About the Role

As a Senior Systems Engineer at Brightly, you'll play a pivotal part in designing, deploying, managing, and supporting secure, cutting-edge technology solutions for our diverse customer base. While most clients are cloud-based, some maintain hybrid setups with on-premise infrastructure.

• maintaining on-prem and hybrid environments
• designing and implementing Cloud solutions
• providing Level 3 support for IT networks, system infrastructure, and associated applications and services
• leading critical technical implementations, such as Cloud migrations
• managing Azure and AWS infrastructure and optimising Microsoft 365 environments

In this essential role within our growing company, you'll play a key part in enhancing our cloud infrastructure and security practices. As the technical lead on multiple projects, you'll adeptly manage and run parallel streams of work, ensuring smooth and efficient delivery.

• AWS experience is a bonus
• Experience with ISO standards is nice to have, but not essential
