We are particularly interested in people who enjoy experimenting with technology outside their day job, whether that means running Linux at home, trying different distributions, building a homelab, self-hosting services, or automating their own environment.
This role would suit someone who enjoys hands-on endpoint engineering but wants the opportunity to develop deeper Linux, infrastructure, automation, and SRE skills over time.
