Infrastructure Engineer

Data Infrastructure Engineer

Location: Greater Manchester, Onsite

Salary: Up to £55K DOE

Stockford Recruitment is working with a fast-growing technology business specialising in infrastructure as they expand their technical team with two new hires.

This isn't your typical desk-based infrastructure role. You'll work hands-on across the full infrastructure lifecycle – building servers from component level, Linux administration, virtualisation, networking, storage, racking, cabling and troubleshooting.

What you'll be doing

• Build, configure and deploy GPU/compute servers
• Rack, cable and commission equipment
• Administer Linux environments – primarily Ubuntu/Debian
• Work with Proxmox, VMs and GPU passthrough
• Support RAID, NVMe, ZFS and LVM storage
• Configure and troubleshoot VLANs, routing, firewalls and networking
• Diagnose hardware, performance and connectivity issues
• Test and benchmark new GPUs and server technology
• Contribute ideas around infrastructure design and improvements

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have experience across:

Linux | Server Hardware | Virtualisation | Networking | Storage | Infrastructure Troubleshooting

Experience with GPU/NVIDIA hardware, Proxmox, HPC, Zabbix/Prometheus/Grafana, Bash, Python or Ansible would be advantageous.

For the Senior position, previous experience leading or managing technical team members is required.

Important: You'll need a clean UK manual driving licence, your own transport and be comfortable working onsite in Greater Manchester 5 days a week.

Why consider it?

You'll join a small, growing technical team and get genuine hands-on exposure to high-performance infrastructure, with plenty of opportunity to learn, contribute ideas and take on greater responsibility.

Stockford Recruitment has previously supported this business with two technical hires, both of whom remain with the company and are doing well. These are additional hires as the team continues to grow.
