordinating and implementing integrations between central applications. Over time, the municipality’s goal is to migrate all servers to an Azure platform and act as a sparring partner for users to ensure they have an optimal setup on the right servers.

In the role of IT Specialist, you will be responsible for the following

• The municipality’s server infrastructure and the applications hosted on it, including administration, maintenance, and optimisation of the infrastructure
• Patching of servers in VMware, databases, storage, backup, as well as maintaining documentation and an overview of the municipality’s servers and associated applications
• Automation, optimisation, and coordination of server resources, processes, and capacity
• Technical clarification of server solutions, and planning and implementation of the server solution itself
• Implementation of security protocols and measures, as well as coordinating and implementing integrations between central applications
• Development, planning, and implementation of the municipality’s server target architecture in collaboration with the municipality’s architects
