You understand the OS kernel, permissions, and storage management. Web Stack Fluency: You aren't just an admin; you understand the build requirements of Laravel (PHP) and Next.js (Node/React) applications. CI/CD Expertise: Proven experience configuring GitLab CI, managing runners, and debugging complex pipeline failures. AWS Fundamentals: Solid understanding of core AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, Security Groups, IAM). Communication: Ability to collaborate effectively with another DevOps engineer and the wider development team. Experience transitioning manual server management to Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Ansible or Terraform). Experience with Docker for creating consistent build environments or future containerization strategies. Background in web performance optimization (caching, CDN, asset compression).  

Technology Director   Our client is seeking a Director of Technology who can step into a leadership position and galvanize their existing IT. This individual must have extensive knowledge in system architecture and infrastructure, particularly with the technologies they rely on such as AWS, Microsoft SQL, and Kafka. They need someone who can bring comprehensive expertise in future-proofing their technology stack—ensuring that they're not only maintaining the current infrastructure but also continuously optimizing and upgrading it to deliver best-in-class performance and availability. The Tech Director will also need to be heavily involved in several system integration tasks, with a strong focus on network security and redundancy to ensure system protection and maximum uptime. The product department handles software development and third-party content integrations. Therefore, the critical skills that need to be concentrated on are in network system security, network infrastructure, redundancy, performance management, data personnel management, and ensuring seamless connectivity between their stores and the system. This also includes overseeing the hardware and peripherals used throughout the organization, such as kiosks, ATMs, and POS terminals. While a background in gaming would be a plus, it’s not a necessity. However, we would certainly favor candidates who come from that specific area.
