We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to take a leading role in the design, implementation, and support of secure, high-performance platforms across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments. Acting as a technical authority in one or more key domains, you'll help shape the delivery of critical infrastructure solutions that underpin complex, mission-focused systems.

• Act as the technical authority for one or more platform engineering domains (cloud, virtualisation, automation, networking, or cyber tooling).

• Design and implement secure platforms across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments.

• Capture and interpret complex customer requirements to drive architecture and system design.

• Produce high- and low-level designs, aligned with secure-by-design and engineering best practices.

• Lead technical delivery within work packages, including planning, estimation, and progress reporting.

• Mentor and develop engineers, building technical capability and fostering a culture of excellence.

• Contribute to technology strategy, feasibility studies, and innovation initiatives.

• Engage confidently with stakeholders, presenting technical solutions and influencing decisions.

• Proven technical expertise across multiple infrastructure domains, with a track record of delivering secure solutions.

• Strong balance between hands-on engineering and technical leadership.

• A problem-solving mindset and the ability to innovate under pressure.

• Experience with:

  • Windows and Linux operating systems

  • Virtualisation platforms (VMware, Hyper-V) and containerisation (Kubernetes, Docker)

  • Networking (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, firewalls)

  • Automation and scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ansible, Terraform)

  • Cyber security controls and accreditation processes

  • Systems engineering lifecycle from design to deployment

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform)

• Integration of enterprise services such as Active Directory, PKI, SIEM, and monitoring tools

• Hands-on with DevSecOps tools and CI/CD pipelines

• Relevant industry certifications (VMware VCP, AWS Solutions Architect, Microsoft, Kubernetes, etc.)

• Experience presenting at technical boards or industry forums
