A leading commodities trading firm are searching for an experienced Windows/Infrastructure Engineer to join their team. As Principal Platform Operations Engineer you will sit as the manager’s number two and as a result will 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 with focus on Windows Server and VMware and as a result you will be expected to have strong experience across both. The team are currently working on a number of projects that you will get a chance to work on. This includes the following:

Data Centre move planning, investigation, and execution (Will be heavily involved in this) Moving DR management in-house Migrating more of their estate to Azure Increasing Linux estate 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. They have built out some Kubernetes clusters on premises, but none are in production. This role offers a great opportunity for someone upskill in Kubernetes and Linux as neither are a pre-requisite 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/friendly environment and the internal career progression available. As an 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 lead to my client having 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 Bonus: Kubernetes, Brokade, Linux, Docker, Citrix, Networking (Paolo Alto, Cisco) Background: Windows/Infra/Server Engineer with 10+ years xp. Platform/Devops Engineer would be great but need to be happy doing work like going to datacentres to replace hardware.

Benefits: Generous Bonus, Well compensated on-call work, 10% Pension, Private Dental, Private Medical, Discounted Utility Bills
