Automation Engineer

Location: Hybrid/Glasgow (3 days onsite)
Contract: 6 months - Inside IR35

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Automation Engineer with a strong focus on on-premise environments. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in traditional infrastructure settings and enjoys working closely with Linux systems, backup tools, and automation Scripting. Cloud-centric profiles are less suitable, as this role emphasizes on-prem work rather than pipelines or cloud automation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain automation scripts in Python, including API-based integrations.

• Manage and optimize RHEL Linux environments with an emphasis on on-premise operations.

• Collaborate with infrastructure and backup teams to streamline operations and improve efficiency.

• Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of automation issues.

• Ensure reliability and performance of automation tools and processes.

Skills & Experience Required

• Strong hands-on RHEL Linux (on-prem) experience.

• Proficiency in Python Scripting for automation (API-based work preferred).

• Experience with NetBackup (preferred, not essential).

• Background in infrastructure automation without reliance on CI/CD pipelines.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
