We are a real time communications company that runs on our own infrastructure. We are looking for a senior engineer to add depth to the team that runs it.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate and improve our Proxmox VE virtualisation estate across data centre sites.
- Own storage performance and integrity: architecture, replication, backups, and recovery procedures that are actually tested.
- Build and maintain infrastructure as code with Ansible and Terraform - the estate should be reproducible, not folklore.
- Run container orchestration day to day and help lead our path deeper into Kubernetes.
- Keep monitoring and alerting sharp, so problems are found by us and not by customers.
- Write things down: runbooks, diagrams and clear proposals for the changes worth making.
- Get hands on in the data centre when the work calls for it.
Qualifications
- Five or more years in DevOps or infrastructure roles at modern companies - SaaS, telecoms or infrastructure-heavy environments ideally.
- Production Kubernetes experience - designing, running and debugging real workloads. This is the biggest win.
- Proxmox experience, especially Ceph and block storage - a close second.
- Strong infrastructure-as-code habits with Ansible, Terraform or similar.
- Linux administration at scale, bare metal and virtual.
- Comfortable in production-critical environments where uptime is non-negotiable - business communications can't go down.
- UK-based, within reach of Southampton for office days and data centre visits.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Real infrastructure at real scale - your own hardware, not just someone else's cloud.
- Hybrid working from our Southampton office.
- Professional development and career growth opportunities.
- Collaborative and innovative work environment.
