Purpose of the role
The Lead Infrastructure Systems Engineer is a pivotal role within the IT department, responsible for overseeing the implementation, maintenance, and optimisation of the organisation's infrastructure and backend systems. This role requires a combination of technical expertise, organisation and leadership skills to ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of the infrastructure environment. The Lead Infrastructure Systems Engineer works closely with cross-functional teams to implement infrastructure solutions aligned with business objectives and industry best practices.
With Harrier operating as a 24x7 business, this role is also an escalation point for operational priorities relating to infrastructure, from the regular on call (out of hours) team, and as such some out of hours working is to be expected.
