Collaboration and Professional Growth: Work collaboratively with colleagues across academic and operational teams to understand requirements and deliver effective technical solutions. Respond to and resolve assigned Helpdesk tickets related to Veracross, applications, data, and integrations, in line with departmental service expectations. Escalate issues appropriately and keep stakeholders informed of progress. Participate in team meetings, planning, and professional development. Perform other duties within the scope, spirit, and purpose of the role, as requested by the Digital Integration Manager or Director of Technology.

The Role You'll be responsible for the heartbeat of their customer platforms, keeping complex, high-availability systems running 24/7 for clients who simply cannot afford downtime. This is far more than a maintenance position. You'll be optimising performance, designing resilient architectures, and on occasion travelling internationally to support client deployments. Key Responsibilities Database Mastery: Performance-tuning and maintaining Microsoft SQL Server (Availability Groups and Replication), ensuring rock-solid reliability across all environments. Infrastructure Resilience: Configuring firewalls, VPNs and networking to deliver seamless, secure connectivity at all times. Virtualisation: Managing vCenter and vSphere environments that host mission-critical applications. Client Support: Providing technical expertise for internal systems and occasionally supporting international client installations when needed. Best Practice: Documenting processes and maintaining a standard of excellence across every deployment. What They're Looking For You're a pragmatic problem-solver who enjoys the variety of managing both the data and the infrastructure it lives on. You don't need to be handed a task list. You spot what needs doing and you get on with it. Essential Experience Strong proficiency in Microsoft SQL Server and preferably, but not essentially, also MySQL, with solid High Availability knowledge including Clusters, Replication and Galera. A firm understanding of networking and security (firewalls, VPN configuration), hands-on VMware experience (vSphere and vCenter), and a full UK driving licence. As the site is rurally located, your own transport is a must. Nice to Have Exposure to Neo4J or cloud technologies, knowledge of Linux (Ubuntu) and Active Directory, an interest in IoT protocols such as MQTT or LoRaWAN, IP camera systems, or experience delivering technical training to non-technical audiences. Why This Role? This is an environment where innovation is genuinely rewarded and your contribution is visible. The package reflects that. Reward: Competitive salary plus a Class A share reward scheme for exceptional contributors, company pension and financial planning services. Growth: Structured mentoring and a clear pathway into broader Cyber Security or Lead Infrastructure roles. Culture: A collaborative, open-door team where your voice carries real weight, built on three simple values: collaborative, supportive, innovative. Wellbeing: Health and wellbeing programme and free on-site parking. Purpose: You'll be working on award-winning, UK-designed products that have a genuine real-world impact on global security. Secure Today. Protect Tomorrow. Next Steps If you're looking for more variety, more responsibility and more meaning than a standard DBA or SysAdmin role can offer, we'd love to hear from you.
