Would you like to move a research organisation's infrastructure into the cloud, and own how it is done?
This role sits with an international scientific and technology centre on the Italian coast at La Spezia. The work is a genuine migration: assessing what runs on premises today, deciding what belongs in the cloud, then planning, building and running it.

- Managing the on premises infrastructure and the cloud environment in line with the organisation's security guidelines
- Leading and developing best practice for the cloud and systems engineering team
- Supervising standard system administration on premises and in the cloud: server installation, system and application installation, patch management, Windows and Linux problem determination and resolution, log analysis
- Orchestrating and automating on premises and cloud based platforms across the organisation
- Defining project plans and backlogs, monitoring execution and reporting
- Running the team day to day on Agile principles, including daily standups
What you will need
- A bachelor's degree in computer science or engineering
- Four to eight years in a cloud engineer role or a closely related position

- Active Directory Domain Services and Active Directory Federation Services, PKI, OU structures and group policies, DNS, DHCP
- VMware ESX and VCF
- Linux and UNIX, Docker and Microsoft Azure
- Working knowledge of web services, API, REST and RPC
- A strong grasp of networking and internet protocols including TCP/IP, DNS, SMTP, HTTP and distributed networks
