About GMSL
GMSL have a great opportunity for a Senior IT Systems and Network Engineer to join our team, based in central Cambridge.
We are a small team of 5 engineers working within a larger software and IT department of approximately 43 people, so we still have the feeling of working for a small company.
IT is a core part of GMSL’s business. We work closely with our software teams on our SaaS and B2B messaging solutions as well as supporting the day-to-day networking and systems you’d expect to find in most organisations.
We use a wide range of technologies across both On-Prem and Cloud environments to develop solutions for the business. GMSL’s clients tend to be large companies so you will find we have much more IT than a normal company our size.
