Is this the Linux Infrastructure Engineer role for you?
Creideas are partnered with a fast-growing SaaS client who are looking to add a Linux Infrastructure Engineer to the team on a permanent basis.

You’ll also prepare, review and execute changes, troubleshoot issues, and improve the platform through automation and documentation.
