About Sinara
Sinara is a well-established software house based in London, offering software development services and products to exchanges, financial institutions, and market data vendors. We provide robust technical expertise and adopt a pragmatic, flexible approach to delivering and supporting business-critical IT systems.
Engineering and technology is at the heart of everything we do, and we're looking for a Junior Infrastructure Engineer with a Cloud infrastructure focus to join our Technology Operations team and help us build, maintain, and improve our systems.
You will become part of a close-knit Tech Ops team of 13 professionals spanning Infrastructure, Application Support, and DevOps. If you want to pursue a career in IT infrastructure working within a software company with technically literate colleagues, you might like to apply to join us as our Junior Infrastructure Engineer.
About the role
This is a varied and challenging role within our IT team to work with our IT Director to manage and maintain the infrastructure described below. It is an opportunity to focus on Cloud infrastructure and become a subject matter expert within the company.
The Junior Infrastructure Engineer role will acquire knowledge of system and application software, networking and hardware and so will suit someone with a broad enthusiasm within IT, possibly someone who is looking for a step up in their IT infrastructure career. You will need to communicate both with Sinara’s own users and occasionally with external clients. Such contact will in general be with technically literate users. Extensive training will be provided as required.
Infrastructure:
- Our development and operational activities require a significant IT infrastructure – in our office, hosted at a major London data centre, and also in the cloud. We use a wide range of technology, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, Hyper V, Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, AWS, Azure, and we make extensive use of SQL Server and PostGreSQL databases.
