In a world increasingly dominated by learning machines and artificial intelligence, we at Final are especially proud of our humans. Our elite team of exceptional individuals is the soul of our company, and we prioritize providing them with a professionally fulfilling environment that supports a healthy work–life balance.

We encourage our employees to pursue their passions outside of work and are proud to offer a variety of opportunities, resources, and an agile environment that promotes their well-being.

We are looking for a talented IT Expert to join our Storage & Virtualization team. In this role, you will serve as a subject matter expert responsible for building, maintaining, and managing Final’s virtual infrastructure and enterprise storage platforms. You will play a key role in ensuring high availability, performance, and reliability across a technically diverse and demanding environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and operate virtualization solutions that provide high availability, scalability, and performance across a complex on-premises infrastructure.
• Design, deploy, operate, and maintain enterprise storage systems, including NetApp ONTAP, VAST Data, and IBM storage platforms.
• Integrate and optimize storage solutions within virtualized environments.
• Identify and evaluate new technologies relevant to storage and virtualization.
• Automate IT processes to improve reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Final’s infrastructure.
• Collaborate with other IT domains to ensure seamless operation of core services.

• 5+ years as an IT Expert working with virtualization technologies, especially VMware.
• Deep understanding of enterprise storage systems and their integration with virtualization (NetApp ONTAP, VAST Data, IBM storage — strong advantage).
• Familiarity with OpenStack environments (compute, storage integration, networking, lifecycle operations — advantage).
• Experience designing virtualization architectures in on-premises environments; hybrid cloud experience is a plus.
• Proven hands-on experience with virtualization systems, tools, and automation platforms.
• Strong knowledge of networking and operating system fundamentals (Windows, Linux, TCP/IP, VLANs, etc.).
• Coding/scripting skills (PowerShell, Python, Bash, or similar).
• Experience with Linux distributions.
• Ability to research, learn, and implement new technologies independently — self-motivated, autodidact, and with a strong “can-do” attitude.

We are looking for a talented, tech-savvy individual to join our Cyber Security team and help us tackle the toughest security challenges in Final’s cutting-edge ecosystem.

In this role, you will be a subject matter expert and play a major part in our efforts to build and maintain Final’s security infrastructure, design secure architectures, enforce security best practices, and automate security processes.

The Cyber Security team is composed of strong and experienced security engineers, responsible for defining the security strategy and managing all of Final’s infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

• Define, implement, and maintain Final’s security policies, standards, and methodologies; ensure they evolve with new threats and technologies.
• Design, deploy, and operate detection, prevention, and response technologies across a scaled, diverse, and complex environment (hybrid infrastructure: public cloud + on-premises).
• Build and operate secure infrastructure: hands-on ownership of security configurations and system hardening.
• Conduct security assessments, secure-design reviews and architecture assurance reviews to identify and mitigate possible security risks.
• Automate security processes: configuration deployments, infrastructure management, detection, response, compliance checks, patching, configuration drift, etc.
• Design, develop, and implement secure software development and deployment pipelines, incorporating best practices, automation, and CI/CD methodologies.
• Stay ahead of emerging cyber threats and technologies: research, evaluate, pilot, and integrate where relevant.
• Participate in creating incident response playbooks, coordinate incidents investigations, root cause analysis, and lessons learned.

• 4+ years of experience in security engineering, or equivalent.
• Strong hands-on experience with security tools, services, deployment automation, and configuration management.
• Demonstrated expertise in cloud security, including low-level design of secure cloud architectures (e.g., VPCs, network segmentation, endpoints, encryption).
• Solid understanding of operating systems (Linux, Windows, macOS) and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, VLANs, routing, etc.).
• Well-versed in identity & access management: Conditional Access, Zero Trust, RBAC, identity lifecycle, access reviews, compliance, and governance.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code.
• Experience securing microservices, containerized environments and serverless.
• Strong knowledge of modern Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) practices: threat modeling, secure design, code reviews, API security, SAST/DAST/SCA.
• Programming/scripting skills to build automation, tools, and playbooks.
• Self-motivated and autodidactic, with the ability to deliver solutions end-to-end as part of a “do it yourself” approach.

Advantage:

• Relevant courses and qualifications.
• Experience in securing AWS services.
