Job description

Infrastructure Automation Engineer| Inside IR35 | Hybrid (3 days onsite in Hertfordshire) | Initial 3 months | Likely extension

We're supporting a major enterprise technology services provider on a critical infrastructure resilience programme for one of the UK's most complex and recognisable enterprise environments. This is an opportunity for a hands-on Infrastructure Automation Engineer to join a fast-paced programme focused on improving large-scale recovery capability through automation, orchestration, and platform integration.

If you come from an enterprise infrastructure background but have moved heavily into Scripting, automation, and systems integration, this could be a strong fit.

This programme is focused on modernising recovery capability across a large enterprise infrastructure estate. Rather than relying on manual recovery processes or static documentation, the focus is on building automation-led recovery workflows using live infrastructure data, API integrations, and orchestration tooling. You'll be working across a broad technology landscape, helping to integrate infrastructure platforms, automate operational processes, and improve resilience across a business-critical environment. This is very much a delivery-focused engineering role rather than traditional infrastructure support.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Building infrastructure automation workflows
  • Developing Scripting solutions using Python and/or PowerShell
  • Consuming infrastructure and operational data via APIs
  • Transforming and integrating data between enterprise platforms
  • Supporting recovery orchestration and resilience automation
  • Working across complex multi-vendor infrastructure environments
  • Collaborating with engineering teams and technology partners
  • Troubleshooting automation and integration challenges

What We're Looking For Strong experience in:

  • Enterprise infrastructure engineering
  • Python and/or PowerShell Scripting
  • REST API integration
  • Infrastructure automation/orchestration
  • Complex enterprise technology environments
  • Troubleshooting and systems integration

Experience with technologies such as:

  • VMware
  • Microsoft infrastructure
  • Cisco
  • HPE
  • Ansible
  • Terraform
  • Enterprise orchestration tooling

Nice to Have Experience in:

  • Operational resilience
  • Disaster recovery
  • Recovery automation
  • Platform engineering
  • Enterprise infrastructure transformation
