Hosting Specialist - Hybrid Cloud
6-Month Contract | Strong Opportunity for extension
We're looking for an experienced Hosting Specialist to join a large, complex technology environment and support the reliability, security and ongoing improvement of its hybrid cloud infrastructure.
This is a hands-on role spanning Azure and on-premises platforms, suited to someone comfortable working across compute, virtualisation, storage, operating systems and automation. You'll help maintain stable day-to-day operations while contributing to platform improvements, security uplift and greater automation.
What you'll be doing
- Supporting and maintaining hybrid infrastructure across Microsoft Azure and on-premises environments
- Managing VMware virtualisation platforms, including NSX networking
- Administering enterprise compute and storage infrastructure
- Supporting Windows and Linux server environments, ideally including Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Monitoring platform availability, capacity, performance and security
- Troubleshooting complex infrastructure issues across multiple technology layers
- Automating operational tasks using PowerShell, Python and/or Bash
- Supporting patching, vulnerability remediation and infrastructure lifecycle activities
- Contributing to technical documentation, operational standards and continuous improvement
- Working closely with cloud, network, security and application teams
What we're looking for
- Strong experience supporting enterprise hosting or infrastructure environments
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure and hybrid cloud platforms
- Strong VMware experience, with exposure to NSX highly regarded
- Knowledge of enterprise storage and compute technologies
- Administration experience across both Windows and Linux, with RHEL preferred
- Scripting or automation skills using PowerShell, Python or Bash
- A security-first mindset, with an understanding of patching, hardening, vulnerability management and access controls
- Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to work across complex technical environments
- Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach
Why consider this opportunity?
You'll join a technically varied environment where you can work across both cloud and traditional infrastructure rather than being restricted to a single platform. The role offers a strong mix of operational ownership, engineering, automation and security-focused improvement.
This is an initial six-month contract with the potential of extension
If you're a well-rounded infrastructure specialist who enjoys working across hybrid cloud platforms and improving the way environments are operated, we'd like to hear from you.
