Cambridge;-c-50,000 DoE + Benefits

This automation company has raised significant money and shown working demonstrations of their world-leading technology and are now preparing to build their first factory. As part of this process, they require a team of IT professionals to design and build out their network infrastructure as well as their on-prem servers for this initial installation and further expansions. You will be working within this team and alongside software and DevOps engineers.

You will be involved in all aspects of the build-out, from physical rack-level layout through switches, servers and storage fabrics to hypervisors and containerised workloads. Everything a modern factory IT system needs. You will also be working closely with the DevOps team to provide CI/CD hardware and support for internal software projects.

Requirements:

• Practical experience deploying physical on-prem IT infrastructure coupled with infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform and Python
• Good security awareness such as hardening checklists, PKI/certificate use, and DevOpsSec
• Knowledge of the fundamentals of networking and virtualisation (e.g. DHCP, VLANs, Proxmox, Docker, etc)
• Good communication skills for working with others in the IT team as well as software and hardware engineers from other parts of the business

You will be working out of modern and picturesque offices on the outskirts of Cambridge. Due to the nature of the work, you will need to be able to attend the office full time, so hybrid working is not available. Otherwise, benefits are good with a strong pension scheme and good medical insurance.
