- Owning day‑to‑day platform operations (patching, upgrades, live migrations, etc.)
- Acting as an escalation point for complex infrastructure and platform issues
- Collaborating with engineering teams to improve automation and operational processes
- Participating in an on‑call rota and supporting key out‑of‑hours work
What They’re Looking For

- Solid experience with VMware (vSphere / ESXi / vCenter)
- Experience delivering or supporting virtualisation migrations or transformations
