Keep Systems Secure, Scalable, and Future-Ready

We’re looking for a Cloud/Server Engineer who thrives on keeping IT infrastructure reliable, secure, and high-performing. In this role, you’ll design, implement, and maintain the server and cloud systems that support critical business operations — from AWS and Azure platforms to databases and disaster recovery plans.

You’ll also play a pivotal role in vulnerability management and security strategy, helping strengthen defences and respond to incidents in environments where uptime, scalability, and resilience are essential.

If you enjoy a mix of hands-on server engineering and big-picture problem-solving, this role offers both variety and impact.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field.
• 5+ years’ engineering experience in high-stakes production environments.
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and server management.
• Familiarity with automated vulnerability scanning tools.
• Skills in scripting or programming (e.g., PHP, HTML, Ruby on Rails, PowerShell).
• Experience with endpoint troubleshooting and database support (MySQL, Postgres).
• A proactive, adaptable, and solutions-driven mindset.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and manage server infrastructure (cloud and on-prem).
• Support and manage AWS and Azure environments.
• Manage and maintain MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
• Enhance vulnerability management processes and triage identified risks.
• Collaborate with risk and compliance teams to resolve vulnerabilities and improve security posture.
• Conduct and support internal and external penetration testing.
• Install, configure, and maintain server hardware and software.
• Monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure availability and scalability.
• Perform regular security audits, updates, and compliance checks.
• Manage backups, disaster recovery plans, and virtualization solutions.
• Document configurations, policies, and procedures for knowledge sharing.
• Provide technical support and guidance to internal teams.

Why Join This Team

• Work on Projects That Matter – Support technologies driving innovation across industries, from robotics to advanced digital platforms.
• Collaboration and Growth – Work alongside engineers, security specialists, and technology experts in a supportive environment that values your voice.
• Global Exposure – Contribute locally while being part of an organisation with reach and impact across continents.
• Room to Grow – Access ongoing training, industry events, and career development opportunities in a fast-growing company.
• Opportunities for career progression and global exposure.

If you’re passionate about cloud, servers, and security and you’re ready to contribute to projects with real-world impact – we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and help us keep tomorrow’s technology secure and scalable.
