About the Role

We’re looking for a DevOps Infrastructure Engineer with a strong infrastructure background who uses DevOps and automation to improve the reliability, security, and delivery of on‑premise systems.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build, configure, and maintain on‑prem virtual infrastructure, servers, and environments
• Administer and support Windows Server and Linux systems in a corporate environment
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automation, and release processes
• Automate infrastructure and operational tasks using tools such as PowerShell, Bash, Ansible, Jenkins, Git
• Manage and review security baselines, patching, and vulnerability remediation
• Collaborate with developers and engineers to ensure solutions are secure, reliable, and fit for purpose
• Troubleshoot infrastructure issues and implement fixes effectively
• Produce and maintain technical documentation and knowledge base content
• Contribute to infrastructure projects and continuous improvement initiatives
• Provide accurate technical input and updates to stakeholders

Hands‑on Windows Server administration (2016/2019/2022)

Strong Linux system administration (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu or similar)

Experience with virtualisation technologies such as VMware or Nutanix

Proven experience implementing DevOps practices in an infrastructure environment

CI/CD tooling experience (e.g. Jenkins, Git, Artifactory)
