Salary: £40,000 – £50,000
Benefits: Private healthcare & dental, 27 days holiday + more
Location: Whitechapel, London – 3 days a week in the office
The Opportunity:
This is a great opportunity for a Systems Administrator / Infrastructure Engineer who wants to own an internal IT environment while broadening their experience across cloud, automation and DevOps.
You’ll be joining a global SaaS business, supporting around 60 users across the UK and international offices.
The business has recently delisted from the stock market and is going through a period of transformation. Technology, automation and AI will play a big part in that, particularly around removing repetitive operational work and freeing people up to focus on more valuable technical projects.
You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day SysAdmin environment, but the role doesn’t stop there.
As the operational side becomes increasingly automated, you’ll work alongside other technical teams, support developers and get involved with cloud infrastructure, automation and DevOps-style responsibilities.
It’s a small environment with plenty of autonomy, but you’ll also work closely with one of the co-founders, who has a strong technical background and can expose you to areas you may not have worked with commercially before.
Day to day
You’ll own the internal Microsoft environment across Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive and Active Directory.
You’ll manage users and devices, starters and leavers, laptops and general hardware/software troubleshooting, while ensuring the environment remains secure and reliable.
Beyond the traditional SysAdmin work, you’ll get involved with more complex requirements across the business. That could mean helping developers spin up infrastructure, working with cloud environments, automating processes or helping other technical teams turn their requirements into practical solutions.
There’s exposure to AWS and wider SaaS platforms, with the opportunity to move closer to the development and DevOps side as the role evolves.
This isn’t a pure DevOps role, but equally it isn’t a traditional support position where you’ll spend your time working through tickets.
Who we are looking for
You’ll already have a good grounding in Systems Administration or Infrastructure and be comfortable taking ownership without needing every step mapped out for you.
You could currently be a Systems Administrator, Infrastructure Engineer, Cloud Support Engineer or a strong 2nd/3rd Line Engineer who has moved beyond straightforward end-user support.
You’ll need experience across Microsoft 365, Active Directory and Windows, alongside a good understanding of infrastructure and networking fundamentals such as IP, DNS and firewalls.
Exposure to Azure or AWS, PowerShell, scripting, automation, APIs, Git or DevOps tooling would be particularly interesting.
You don’t need to be an established DevOps Engineer. What matters is having the technical grounding and curiosity to understand unfamiliar concepts quickly, work through problems and figure things out.
That could come through a Computer Science / IT degree, certifications, self-study or simply pushing yourself technically throughout your career.
You’ll also be working with people across the business, so you need to communicate well, understand what someone is trying to achieve and translate that into a technical solution.
The Next Steps
If you’re comfortable in a SysAdmin / Infrastructure environment but want to develop beyond traditional SysAdmin into cloud, automation and DevOps-style work, this could be a really good move.
