  • 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.

  • Flexible hybrid working model.
