• Teamwork and problem-solving skills as well as flexible working approach will help you succeed in this role

• This position requires a relevant higher education degree (e.g., in IT or statistics). We also welcome applications from recent graduates with work experience and demonstrated skills in similar tasks

You’ll be supported by experts working in similar roles, and your colleagues are involved in the Vipunen service and other CSC services in various roles. We work in a hybrid model and meet regularly at the office.
