monitoring system engineer

Join our team!

KBC Group, the parent company of the Hungarian K&H Bank, is a leading European financial group with a focus on providing bank-insurance products and services to retail, private banking, SME and mid-cap clients, in our core countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria.

The KBC Services and Infrastructure division (SIN) decided on a nearshore HR strategy based on 2 locations: the core internal workforce is based in Belgium and in Hungary. Therefore not only our services are international, but also our teams.

Our responsibilities range from day-to-day operation to application development and its operation.

We are constantly expanding the Hungarian side of the team, which is why we are looking for enthusiastic, motivated new employees with junior, medior or possibly senior work experience.

The team is in charge of developing solutions that focus on monitoring and observing applications, services and infrastructure. Our users range from developers and system engineers to service delivery owners, application owners and more.

The team builds and maintains solutions that make getting insights from real-time data turnkey and efficient, such as our Infrastructure Monitoring, Log & metrics Analytics, Alerting, etc.

When developing these solutions, we think about the problem end-to-end: how do we automatically collect data from common data sources, how do we store it efficiently, how do we present this information to the user, what actions do we take on the insights from the data?

All of these aspects are important in bringing a turnkey solution to our company.

We are also responsible for the implementation of the latest products on our servers (Windows & Linux) and maintenance of these servers.
