Infrastructure Specialist

London (hybrid – approx. 4 days per month on-site) | Insurance / Financial Services Excellent salary, plus on-call and annual company bonus.

Are you a hands-on infrastructure engineer who'd rather automate a problem away than firefight it every week? This is a role for someone who sees the manual toil in a team's day and quietly engineers it out.

A well-established London insurance business is hiring an Infrastructure Specialist into its core IT team – a genuine 3rd/4th line role with real technical depth and a clear move towards Dev Ops practices.

• A primarily AWS estate, with workloads actively migrating into Azure
• VMware virtualisation across the environment
• Windows Server and Linux operating systems
• A growing Dev Ops toolset – Terraform, Ansible, and scripting (Python, Power Shell, YAML)
• Some upgrade project work alongside BAU: SQL Server 2016→2019 upgrade and a Windows Server 2016 migration ahead of end-of-life

This team wants a proactive engineer, not a ticket-clearer. You'll be given the room to develop processes and automation that measurably reduce the team's workload – and the impact you make will be visible. Strong communication matters just as much as the tech, as you'll collaborate closely with stakeholders and other support teams over Teams.

• London-based, but only around 4 days a month on-site
• Paid On-call commitment of roughly 1 week in 10
• Permanent role within a stable, well-resourced IT function

• Strong VMware and Windows Server experience
• Solid AWS (and ideally Azure) cloud exposure
• A real automation/Dev Ops mindset with scripting ability
• Excellent communication and a proactive, ownership-driven approach
