We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to help design, automate, and support the secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure that underpins everything we do - from flexible learning environments to cutting-edge research.

* Support and optimise live, development, and test environments, ensuring high availability, security, and performance.
* Resolve complex issues and provide third-line support, collaborating with colleagues and external partners to maintain and improve services.
* Champion best practice, contributing to continuous improvement, compliance (GDPR, Cyber Essentials), and modern service management standards.
* Take part in our out-of-hours support rota for critical services and be on site 3 days a week due to business needs; flexible to work from home but on-site presence is expected as required.
Qualifications
* Solid experience with Azure, Nutanix, Linux, and Rubrik in complex infrastructure environments.
* A strong grasp of IT operations, software development lifecycles, and service management.
* Excellent communication skills and a customer-focused mindset, able to translate technical solutions into real-world impact.
