How can you help us?

We’re experiencing rapid growth and so need to expand our renowned team of support engineers. Working as part of a single-tiered support team, you will help our worldwide customer base with a wide variety of problems.

You understand the pain a customer is suffering when a system is down, and you’re always ready to calmly put out the fire. Happy to deal with customers however they prefer – over the phone, email, chat and via remote session.

The role is based in our Portsmouth office, but you need to be flexible. Typically you will be working UK office hours – but is likely to require at least one evening (4 pm – 10 pm) per week, which can be done remotely. As the help desk is 24/7, there is also weekend cover which is currently 1-in-8 weeks on rotation for which there is an on-call payment plus claimable overtime.

As well as covering the support desk – You’ll also have plenty of time allocated for projects, research & self-directed learning i.e. more of what takes your personal interest.

  • Prior experience of load balancing
  • Scripting capability (Bash, Python, Powershell, etc.)
  • Good working knowledge of common virtualisation platforms such as VMware, Hyper-V, etc.
  • Good working knowledge of common cloud platforms such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, etc.
