Alpha Credit is a major financial organisation operating an Agile APS domain where an iOps team provides platform and environment stability for the Risk & Support tribe. This Infra Engineer role focuses on Linux and Windows server operations, automation with Ansible, and scripting in Python and PowerShell to support releases, cloud migration activities and the production and non-production environments for business-critical applications.
The mission
You will join a cross-functional iOps team embedded in the APS domain to ensure the availability and reliability of services used by the Risk & Support tribe.
