  • Providing an ongoing blend of project work and general BAU support services.
  • Ensuring efficient deployment and standard configuration management through automation.
  • Troubleshooting issues and handle incident escalations (occasionally out-of-hours) while promoting production change management processes and procedures.

Lead Linux Platform Engineers MUST have:

  • Good experience of working with Unix and perhaps, more recently, modern cloud technology
  • Substantial experience in the deployment and management of Linux servers
  • Good knowledge of managing virtual machines
  • Demonstrable knowledge of Rest APIs, Git, PKI and SSL certificates, RedHat/Fedora, DNS, Mail, LDAP and kernel-level debugging is also highly desirable
  • Experience in automation and management of platform configuration using Ansible, Python, Puppet or similar
  • Scripting/coding experience

You will be joining a progressive and exciting company committed to excellence. They offer an excellent working environment with on-going training and a structured career path. You can also expect an excellent salary and benefits package.
