- Providing deep technical expertise across Windows Server or Linux (RHEL or Ubuntu) operating systems.
- Managing and optimising VMware virtualisation platforms to ensure performance, scalability, and availability.
- Automating day-to-day tasks and infrastructure deployments through scripting (PowerShell, Bash, or Python highly desirable).
- Troubleshooting complex infrastructure issues across compute, storage, and virtualisation layers.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver a modern, highly resilient technology environment.
What We're Looking For:
- Proven experience as a Senior Systems Administrator in enterprise-scale environments.
- Deep expertise in either Windows Server or Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu) platforms.
- Strong hands-on experience with VMware virtualisation technologies.
- Scripting skills in PowerShell, Bash, or Python would be a huge advantage.
- Previous experience working on data centre migrations or infrastructure transformation projects is highly desirable.
- A collaborative mindset and a passion for solving technical challenges.
Why Join?
- Be part of a greenfield transformation program with the freedom to shape future infrastructure environments.
- Work in a high-performing, collaborative environment alongside some of the best engineers in the industry.
- Flexible hybrid working model.
