Job description

Role: Senior Linux Engineer (Red Hat / OpenShift / VMware Migration)

Location: Edinburgh, UK (Hybrid)

Salary: £70k-£85k DOE


The Role

A tech-led organisation is looking for a Senior Linux Engineer to play a key role in transforming its core infrastructure. You’ll lead the move from a traditional VMware estate into a modern Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation platform, while also supporting and optimising the existing environment during the transition.

This is a hands-on role combining Linux expertise, virtualisation, and platform engineering.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Designing and delivering Red Hat OpenShift platforms on bare-metal infrastructure
  • Leading the migration of workloads from VMware-based environments into OpenShift Virtualisation
  • Supporting and maintaining existing VMware environments during the transition phase
  • Managing Linux systems across a high-availability, production environment
  • Driving improvements in performance, scalability, and reliability across the platform
  • Working with enterprise storage solutions to support VM and container workloads
  • Supporting backup, disaster recovery, and resilience planning
  • Owning day-to-day platform operations (patching, upgrades, live migrations, etc.)
  • Acting as an escalation point for complex infrastructure and platform issues
  • Collaborating with engineering teams to improve automation and operational processes
  • Participating in an on-call rota and supporting key out-of-hours work


What They’re Looking For

  • Strong Linux engineering background (typically 7+ years)
  • Hands-on experience with Red Hat OpenShift or Kubernetes
  • Solid experience with VMware (vSphere / ESXi / vCenter)
  • Experience delivering or supporting virtualisation migrations or transformations
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure and platform layers


Desirable Experience

  • Red Hat certifications (OpenShift / Linux)
  • Experience with OpenShift Virtualisation or similar technologies
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure or similar)
  • Experience with enterprise storage and monitoring tools
