Due to our consistent growth, we are expanding our IT Service currently consisting of two people. You’ll help users with all the IT solutions and be part of structural IT projects, system, network and security. Our infrastructure is totally on the cloud, so there are no servers to manage in our office.

A roadmap with some IT projects is already defined, but your point of view and your experience can be shared to adapt it. You’ll have to discuss with all users and be able to explain solutions that we’ll install and configure. You must find the solution with the least impact during the implementation phases.
