This is an excellent opportunity for someone from a hosting/provisioning IT Infrastructure background who is new to cloud and looking to build their career in cloud and DevOps technologies.

You will assist the Azure and Hosting Platform Manager's by performing cloud based operational support, including level 2 triage and change requirements. You will help by ensuring the cloud environments are ready by providing the necessary DevOps tooling to our on premise and cloud estates.

• You are an experienced Infrastructure Engineer with a desire to adopt Cloud and DevOps.
• You have experience in most of the following:
• Knowledge of Cloud technologies (Azure or similar)
• Active Directory Domain Services
• Serverless/PaaS (Azure Functions etc).
• VmWare Virtualisation Technologies

And in return, you'll get the best from us:

• An annual colleague bonus of up to 12%
• Hybrid working with 60% of your time at home
• Matched pension contributions of up to 10%
• 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme of up to 5 days each year
• Colleague Mortgage and Saver products
• Electric vehicle scheme
• 2 days' volunteering per year

We'll give you a place to belong with the support to learn, develop and shape a meaningful career.
