Greater Manchester (Hybrid – 2 days onsite)
We have partnered with a Manchester-based technology company that is looking for a Linux Infrastructure Engineer to join the team on an initial 12-month fixed-term contract.
Their platforms help some of the world's leading brands understand consumer behaviour by collecting and processing data at scale, and you'll play a key role in supporting the business-critical infrastructure behind these services.
You'll join a collaborative Operations team responsible for maintaining and supporting Linux-based production infrastructure, dedicated and virtual servers, and legacy VPN data capture platforms. This is a hands-on role where you'll help ensure critical systems remain secure, stable, reliable, and appropriately scaled, while troubleshooting issues and supporting day-to-day platform performance.
