Job Description:
A leading commodities trading firm is searching for an experienced Windows/Infrastructure Engineer to join their team. As Principal, you will sit as the manager’s number two and be expected to proactively offer suggestions for strategic change and improvements, support the manager with his duties, and have the ability to autonomously deliver major projects. Much of your work will focus on Windows Server and VMware, and you will be expected to have strong experience across both. The team is currently working on a number of projects that you will get a chance to work on, including:
* Data Centre move planning, investigation, and execution (heavily involved in this)
* Moving DR management in-house
* Migrating more of their estate to Azure
* Starting to do a lot of work with Kubernetes and Docker; much more to come
Currently, only 2/3 applications are hosted in AKS containers, so there is still a lot of work to do in this area. They have built out some Kubernetes clusters on premises, but none are in production. This role offers a great opportunity for someone to upskill in Kubernetes and Linux as neither are a prerequisite, yet there will be regular chances to work with both.
Our previous placements with this client have spoken very positively about the company culture, highlighting the collaborative and friendly environment and the internal career progression available. For example, after spending 2 to 3 years in one application support team, we have seen hires progress internally to become a DevOps Engineer, Trader, BA, Data Automation Lead, Data Support Manager, Derivatives Analyst, and Developer, demonstrating the variety of routes on offer. The combination of these factors has led my client to have some of the best retention rates on the market.
Requirements:
* Windows Server
* VMware
* Strong scripting and automation (any language; more the mindset they are after)
* Demonstrated experience managing/driving major projects independently
* Good seniority for a principal – Autonomy to deliver projects, come with own ideas/suggestions, lead exposure is useful
* Cloud experience, significant preference for Azure
* Active Directory
* Strong storage experience, preferably Pure
* Any industry
* Background: Windows/Infra/Server Engineer with 10+ years experience. Platform/DevOps Engineer would be great but need to be happy doing work like going to data centers to replace hardware.
Benefits: Generous Bonus, Well compensated on-call work, 10% Pension, Private Dental, Private Medical, Discounted Utility Bills, Free Daily Breakfast, Free Weekly Lunch
