## About the Role

* Strong Linux infrastructure and troubleshooting skills
 * Docker and containerised environments
 * Kubernetes
 * Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
 * Monitoring, logging and troubleshooting production systems
 * Cloud platforms - ideally GCP or AWS
 * CI/CD and deployment tooling

Previous GCP experience would obviously be useful, but it isn't essential. They're very open to someone coming from a strong AWS background who understands cloud infrastructure and has solid experience with Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform.

## Description

A well-established tech company in Stockport is looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to join their team. They've recently completed a large-scale migration from their traditional data centre into Google Cloud Platform and are now looking for someone to help them improve, maintain and develop their cloud infrastructure.

You'll be joining a small and experienced Platform team, working closely with their Software Engineers to make sure their systems are secure, reliable and performing well. This is a genuinely hands-on role, with a good mixture of modern cloud technologies alongside traditional infrastructure and troubleshooting.

They're not looking for someone to come in and architect an entirely new cloud platform from scratch. The migration to GCP has already happened, so the focus now is on incremental improvements - improving automation, monitoring and reliability, refactoring where necessary and making the platform easier for their development teams to work with.

They work with a modern infrastructure stack including GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, FluxCD and GitHub, alongside a predominantly Linux-based environment., Role : Field Service Engineer - Photocopiers Location: Manchester / North West Are you an experienced Field Service Engineer with a MFD / photocopiers exposure .
