  • Supporting releases, deployments and change activities in line with agreed processes
  • Contributing to improvements in monitoring, automation, documentation and support processes
  • Participating in DR and BCP testing
  • Taking part in a rotational shift pattern, including some weekend on-call support

Essential:

  • A proactive, self-motivated mindset with a genuine passion for technology
  • 5+ years’ experience in an IT or application support environment

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
