* Drive the definition and delivery of fully functional sub-systems, leveraging existing development assets and reference designs to accelerate deployment and innovation.
* Refine and enhance infrastructure software and hardware components, adapting designs to meet current and future demands while supporting successful on-site implementation.
************ About you...
***** Linux system administration experience – Although we use Red Hat, happy with most Linux Distros, examples are:
Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Linux Mint, Debian, and Arch Linux
* Networking experience – CCNA certification or equivalent experience is desired
* High availability (HA) Virtualised environments– VMware related technologies
* Comfortable working onsite as the sole Engineer and with short delivery timelines
** How can we support you…
** Many of our staff work flexibly in many different ways, including part-time. Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you need and we’ll always do our best to accommodate your request.

Please let us know if you need us to make any reasonable adjustments for the selection process – you can share this with your Talent Acquisition Partner if you are invited to interview. Examples may include (but not exclusive to) accessible facilities; auxiliary aids; room layout, etc. Any information disclosed will be treated in the strictest confidence

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
