Overview of the role

Focus will be on the rapidly developing services for ransomware protection and recovery. You will deliver and maintain a largely autonomous environment which in the event of a successful ransomware attack on the bank will allow the speedy recovery of multiple affected systems into ring fenced environments where they can be analysed, cleansed of any malware and rapidly recovered into the production environments.

Your area of responsibility will be to protect and recover both application data and infrastructure configuration data. Cutting edge technology, security and extensive automation will be mainstream elements of your job.

The environment you build is the last resort for Rabobank systems in the event of a ransomware attack. The nature of the clean room environment means you must be versatile and knowledgeable in multiple supporting technologies

You take responsibility to support, develop and optimize security and recovery for our compute, converged, storage, backup and archive environments with 21,000 VM’s and nearly 20 PB of data across Europe and the Americas. These systems host thousands of applications and millions of customers. You will be working in a multi-disciplinary and international team learning about multiple services within the department.
