Overview
We're looking to strengthen our IT Infrastructure Team with a Linux / Network Engineer. This role reflects increasing demand for Linux and networking expertise across both our client project work and our core infrastructure, including a planned expansion of work within our secure environments.
The role
This role will increase our Linux and Network capability at a senior level. You'll work alongside other Systems Engineers to design, implement, maintain and support physical and virtualised Linux operating systems across our corporate estate, our secure environments, and infrastructure delivered for client projects.
