• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across the technology estate

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven DevOps, Infrastructure, or Production Engineering experience
• Strong hands-on experience supporting on-premise infrastructure
• Python scripting experience
• Shell/Bash scripting experience
• Good understanding of networking fundamentals
• Exposure to database technologies
• Experience working within complex enterprise environments
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

Desirable Experience

• Financial Services experience
