About Silver Lining
Silver Lining, part of the Focus Group family, delivers secure communications and PCI compliance solutions to businesses across the UK. We're looking for a technically minded Infrastructure Engineer to join our specialist team based in Whiteley. This is a varied, hands-on role supporting our Voice and PCI compliant platform and the underlying infrastructure that delivers it. No two days are the same - you could be analysing SIP signalling to resolve complex call issues, capturing packet traces, commissioning a new customer, performing maintenance in our datacentres, or working directly with carriers and technology partners to troubleshoot service-impacting faults.
You'll work closely with experienced engineers, partners and customers to deliver reliable, high-quality solutions. If you're naturally curious, enjoy solving technical problems and want to develop your knowledge in voice, networking and Linux technologies, we'd like to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Investigate and resolve customer incidents relating to our PCI platform
- Capture and analyse packet captures (PCAPs) using tools such as Wireshark
- Troubleshoot SIP signalling and media-related issues
- Work with telecommunications providers, technology partners and customers to identify and resolve faults
- Configure and onboard new customer environments
- Perform routine platform maintenance and system updates
- Support Linux-based systems and associated hypervisor infrastructure
- Assist with datacentre deployments, maintenance and hardware installation
- Maintain accurate technical documentation and records
- Participate in an out-of-hours support rota and planned maintenance activities
- Contribute to continuous improvement of operational processes and platform reliability
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
