- Offer broader infrastructure expertise to support cloud, virtualisation, Kubernetes, and cross-platform integration as needed.
- Collaborate across Infrastructure, Cloud & Apps teams and wider IT, translating business needs into technical solutions.
Support & Collaboration
- Act as a single point of contact for technical escalations, mentoring junior engineers and vendor/supplier interactions.
- On-call responsibilities during race season or high-pressure phases to resolve critical incidents.
