We are looking for someone with solid commercial infrastructure and networking experience who is comfortable working across a broad technical environment and can contribute from the outset. This isn’t a Windows Server-focused infrastructure position. We are particularly interested in engineers with strong networking skills and hands-on experience working with Linux-based server environments.
