About the Role
We’re looking for a DevOps Infrastructure Engineer with a strong infrastructure background who uses DevOps and automation to improve the reliability, security, and delivery of on‑premise systems.

* Build, configure, and maintain on‑prem virtual infrastructure, servers, and environments
* Administer and support Windows Server and Linux systems in a corporate environment
* Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automation, and release processes
* Automate infrastructure and operational tasks using tools such as PowerShell, Bash, Ansible, Jenkins, Git
* Manage and review security baselines, patching, and vulnerability remediation
* Collaborate with developers and engineers to ensure solutions are secure, reliable, and fit for purpose
* Troubleshoot infrastructure issues and implement fixes effectively
* Produce and maintain technical documentation and knowledge base content
* Contribute to infrastructure projects and continuous improvement initiatives
* Provide accurate technical input and updates to stakeholders
