Leading major IT projects for a successful Cambridge technology company
This role would suit a senior IT systems engineer keen to lead major projects, exploring the latest technologies from first principles and building systems from the ground up. Experience is particularly sought in storage clusters and on-premises extensions to cloud services.
As a senior member of the existing IT team, for a well-established Cambridge technology company, you’ll make a significant contribution and have a lot of input into projects’ development. Far from a sideline, significant IT systems are core to their operation.
You will have interest and experience in greenfield projects: discussing requirements, technology investigation, purchasing hardware and software, setup, troubleshooting, monitoring and maintenance. You’ll also be able to pick up existing projects, and get to grips with potentially new technical detail.
You will also have:

  • Good knowledge of Windows Server, Linux server, VM / VPS, Microsoft 365 and Active Directory (Entra ID) administration.
  • Specific knowledge of database clusters (Oracle, SQL Server, etc.), storage clusters (cloud or on-premises), or on-premises extensions to cloud services for compute/storage/databases.
  • Ideally, Azure Local experience, with equivalent and related technologies considered (Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, etc.)
  • Strong Linux shell scripting and PowerShell for complex use cases.
  • Good fundamentals around IP networking.
    It’s likely you will be local to the Cambridge area. Flexible hours, and hybrid working up to 60%, are standard. There is an on-call element, one week in four for rare emergencies only, compensated for with extra holiday annually.
