Job description

Overview

Senior Infrastructure Engineer (Windows & Linux)

£55k - £65k + Bonus
Cambridge (must be within 45 mins)

You're probably not actively looking for a new role. You're good at what you do, your setup works, and job hunting isn't high on your list. But every now and then an opportunity comes along that's worth a closer look. This could be it.

This isn't just another standard infrastructure job. It's your chance to step closer into becoming an architect focusing more on the design and implementation, rather than just supporting what's already in place. You will be shaping and future-proofing IT infrastructure for one of Cambridge's software houses.

You'll be trusted to make strategic decisions, lead key projects, and become the technical authority the business relies on as it grows.

Why this role stands out

• Architect and optimise a high-performance infrastructure spanning Windows and Linux
• Lead cloud, virtualisation, and automation initiatives
• Define disaster recovery, security, and compliance frameworks
• Provide technical leadership and mentor engineers
• Play a pivotal role in aligning IT with business strategy

What\'s in it for you

• Hybrid working (3 days remote)
• Generous bonus scheme
• Free parking in Cambridge
• Regular "Lunch & Learn" sessions to keep your skills sharp
• A genuine step up into a strategic, architectural role
• Job Security!

What we\'re looking for

• Strong expertise in a Windows environment, with some previous Linux experience
• Experience delivering enterprise-scale solutions across cloud and on-prem
• Knowledge of AD, Office 365, Exchange, Hyper-V, SCCM, automation tools
• Confident with scripting (PowerShell, Bash)
• Strong grasp of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, firewalls)
• Within a 45-minute commute of Cambridge and eligible to work in the UK
