  • Supporting compute, storage, backup, archive and converged environments
  • Improving infrastructure security, recovery processes and automation
  • Managing incidents, problems and changes within the Cleanroom
  • Ensuring systems meet required security standards
  • Working with a small, international team of infrastructure and security specialists
What We’re Looking For You’ll need to be a versatile, experienced T-shaped DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer who is comfortable working across multiple technologies and operating autonomously.
Essential:
  • Strong experience with VMware Aria Automation
  • Expert-level JavaScript skills
Desirable:
  • Experience with Terraform
  • Familiarity with Ansible
  • Background in infrastructure automation, security, recovery or resilience
  • Experience working with large-scale infrastructure environments
Why This Role? You’ll be working on a highly important infrastructure project supporting the recovery of systems across Europe and the Americas, including approximately 21,000 virtual machines and nearly 20PB of data.
It’s an opportunity to work with cutting-edge security, automation and recovery technologies while helping build a practical, scalable solution that protects critical banking services.
