About the job

The Company

PQShield is a spinout from the University of Oxford specialising in post-quantum cryptography and cybersecurity. Our mission is to innovate and create solutions for the world’s most imminent security challenge: quantum computers. Our cryptosystems will ensure unparalleled internet security and data protection on a global scale across several industries – keeping us all safe as quantum computing technology develops.

Headquartered in Oxford, with additional teams in the Netherlands and France, our quantum-secure cryptographic solutions work with companies’ legacy systems to protect devices and sensitive data now and for years to come.

We are a well-funded and highly innovative deep tech company that considers our people to be our most important assets, and so our core value is to provide them with a work environment that promotes personal and professional growth. Hard work and loyalty are always met with acknowledgement, appreciation, and reward. We promote openness and flexibility, resulting in a friendly, family like environment.

Our corporate social responsibility centres around making sure our products are used in a constructive and positive way – we would like to think that our products will contribute to the greater good rather than be just another money-making commodity.

About the role

We are looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to take on responsibility for our servers, infrastructure and network security – helping us take PQShield to the next level as we expand internationally.

We are a fast growing but small team, and you will be the first dedicated member of the Infrastructure & Security Team, which means this role will be very hands-on, but at the same time you’ll be helping to develop the long-term strategy of the team and business. You’ll get to work closely with many people across the company, especially the R&D and Operations teams.

What you’ll be doing

Managing our existing development servers – these are physical machines running Linux (CentOS 7.9, Debian and Ubuntu) and Mac OS.
Managing our virtual servers which are currently Linux based.
Working with the R&D Teams and the VP Operations to develop and implement a scalable server strategy as the company grows.
Managing our network infrastructure and IT security across the company.
Implementing new servers and equipment when capacity is required – both virtual and physical (either in our offices or at a co-located site).
Working with our suppliers to procure new equipment when required.
Installing our industry specific tooling and configuring scheduling systems to manage jobs across a small computing cluster.
Managing local machines and endpoint security.
Setting up local machines and supporting our team with them from time-to-time.
Working with managed IT service providers on IT and security projects.

About you

You have great Linux administration skills (including Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian based distributions).
You like to be hands-on – scripting, configuring, installing things.
You have experience building Docker images, running their associated CI jobs and connecting to GitHub.
You are very comfortable with Python and Shell scripting.
You have experience working with networks and troubleshooting network problems.
You are experienced in network security – including configuration of firewalls and appropriate security policies.
You like getting stuff done, building and improving things, and have a ‘no job too small’ attitude.

Nice to have

Red Hat Certified.
Business proficiency in French.

What we can offer you

Competitive salary.
EMI share option scheme.
Flexible & remote working, and a working from home budget.
Private health insurance for yourself and your family.
25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays).
50% gym membership discount.
The chance to work with a really nice, smart and friendly team!
