Operate, maintain, and continuously improve FNZ’s production security platforms to ensure reliability, performance, and operational effectiveness.
The role combines hands-on platform operation with engineering improvements that enhance platform capability and reduce operational overhead.
Responsibilities include:
Configuring, operating, and optimising enterprise security platforms
Supporting platform upgrades, patching, and lifecycle management
Monitoring platform health, reliability, and performance
Troubleshooting operational issues across security platforms
Ensuring platforms operate in line with FNZ’s global security and operational standards
Assisting with automation of platform configuration and operational workflows
Supporting integrations between security platforms and internal systems
