As an infrastructure engineer, you will be part of a team responsible for the ongoing support and development of a MultiCloud platform, as well as the delivery of new dedicated customer cloud environments such as Private Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service. You will also provide an escalation point for Service Desk Third Line engineers to aid with incident resolution and operational support. You will be expected to have input into the development of the environments you support by helping identify more productive technologies and methods of operating for the business. Knowledge and enthusiasm for automation, DevOps or NetOps would be advantageous. The role is customer-facing, and as a technical lead for delivery and support, you will be expected to work closely with customers, end users, and technical partners. As such, the role is a mixture of BAU support, internal project work and customer-facing project work. This is a very challenging role that will give the successful candidate exposure to all levels of our business and will include the opportunity to work on a wide range of technologies. You will have previous experience in supporting and managing data centre solutions (networks, servers, storage, and applications).
