Purpose of the role
The Lead Infrastructure Systems Engineer is a pivotal role within the IT department, responsible for overseeing the implementation, maintenance, and optimisation of the organisation's infrastructure and backend systems. This role requires a combination of technical expertise, organisation and leadership skills to ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of the infrastructure environment. The Lead Infrastructure Systems Engineer works closely with cross-functional teams to implement infrastructure solutions aligned with business objectives and industry best practices.

Technical to Managerial ratio is anticipated to be 80:20.
