Do you get energy from building software that makes a difference every day in mission-critical IT environments? And do you want to work on a platform that enables our engineers to deliver reliable services 24/7 to customers with complex infrastructures? Then you fit perfectly within our Operational Support Systems (OSS) team.

Our Operational Support Systems (OSS) department develops and manages the applications, automation, and tooling used Quanza-wide for the design, implementation, and management of large and hybrid ICT infrastructures.

You will work in an Agile environment, independently or in small teams, on user stories for improving, expanding, and maintaining the OSS platform. In doing so, you will touch all phases of software development:
