We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to take a leading role in the design, implementation, and support of secure, high-performance platforms across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments. Acting as a technical authority in one or more key domains, you'll help shape the delivery of critical infrastructure solutions that underpin complex, mission-focused systems.
What You'll Do
* Act as the technical authority for one or more platform engineering domains (cloud, virtualisation, automation, networking, or cyber tooling).
* Design and implement secure platforms across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments.
* Capture and interpret complex customer requirements to drive architecture and system design.
* Produce high- and low-level designs, aligned with secure-by-design and engineering best practices.
* Lead technical delivery within work packages, including planning, estimation, and progress reporting.
* Mentor and develop engineers, building technical capability and fostering a culture of excellence.
* Contribute to technology strategy, feasibility studies, and innovation initiatives.
* Engage confidently with stakeholders, presenting technical solutions and influencing decisions.
What You'll Bring
* Proven technical expertise across multiple infrastructure domains, with a track record of delivering secure solutions.
* Strong balance between hands-on engineering and technical leadership.
* A problem-solving mindset and the ability to innovate under pressure.
* Experience with:
o Windows and Linux operating systems
o Virtualisation platforms (VMware, Hyper‑V) and containerisation (Kubernetes, Docker)
o Networking (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, firewalls)
o Automation and scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ansible, Terraform)
o Cyber security controls and accreditation processes
o Systems engineering lifecycle from design to deployment
Desirable Skills
* Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform)
* Integration of enterprise services such as Active Directory, PKI, SIEM, and monitoring tools
* Hands‑on with DevSecOps tools and CI/CD pipelines
* Relevant industry certifications (VMware VCP, AWS Solutions Architect, Microsoft, Kubernetes, etc.)
* Experience presenting at technical boards or industry forums
