Fully Funded Training & Certifications

Pulse Group are exclusively looking for a Platform Engineer to join the Data Centre Services team of one of the world’s leading universities .

Our client is a globally recognised institution at the forefront of science, technology, engineering, medicine and business , with more than 20,000 students and a reputation for world-leading research and innovation. Their technology estate supports cutting-edge research across multiple London campuses and specialist facilities.

You’ll be joining the team responsible for the physical infrastructure behind that research and teaching , working across enterprise storage and backup spanning three data centres, including a newly built High Performance Computing (HPC) facility .

This is a proper hands-on infrastructure role, not DevOps , with the opportunity to take real ownership of some significant infrastructure projects.

What we’re looking for:

• Good understanding of servers, storage, networking and infrastructure
• Experience with technologies such as IBM Storage, Fibre Channel, Rubrik, NetWorker or Commvault
• Comfortable working across traditional on-prem / Data Centre environments
• Linux experience would be highly beneficial, but isn’t essential
• Someone comfortable taking ownership and working independently
• Hands-on Data Centre experience such as racking, stacking and cabling would be a bonus

What you’ll be getting stuck into:

There’s plenty happening from day one, including enterprise storage and backup operations , infrastructure across multiple Data Centres, storage procurement and deployment, and a major NetWorker → Commvault migration kicking off in Q1 2027.

If you’re an Infrastructure / Platform Engineer with a strong storage and backup background and this sounds interesting, we’d love to hear from you.
