Our Operations function is part of the Tech Team responsible for the reliability, performance, and security of the infrastructure and platforms that power GTI’s digital products. Spanning on-premises infrastructure, cloud environments, and managed services, the team ensures that GTI’s systems remain available, performant, and resilient across the UK and beyond.
Working closely with Product Engineers, Software Engineers, and wider Technology teams, the Operations team manages the databases, monitoring, networking, and cloud infrastructure that underpin GTI’s platforms. The team takes a proactive approach to observability, incident management, and continuous improvement, building the operational foundations that enable delivery teams to move with confidence and speed.
As cloud hybrid, AI and automation continue to reshape infrastructure management, the team continuously evolves its tooling, processes, and capabilities to improve reliability, security, and efficiency across GTI’s growing platform estate.
As a Junior Operations Engineer, you will be part of the team responsible for supporting the databases, infrastructure and operational systems that keep GTI’s platforms running across on-premises and AWS cloud environments.
The responsibilities will include the following with hands-on training as necessary:
This is a hands-on technical role requiring mainly Linux skills but more importantly, an engineering mindset where detail matters and the ability and desire to learn everything from AWS cloud services to Cyber security. This role will have the opportunity to learn it all.
Training and playbooks will be provided initially, with the expectation that you will develop your skills and take on greater responsibility and autonomy over time.
The role includes occasional planned out-of-hours work for maintenance and patching of critical systems. This is a broad infrastructure operations role rather than a traditional DBA position. Some SQL knowledge is useful, but the focus is on operating the infrastructure and platforms that support our services.
GTI’s database estate operates reliably, performantly, and securely across all environments.
All critical systems and data are backed up with recovery processes that are tested and trusted.
Infrastructure, databases, and services are monitored, enabling fast detection and response to issues.
GTI’s infrastructure remains stable, secure, and well-maintained.
The ideal candidate will be technically minded, dependable and keen to develop a career in infrastructure and operations. You do not need experience with all of the technologies below; we are looking for someone with strong technical aptitude, a willingness to learn and a proactive approach to problem solving. It’s rare to get an opportunity to work and learn across such a broad estate.
You’ll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with technologies including:
Over time, you’ll develop the skills and confidence to manage a number of these technologies independently.
Permanent role – 37.5 hours per week. Monday to Friday 9am-5:30pm. 3-month probationary period.
Candidates applying for roles at GTI will be subject to background screening. You can find out more about our background screening and the recruitment of ex-offenders by reading our policies.
