I'm recruiting for a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join a leading UK defence company working on a major submarine project.
The programme is undertaking a significant on-premise to cloud migration, and we're looking for an experienced infrastructure specialist who can take ownership across the design, build and deployment of cloud infrastructure.
What you'll bring
We're looking for strong hands-on experience across:
Cloud infrastructure design, build and deployment
Enterprise VMware / vSphere / ESXi / vCenter
NSX / NSX-T
On-premise to cloud migration
Hybrid cloud infrastructure
Infrastructure architecture and implementation
Cloud platform integration and transformation
vSAN, HCX and/or VMware Aria would be advantageousWhy this role?
This isn't a standard BAU infrastructure position. You'll be working on a high-profile defence programme, helping deliver a complex infrastructure transformation supporting a strategically important submarine capability.
If you're a senior infrastructure engineer who enjoys designing and building complex environments, rather than simply maintaining them, this could be a great opportunity
