This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with other tech teams to ensure systems are fast, secure, and reliable. You’ll take ownership of automation, performance tuning, and troubleshooting — helping to build a world-class environment that supports customer success.


💡 About You

You’re a detail-oriented problem-solver with a strong technical foundation and a passion for optimisation. You thrive in a fast-moving environment where your ideas make a tangible impact.

You’ll bring:

  • A degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field.
  • 2+ years’ experience in systems administration with a strong AWS focus.
  • Expertise in AWS services like EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, and IAM.
  • Solid understanding of networking protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP).
  • Experience with CDN technologies (Cloudflare, Akamai, or Fastly).
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and a proactive, solutions-first mindset.
  • Clear communication and solid documentation habits.

If you’re the kind of person who takes ownership, stays curious, and never stops improving things — this is a great role for you!
