Our client is a pioneering, internationally operating non-profit organisation that supports disaster relief and development efforts through the analysis of data gained from mobile phones and household surveys.
For example, utilising the data mainly from mobile phone operators, our client analyses disaster-struck locations and provide decision making support to governments and other concerned parties, enabling relief to be targeted at the worst affected areas.
They are now looking for an IT Systems Engineer to support the continuous improvement of their information systems right across their organisation.
As an IT Systems Engineer, you will:
- Own the organisation's IT Service Management Programme
- Work with a diverse and cross-functional team of developers, academics, and data scientists
- Take ownership of technical projects related to the ongoing development and implementation of our IT Service Management and Information Security programmes
- Work with international partners to help them to install, maintain and operate the open-source toolkit
- Look after the tools that support the organisation's insight generation and method research and development
- Contribute directly to the daily operations of the Data Engineering Team
- Implement best practice around security and data privacy
- Support the wider Southampton team with their information communication technology needs
Interested? To be considered as our client's IT Systems Engineer, you will need:

- Virtualisation experience with VMware or VirtualBox
- A strong interest in systems security, cybersecurity and vulnerability management
- A bachelor's degree in systems engineering or a related discipline
- A high level of written and spoken English communication skills
Ideally, you'll have a CISSP certification or be working towards this. Familiarity with the core ISO27k standards, information risk and security management principles would also be an advantage, as would familiarity with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Knowledge of authentication systems would be equally desirable, as would Cloud computing knowledge or experience.
Other organisations may call this role Systems Engineer, Information Systems Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Systems Support Engineer, Programming Engineer, Senior Systems Administrator, or Python Engineer.
