Hello,

Long-time lurker here :)

My main client are very likely to be somewhat left in the lurch by me
upping sticks and moving to a new position in the public sector. I've
promised to try and help them out by replacing myself if possible.

The role is basically sysadmin/"devops", working for a startup. Their
infrastructure is largely on-premise/bare metal, though they do have an AWS
deployment as well. Their (and my) main focus over the last couple of
months has been building sending out very highly-specced tower servers to
run their platform. They're using Ansible for pretty much everything (the
bare-metal build and AWS) and the platform itself is java/tomcat-based. I
think the medium to long-term plan is to switch to a docker-ised solution,
but that's not even under development yet. That reminds me, one of the
projects being workd on is Kubernetes-based.

The platform itself is pretty interesting - they're using machine learning
to analyse vide/CCTV footage to do things like face/motion/person
detection, so any interest in that side of things would probably be to your
advantage.

Their office is in the Royal Institution in Mayfair, which I personally
find pretty cool, and they generally prefer people in the office - but some
working from home is possible.

Please get in touch if this sounds interesting, and you're looking for work
at the mo..

Thanks
