• Install, maintain and troubleshoot hardware in Entersekt datacentres and shared facilities.
• Support the operation and hardware maintenance of PCI‑regulated infrastructure within shared datacentre environments.
• Operate and support network resilience and availability services, including response to large‑scale traffic or availability incidents.
• Assist internal security teams with vulnerability scanning, penetration testing and other security and compliance‑related activities.
• Improve configuration management, package building and deployment mechanisms.
• Handle change requests, deployments and routine operational tasks across the business.
• Participate in change management planning, implementation and post‑change reviews, in line with internal controls and operational procedures.

Skills and Experience

Successful candidates for this role will generally possess the following qualifications and skills:

• 6+ years of experience in a Systems Administrator, Infrastructure Engineer or Network Administrator role.
• Strong network management skills, including maintaining, developing and troubleshooting complex network architectures.
• Hands‑on experience with BGP and OSPF routing, GRE tunnels, IPSec and WireGuard VPNs, and FreeBSD‑based open-source firewall platforms.
• Strong troubleshooting capability, including packet capture analysis using tools such as Wireshark or termshark.
• Solid experience working in on‑prem or hybrid datacentre environments.
• Technical environment and domain experience (strongly preferred):
  • FreeBSD as a primary operating system.
  • MariaDB as a database engine, including experience with Galera clusters.
  • Extensive use of ZFS and FreeBSD jails.
  • Experience with network security scanning and related tooling.
  • Familiarity with Tomcat and Java servlet environments.
  • Fundamental understanding of security concepts, with a strong interest in secure system design.
  • Practical understanding of cryptography concepts, including correct and incorrect usage.

Personality Attributes

• Calm and decisive problem solver who handles urgent issues with composure.
• Curious and growth oriented, with a willingness to learn and share knowledge.
