  • Develop product knowledge in cutting-edge air-gapped cloud technology to support users with how-to questions.
  • Support internal reviews to identify and enable opportunities for continuous improvement and reducing toil.
  • Follow documented runbooks and procedures for high-priority incident management for potential UK critical workloads.

The following skills and experience are essential for this role:

  • Experience in working with computer systems and computer networks, specifically with the Linux operating system.
