• Monitor and maintain infrastructure across Linux, Azure environments, and PostgreSQL databases.
• Troubleshoot networking and connectivity issues; support VPNs, DNS, and basic firewall configurations.
• Collaborate remotely with global teams, particularly across the UK and Asia Pacific, to ensure consistent incident management and knowledge sharing.
• Contribute to internal documentation, runbooks, and support best practices.

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in an IT support, systems administration, or technical operations role.
• Strong proficiency with Linux server environments.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure, including infrastructure configuration and monitoring.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals and infrastructure support.
• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases.
• Self-starter with the ability to manage responsibilities independently and coordinate across time zones.
• Strong communication skills and experience working in remote or distributed teams.

Nice to Have Experience

• Exposure to cybersecurity practices such as system hardening, access control, or vulnerability remediation.
• Familiarity with DevOps practices or tools (e.g., CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience supporting applications written in Golang, PHP, C, Angular, or other backend/front-end stacks.
• Experience working with monitoring and logging platforms to proactively identify and resolve issues.

What We Offer

• A fully remote position within a close-knit, growing UK-based team.
• A critical support role with impact across multiple client platforms and services.
• Participation in a compensated on-call rotation schedule.
• A collaborative, autonomous working culture that values flexibility and initiative.
