- Conduct basic Linux diagnostics, such as checking logs, services, and system status.
- Use networking fundamentals to support initial triage, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs and routing basics.
- Escalate to SRE, DevOps, Network, platform, or vendor teams with clear evidence.
- Provide customer-facing updates in line with SLAs.
- Support shift handovers, routine health checks, and operational reporting.
- Help improve knowledge articles, runbooks, and standard operating procedures.
Essential Experience

- Comfortable working in a 24/7 shift-based operations environment.
- Experience using an ITSM/ticketing tool such as HaloITSM, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, FreshService or similar.
- Good troubleshooting mindset and ability to follow structured runbooks.
- Basic Linux command-line confidence.
- Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing/switching basics.
- Experience reading monitoring dashboards or alerts.
- Strong written and verbal communication, especially during incidents.
- Good judgement on when to resolve, when to escalate and what information to capture.
Nice to have:
- Experience / Interest in AI infrastructure, data centres, HPC or GPU environments.
- Exposure to Grafana, Prometheus, SolarWinds, Zabbix, Datadog, CloudWatch or similar.
- Basic Bash or Python scripting.
- ITIL Foundation, CompTIA Network+, Linux+ or similar.
