Are you looking to start your career in infrastructure engineering, learning to administer Linux servers and getting hands‑on with hardening, uplift and security configuration? Do you like the idea of working in a small team, helping look after the infrastructure that keeps numerous customers secure and resilient? Are you keen to learn how automation and infrastructure stacks are built and taken to a new benchmark? This role might be for you.

We're looking for people who think outside the box and are keen to join our Infrastructure team, supporting our security services across all manner of customers, from Government to small, medium and large private industry. You won't be expected to know it all on day one. You'll be expected to be curious, sharp and keen to learn, and we'll teach you the rest.

What you'll be doing

You'll be joining a small, skilled team whose focus is maintaining the back end infrastructure that underpins our security services. Working alongside experienced engineers who'll mentor you, you'll get more hands‑on across automation stacks and Git workflows as you grow into the role. Key areas of the role are:

Helping administer and maintain a fleet of Linux servers.

Learning to contribute to the uplift and security of the baseline SOE image in line with the ASD ISM.

Picking up new and novel ways to manage and secure infrastructure.

Working in a small, focused team.

Supporting other technical teams on infrastructure issues as you develop.

What we're looking for

Required

An outside the box attitude to problem solving and securing our customer environments.





1 year of experience in an IT role (or equivalent study).

Some hands‑on exposure to Linux administration, whether through work, study or a home lab.

Basic scripting or command line comfort, for example Bash or Python.

Understanding of basic networking concepts.

A willingness to learn and adapt to new and emerging ways of operating.

Security clearance, but we may be able to support no clearance requirement depending on the applicant (sponsorship is mandatory).

Nice to have

Exposure to automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform or Packer.

Familiarity with Git workflows.

Exposure to observability stacks such as Grafana, Elastic or Prometheus.

Awareness of container stacks such as Kubernetes and Docker.

Cloud experience with AWS, Azure or GCP, including personal projects.

Relevant certifications, for example Linux+ or AWS/Azure fundamentals.

Baseline clearance or above.

What do we offer?

Working from home? You bet. We don't mind where you work, we have a hybrid work culture that supports the way you want to work.

Fair pay? No doubt. We're sure you're worth it.

Training? Obviously. We want our people to be the best, and to keep it that way we need to invest, simple.
