Infrastructure Test Analyst
Location: Hybrid / London
Salary: £40,000 to £45,000 per annum + benefits
Client: UK-based consultancy that helps organisations deliver digital transformation – offering managed services, cloud infrastructure and professional services (often around Microsoft Cloud)
We're looking for an Infrastructure Test Analyst who lives and breathes the foundations of modern platforms – networks, servers, cloud, deployments, the whole engine room. If you enjoy validating complex systems, spotting weaknesses before they become outages, and generally keeping chaos at bay, you'll fit right in.
* Testing infrastructure across network layers, compute, storage, virtualisation, and cloud services.
* Running performance, failover, resilience, capacity, and security tests that actually mean something.
* Ensuring CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and environments are built, configured, and behaving correctly.
* Using observability tools (Splunk, Prometheus, CloudWatch, etc.) to track down issues before they become incidents.
* Producing concise technical documentation – test plans, validation reports, defect logs – nothing fluffy.
* Driving infrastructure testing automation using scripting and pipeline integration.
What You'll Bring
* Solid experience testing infrastructure across Windows/Linux, virtualised platforms, and cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP).
* Strong understanding of networking fundamentals, load balancing, firewalls, DNS, certificates, and IAM.
* Hands‑on experience with CI/CD tooling such as Azure DevOps, GitLab, or Jenkins.
* Comfort working with logs, metrics, traces, and diagnostic tooling.
* Scripting skills in PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
Desirable:
* Knowledge of Terraform, Bicep/ARM, Ansible, or container platforms (Docker/Kubernetes).
* Experience with performance test tooling or chaos/failover frameworks.
* Relevant certifications (cloud, networking, ISTQB).
Who You Are
You're analytical, unflappable, and a natural problem‑solver. You communicate clearly, push for good engineering practice, and you don't panic when the monitoring dashboard turns red – you get curious. If you want to work in an environment where infrastructure actually gets the attention it deserves, we'd love to hear from you.
