## About the Role

Strong infrastructure fundamentals, an appreciation of secure environments and an interest in developing your automation skills are more important than having every tool on your CV.

## Description

Some of the most valuable engineers working high-side are those who really understand the infrastructure underneath it all.

I'm supporting a growing National Security SME in Cheltenham looking for Infrastructure and Systems Engineers who enjoy getting hands-on with complex environments, solving problems and improving how technology is delivered.

This isn't simply a BAU support role. There's scope to get involved in infrastructure design, deployment, automation and the evolution of secure platforms.

The technical focus

 * Linux & Windows: Enterprise server administration, configuration and troubleshooting
 * Virtualisation: VMware, ESXi, vCenter and associated infrastructure
 * Networking: TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls and secure connectivity
 * Infrastructure: Storage, resilience, backup, disaster recovery and high availability
 * Automation: Ansible, Terraform, scripting and Infrastructure as Code
 * Modern platforms: Exposure to Docker, Kubernetes or hybrid cloud environments
