Essential:
- Strong Linux experience and confidence working in the command line
- Experience troubleshooting using Unix tools and log files
- Familiarity with Docker or containerised environments
- Basic Bash scripting skills
- Strong communication and problem-solving abilities
- Exposure to Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog or New Relic
- Experience with AWS, Azure or GCP
- Knowledge of YAML, Python or JavaScript

- £50,000 salary
- Hybrid working with just one day in the office every two weeks
