Linux DevOps Engineer | Up to £75k + On-Call | Primarily Remote (UK-Based)

This is a business at the start of an exciting new chapter. Recently acquired by one of Europe’s largest commercial audio groups, they’re scaling their platform and prepping for a wave of growth, to support the Head of Infrastructure across their 24/7 environment.

You’ll be the go-to for all things DevOps and Linux systems – automating infrastructure with Ansible, supporting live and on-demand audio services, and playing a key part in their journey to containerisation and hybrid cloud. Most workloads are on-prem (think Proxmox and VMware), with some use of AWS and GCP.

Tech you’ll need to know

• Strong Linux sysadmin experience - preferably Debian
• Comfortable across IAC, networking, and general troubleshooting in a 24/7 production environment. Proficiency in TCP/IP, DNS management, and troubleshooting network issues. Experience with BGP/OSPF and Juniper technologies is highly desirable.
• Web tech (Nginx/Apache), containerisation (Docker), cloud (AWS a bonus), and basic DB admin - MySQL or Galera is ideal
• Bonus: any experience in audio streaming or media platforms

Set-up & culture

• Team of 10: mix of infra, dev, and customer support
• Fully remote, but some occasional travel to data centres (UK & Europe)
• Choice of Mac or Windows laptop
• Salary up to £75k + £40/day on-call (£100 bank hols) + 25 days leave + TOIL policy

Who this suits

Someone hands-on, Linux-focused, who enjoys autonomy, variety, and isn’t afraid of legacy or migration challenges. Audio/media experience is a big plus, but curiosity and technical depth are what will stand out.
