Job description

Rumenaut is a start-up business focussed on development and commercialisation of ground-breaking intellectual property and technologies targeted at mitigating methane emissions and enhancing feed utilisation in ruminant animals. As we grow, we’re looking for a hands‑on Systems Administrator who’s not just great with infrastructure but also willing to roll up their sleeves and get involved in our development and R&D initiatives.

If you like working in a fast‑paced environment, enjoy variety in your day, and want to be part of something that’s making a real‑world impact—this might be the role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Keep our systems running smoothly : Manage and maintain our servers, cloud instances, and internal IT tools.
  • Lock it down : Help write, maintain, and enforce security policies. Keep our infrastructure secure and up to date.
  • Support the team : Provide IT support when things go sideways (laptops, accounts, printers, etc.) and keep our small team productive.
  • Handle the network stuff : Configure and troubleshoot routers, switches, VPNs, and Wi‑Fi at our offices and remote sites.
  • Own our databases : Set up, monitor, and maintain key databases used across our platform and internal tools.
  • Jump into development : Work closely with our dev and R&D teams to support our R&D initiatives.
  • Document what matters : Keep our internal docs and processes up to date and easy to follow.

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in systems or network administration (or something similar)
  • Solid understanding of security best practices and IT policy implementation
  • Comfortable with both Linux and Windows environments
  • Strong troubleshooting skills, especially around networking and infrastructure
  • Experience managing relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL)
  • Some scripting / automation chops (e.g., Bash, Python, or PowerShell)
  • A self‑starter who’s comfortable working independently and figuring things out as you go
  • Someone who enjoys learning and isn’t afraid to step outside the traditional sysadmin lane
  • Bonus Points For

  • Experience with virtualisation technologies (Proxmox) and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure).
  • Prior experience in a startup or small, fast‑moving team
  • Interest or background in agriculture, ag‑tech, or environmental systems
  • What You’ll Get

  • The chance to be part of a passionate, driven team building real solutions for agriculture
  • A role with lots of autonomy and variety—you won’t be doing the same thing every day
  • Opportunities to work on R&D and experimental tech projects
  • #J-18808-Ljbffr
