An opportunity has arisen for an experienced and professional Linux technical specialist with an interest in taking the first steps into management and in developing and supporting the diverse research equipment in the University’s Science and Engineering faculties.

About us

The Faculty IT Support Team for the Science and Engineering Faculties has 16 members with a broad range of skills and experience and is part of the University’s IT Services division. We support the teaching and research of the two faculties, which includes everything from Windows and mac devices to complex multi-node Linux based computational clusters, via an array of Linux and Windows labs and research systems, running engineering and scientific software.

About the role

The majority of your role will involve dealing with complex CentOS & Ubuntu Linux systems supporting and used in the faculties; however you will also be one of two deputies for the Team Manager, with particular responsibilities for technical management of all the Linux systems across the two faculties and for providing leadership and mentoring to other team members, potentially including line management. The University has an ITIL based change management system and you will need to be continuously engaged with this process, and to manage and implement local projects as part of the IT work request process. You should expect to be an advocate for user needs, whilst being prepared to constructively challenge wants expressed as needs. 

About you

You should be highly motivated and enthusiastic about working in a fast paced and constantly changing environment and be able to work in a highly autonomous fashion. You must be able to demonstrate considerable experience and knowledge in Linux Systems Administration, ideally with prior experience in a research-led university. Suitable applicants must have a degree relevant to IT Services or vocational experience which demonstrates equivalent professional development. ITILv3 Foundation Diploma is desirable. You do not need experience of line management at work, however you should have a desire to move into carrying out these activities and be able to demonstrate leadership experience either within work or outside. Experience of any of the following would be very desirable for the post:

  • Configuration management and version control systems especially Puppet and git
  • Specific CentOS/RHEL and/or Ubuntu experience or qualifications
  • License management, especially FlexLM on redundant clusters
  • Linux integration with windows especially NFS4 authentication via AD
  • HPC/HPT cluster management and queuing, especially Rocks, Bright, Slurm & Torque/Maui
  • Scientific programming, especially Fortran & Python
  • Windows and/or macOS support especially AD
  • ITIL concepts, especially change management

For more information on this role please contact Chris Tothill at chris.tothill@bristol.ac.uk

The closing date for applications is midnight on Wednesday 18th March 2020.

We welcome applications from all members of our community and are particularly encouraging those from diverse groups, such as members of the LGBT+ and BAME communities, to join us.

Are you passionate about repeatable scalable infrastructure, observability, optimization, and continuous deployment? Are you an expert in Google Cloud, AWS or Azure, Terraform, Ansible or other Configuration Management, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment tools? Do you have experience working with cloud native services operations like Container Management, Kubernetes, Docker Containers, and Helm?

The University of Cambridge’s Information Services is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer (Cloud Architect) to join a growing team of 18 engineers working on building new Cloud native services and modernising legacy applications. The services that the team maintains, of which some are public facing, are mainly used by university staff and students (circa 60,000 people). Your work will have a significant impact on the reputation of one of the world’s leading universities. These services use modern web architecture standards with APIs and are continuously built and tested using Continuous Integration tools. They run on Docker containers and get deployed to a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud infrastructure.

In your day to day job you will:

  • Help developers build good Dockerfiles.
  • Advise and work together with developers on infrastructure, maintenance, scalability, continuous integration and continuous deployment.
  • Create GitLab CI configuration to:
    • Build a production container.
    • Integrate with GitLab’s built in:
      • Static security analysis (SAST)
      • Dependency scanning
      • Secrets detection
      • Vulnerability detection
    • Run automated tests using a production container and report on code coverage and code quality.
    • Auto-deploy to a production-like test instance to then run functional tests using selenium.
  • Design cloud infrastructure, components, security, etc.
  • Use Terraform to create repeatable and scalable infrastructure in primarily Google Cloud with some infrastructure in Amazon Web Services. A typical infrastructure will be:
    • Google Cloud SQL
    • Either Google Kubernetes Engine (container based) or Google Cloud Run (serverless with containers). In the case of using GKE, Helm will be used to deploy services on to the platform.
    • Google Cloud Storage
    • Google Cloud KMS
    • Stackdriver monitoring and alarming for different components of the infrastructure and the service.
  • Mentor and train less senior DevOps engineers, helping them grow in the organisation.
  • Participate together with other senior engineers in other areas of expertise (Backend, FrontEnd, API, Security, etc) in continuously improving the University of Cambridge’s Information Services services, processes, and technology.

The team has a strong learning mindset and have produced boilerplates for our technology stack (Terraform, Ansible, Python, Django, React, and Typescript) that help us be more efficient, work better at scale and keep ourselves DRY. The team has a DevOps culture and uses Scrum for its day to day work, and we have adopted an “open by default” approach to new work and so you can find much of our work to date at https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/devops

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has experience working alongside developers in a multidisciplinary team
  • Has designed and implemented cloud architecture for systems using Terraform or similar.
  • Can explain in detail all the advantages of using containers.
  • Knows when it’s better to use Knative, when it’s not, and where the potential dragons lie in K8s multi-tenancies.
  • Is capable of cutting cloud bills by optimising resource utilization.

Informal enquiries are welcome and should be directed to Abraham Martin, amc203@cam.ac.uk.
