• Demonstrated experience working in a highly collaborative fast-paced team
• Excellent communication skills - written, verbal and interpersonal
• Experience providing expert support, analysis and research into  
exceptionally complex business and technology problems
• The ability to think critically in a high-paced environment; a sense of  
urgency is essential
• Passion for technology, learning and staying on the cutting edge

Technical Skill set:

• Significant understanding of and ability to build/run a cutting-edge  
Linux server fleet across multiple geographical regions
• Exposure to cloud/virtualisation/containerisation technologies and  
platforms (eg. AWS, Azure, KVM, Vmware, Docker)
• Ability to integrate, develop and lead the CICD and DevOps practices in  
the infrastructure space
• A solid understanding of networking principles, protocols and  
technologies is essential
• Experience using modern orchestration technologies (eg. Puppet/Chef,  
Salt, etc)
• Strong focus on automation
• Expert scripting capabilities (ideally Python, Ruby), experience using  
GIT/SVN
• Assisting with analysis, evaluation and preparation of recommendations  
for system improvements, optimisation, development, and/or maintenance  
efforts
• Exposure to Windows operating systems
• Ability to work in a low-latency infrastructure environment

In return for your passion and expertise, you will be involved in many  
interesting and challenging projects. You will be given the opportunity to  
influence the decisions being made regarding our platforms while taking  
ownership and being accountable for business critical projects.

If you believe you have what it takes and you know you’ll be able to truly  
add value to an already awesome team, we want to speak with you!
