If you're genuinely interested in how systems and cloud platforms work and you're keen to learn, we'll help you build the rest., * Foundational Interest: A degree in Computer Science or a related field, or a qualification such as an apprenticeship or entry-level certifications (CompTIA A+/Network+, Azure Fundamentals) - though we know these open doors more than they prove ability, so equivalent self-directed learning counts too. * Systems Curiosity: Some exposure to Linux and/or Windows environments - through coursework, personal projects, or self-directed learning - with a genuine interest in building deeper command-line and systems fluency. We'll support you to develop this on the job. * Web Hosting Awareness: An interest in how hosting works - things like DNS, SSL, and web servers (e.g., Apache/Nginx) - even if you've only encountered these in passing so far. * Cloud Curiosity: Some exposure to, or a keen interest in, Azure and other cloud platforms (i.e. AWS). We'll get you certified - you just need to want to go there. Communication: Patience, empathy, and clarity when explaining technical issues to non-technical colleagues and clients. * Problem-Solving Mindset: A logical approach to unfamiliar problems, a willingness to research and ask questions, and the resilience to sit with something tricky until it clicks. * Proactive Attitude: You're organised, take ownership of your work, and go looking for the next thing to learn rather than waiting to be told. Nice-to-haves (not must-haves): * Experience managing websites from an admin or user perspective. * Curiosity about how automation or AI-assisted tooling is changing infrastructure and operations work. * Leadership or community involvement - whether that's a society lead or fronting a band! ## Description * We break new ground. You'll work on innovative projects using the latest technologies before they hit the mainstream. We celebrate calculated risks and learn fast from every experiment. * We get stuck in together. Genuine collaboration across all departments. Your ideas matter here, regardless of your role or how long you've been with us. * We stay curious. Continuous learning is essential. You'll have dedicated time and budget for development, working alongside industry experts who are genuinely invested in your success. * We own it. Full accountability and autonomy over your work means you'll build client relationships, see real-world impact, and be recognised when you go the extra mile. You'll join our Hosting & Infrastructure function, a vital part of CTI that works across our Nublue hosting platforms and CTI's internal systems. We support a mix of cloud-native environments, managed infrastructure, and continuous improvement projects, working closely with client support and delivery teams across the business. This is a newly shaped entry-level role, created to give you genuine breadth across both platform engineering and technical support, rather than boxing you into one narrow lane early on. You'll get hands-on exposure to live client environments from day one, structured support to gain Azure certifications, and a clear development path toward automation and the next generation of intelligent operations tooling as our team adopts more of it. As a Graduate Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer, you'll split your time between supporting live client platforms and building your infrastructure engineering skills, growing into a well-rounded generalist who can flex as our tooling and the market evolves. You'll be expected to get stuck in, ask questions, and build confidence fast. Your key responsibilities will include: * Service & Incident Response: Supporting clients via live chat, email and phone, triaging technical incidents and escalations, and working with senior engineers to keep downtime to a minimum. * Platform Maintenance: Assisting with day-to-day management of client cloud infrastructure, with a primary focus on Azure, alongside broader web hosting environments including Windows and/or Linux servers and Plesk. * Troubleshooting & Site Support: Investigating hosting and CMS issues (platforms like Umbraco and Magento), site compromise reports, and general platform stability concerns. * Infrastructure Support: Supporting platform security, backup processes, and access controls across client and internal systems. * Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Creating and maintaining clear platform documentation, runbooks, and handover notes. * Growing Into Automation: As you build your foundations, you'll get exposure to the automation and monitoring tooling our team uses to run infrastructure more intelligently - with the opportunity to specialise further into this as the team's use of it grows. * Collaboration: Working with senior engineers on continuous improvement tasks and translating technical problems into clear, non-technical language for clients. * Availability: Participating in an out-of-hours 24/7 rota (on call) once fully onboarded, to provide consistent coverage and quick resolution for critical issues., What we'd love to see ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Post-Quantum Cryptography: Preparing for Q-Day](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100179-post-quantum-cryptography-preparing-for-q-day) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe)
