You will help operate and develop cloud and virtualised infrastructure, implement monitoring, logging and alerting, support containerised applications, and contribute to business continuity, backup, restoration and recovery testing. You will also troubleshoot complex technical problems and work with colleagues on architecture, deployment and improvements to existing services, with particular attention to security and reliability.
