Are you a highly capable Infrastructure Engineer ready to step into a Team Lead role, or already leading infrastructure projects and looking for more autonomy? This is a fantastic opportunity to take technical ownership of a modern infrastructure estate spanning on-prem and cloud systems, while guiding a small internal team and reporting directly to senior leadership.
