Your future duties and responsibilities:

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer with Ansible to join the our existing system team. Candidates should have a track record in Ansible, VMWare and Linux.
A track record in networking, Amazon Web Services, FreeIPA, RedHat OpenShift and PostgreSQL would be desirable but not essential as training can be provided if required.

Core Technical track record in Ansible, VMWare and Linux is key.

We celebrate and reward our colleagues through a variety of methods, and we promote the health and well-being of our members through a range of programs and activities. We are also committed to ensuring a safe work environment through the prevention of harmful workplace incidents including physical harm, harassment and violence.
