This position requires a strong foundation in Linux administration, proficiency in scripting languages such as Python and Bash, expertise in automation tools like Ansible, and experience with operating platforms at scale using cluster management systems like Kubernetes or Slurm. Additionally, you will be actively involved in troubleshooting networking issues, and deploying infrastructure as code using CI/CD pipelines.

Platform Operations at Scale:

  • Experience in operating platforms at scale, utilising cluster management systems such as Kubernetes or Slurm to manage high-performance computing workloads efficiently.

Networking Skills:

  • Strong networking skills including troubleshooting network issues, understanding network topology, protocols, and ensuring efficient traffic flow from source to destination.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

  • Proficiency in implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, deploying and managing infrastructure using version-controlled repositories (e.g., Git) and CI/CD pipelines.

Operations Focus:

  • More emphasis on operational tasks than development, ensuring the reliability, scalability, and security of our cloud platform.


Qualifications and Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Proven experience in a similar role, preferably within a cloud computing or HPC environment.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
  • Capacity to adapt to a fast-paced, dynamic work environment and prioritise tasks effectively.
  • Certifications such as Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Slurm Administrator (CSA) would be advantageous.
