Automation Engineer
Location: Hybrid/Glasgow (3 days onsite)
Contract: 6 months - Inside IR35
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Automation Engineer with a strong focus on on-premise environments. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in traditional infrastructure settings and enjoys working closely with Linux systems, backup tools, and automation Scripting. Cloud-centric profiles are less suitable, as this role emphasizes on-prem work rather than pipelines or cloud automation.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and maintain automation scripts in Python, including API-based integrations.
* Manage and optimize RHEL Linux environments with an emphasis on on-premise operations.
* Collaborate with infrastructure and backup teams to streamline operations and improve efficiency.
* Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of automation issues.
* Ensure reliability and performance of automation tools and processes.
Skills & Experience Required
* Strong hands-on RHEL Linux (on-prem) experience.
* Proficiency in Python Scripting for automation (API-based work preferred).
* Experience with NetBackup (preferred, not essential).
* Background in infrastructure automation without reliance on CI/CD pipelines.
* Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
