Are you passionate about automation, infrastructure visibility, and proactive monitoring? We're seeking an experienced Infrastructure Operations & Monitoring Engineer to join a newly formed technology group within a global financial organisation. This team is driving automation and resilience across enterprise infrastructure - building a smarter, more self-sufficient environment through intelligent monitoring and process optimisation.
The Role
This is not a traditional infrastructure engineer position - it's a hands-on monitoring role focused on designing, implementing, and refining monitoring solutions that improve visibility and service quality.
You'll work closely with a wide range of teams and stakeholders to understand systems, processes, and dependencies - then develop monitoring strategies that provide real-time insights into performance and resilience.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and optimise infrastructure monitoring environments using tools such as LogicMonitor and SolarWinds.
Collaborate with technical and business teams to understand systems and create tailored monitoring solutions that improve visibility and performance.
Produce clear reports and dashboards to communicate system status, health, and incident trends.
Automate monitoring and reporting tasks using PowerShell, Perl, or Bash.
Contribute to automation initiatives as the organisation moves towards "automation from code."
Support integration of new tools, including AnswerBall (implementation planned).
Maintain accurate documentation and ensure compliance with security and change management processes.
Skills & Experience
Proven experience in infrastructure monitoring and administration.
Strong understanding of monitoring environments and reporting.
Hands-on experience with LogicMonitor and/or SolarWinds.
Scripting experience (PowerShell, Perl, Bash).
Knowledge of security and change management processes.
Experience working in complex or regulated environments - financial services preferred.
Cloud experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is a plus.
