What you'll be doing
We’re modernising with cloud: a platform that is quick, secure and resilient for customers, and easy, modern and green for developers.
We’re looking for Infrastructure Specialists to join our Private Cloud Platform team, specialising in VMware technologies with a particular focus on VMware Cloud Foundation.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of an ambitious team driving our technology modernisation agenda and helping us become the biggest FinTech in the UK. The role is firmly focused on automation-first platform engineering, shaping how infrastructure platforms, including VMware Cloud Foundation and Dell hardware, are built, deployed and operated through infrastructure-as-code. You'll help reduce manual intervention and enable safe, repeatable change at scale.
We’re looking for hands-on Infrastructure Specialists to help deliver the next generation of compute hosting platforms across our Private Cloud ecosystem. You'll design, build, operate and continuously improve services running on VMware and Bare Metal platforms.
Using platform engineering and infrastructure-as-code principles, you'll drive automation, resilience, security and operational excellence across the platform lifecycle.
As a technical authority, you'll provide expert guidance while working with internal teams, partners and vendors to deliver scalable, secure infrastructure solutions.
Why join us?
We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone.
