We're looking for a talented System Administrator to join a growing software house to play a key role in maintaining, configuring, and optimising infrastructure - across AWS cloud services, CDN performance, and internal systems.

This is a hands on role where you'll work closely with other tech teams to ensure systems are fast, secure, and reliable. You'll take ownership of automation, performance tuning, and troubleshooting - helping to build a world class environment that supports customer success.

You're a detail oriented problem solver with a strong technical foundation and a passion for optimisation. You thrive in a fast moving environment where your ideas make a tangible impact. You're comfortable working across both cloud and on premise systems, and you love finding smarter, faster ways to get things done.

You'll bring:

• A degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field.
• 2+ years' experience in systems administration with a strong AWS focus.
• Expertise in AWS services like EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, and IAM.
• Solid understanding of networking protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP).
• Experience with CDN technologies (Cloudflare, Akamai, or Fastly).
• Strong troubleshooting skills and a proactive, solutions first mindset.
• Clear communication and solid documentation habits.

If you're the kind of person who takes ownership, stays curious, and never stops improving things - this is a great role for you!
