Information Technology System Engineer

IT Systems Engineer

London (Hybrid – 2 days onsite)

Up to £60,000 + benefits

This isn’t a “keep the lights on” role - it’s a chance to step into a hands-on, high-impact engineering position at a business going through major transformation. Following a recent restructure, the team is being rebuilt with a clear focus: strong engineers who can get stuck in and drive change. With significant cloud and infrastructure upgrade projects on the horizon, this is a key hire and a top priority for the business.

What’s in it for you?

• Work on modern, cloud-first infrastructure (Azure-heavy environment)
• Get involved in large-scale migration and upgrade projects
• Real hands-on engineering - not just firefighting tickets
• Cross-training and certifications supported (they actively invest in this)
• A team where performance is recognised more frequently, not just annually

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting and improving cloud and on-prem infrastructure
• Acting as a 3rd Line escalation point for complex issues
• Managing core services like Microsoft 365, Azure, VMware, and Linux servers
• Monitoring and maintaining systems (DHCP, network monitoring tools, backups, etc.)
• Investigating incidents end-to-end and identifying root causes
• Contributing to projects, migrations, and system improvements
• Working closely with internal teams to deliver reliable, scalable infrastructure

What they’re looking for

• ~5+ years in IT Infrastructure/Systems Engineering roles
• Strong experience across:
• Azure / Microsoft 365
• Windows Server + Linux
• VMware
• General networking (DHCP, monitoring, etc.)
• Relevant Azure/Microsoft certifications (or working towards them)
• A hands-on, proactive mindset - someone who enjoys being a “doer”

Nice to have

• Data centre experience
• Exposure to tools like Veeam, SolarWinds, Zabbix, SIEM/XDR platforms

Culture & environment

This is a team that values:

• Engineers who take ownership and solve problems
• People who are happy working across a broad tech stack (true generalists)
• Continuous improvement - both technically and personally

Additional info

• Standard hours: 9:00–17:30 (with occasional out-of-hours work – time off in lieu)
• Potential for on-call in the future
• Benefits include private healthcare, pension, and more
