The Role
You know Linux inside out.
You’ve supported production estates, automated the repetitive work, and know that reliable infrastructure is built through good engineering rather than crossed fingers.
Now you want a role where that foundation matters, and where you can take your platform engineering further.
You’ll join a small, experienced team responsible for Linux infrastructure that underpins a business where systems need to be dependable.
You’ll improve automation, support developers, and help evolve the environment towards container platforms, Kubernetes, OpenShift and GitOps.

What you’ll need
Strong Linux engineering or systems administration experience, ideally with RHEL or CentOSHands-on automation experience with Ansible, plus Python and/or BashA solid grasp of core networking: TCP/IP, DNS, routing, load balancing and firewallsExperience using Git and supporting or working with CI/CD pipelines
