Job Description

Posted Sunday, June 22, 2025 at 4 : 00 PM

The Infrastructure Platforms team manages all server-related infrastructure and hardware within the datacentres in Clarks, including virtualisation, storage, compute, backup and recovery. We now have an excellent opportunity for someone keen to get experience in a broad range of systems and services. In larger companies, there’s often a narrower focus, but working in the small team we have in Clarks means the role has accountability for many technologies.

This is a great opportunity if you are currently working as an AIX / Linux System Administrator, who is looking to expand your expertise working in a small team supporting IBM Power hardware. You will be working alongside experienced professionals located in the UK to ensure the reliability and performance of our critical systems.

What You'll Do

• Day-to-day activities can vary from remote management of operating systems, performance monitoring and tuning, troubleshooting (often with broad involvement from multiple teams and including out-of-hours support), hardware replacement and maintenance of storage appliances, cabling, and firmware updates. Each day can be very different.
• Support the setup, configuration, and basic troubleshooting of IBM Power hardware, gaining hands-on experience.
• Perform routine maintenance and firmware management under supervision.
• Assist in AIX and Linux system administration on IBM Power architecture, including basic patching, OS upgrades, and deployment tasks.
• Learn to configure and maintain HMC and VIOS environments.
• Support IBM storage provisioning, snapshot restores, and replication policy maintenance.
• Assist in IBM Workload Scheduler operations and platform maintenance liaising with the batch operations team to ensure the schedule is running smoothly and aiding them where needed.
• Contribute to the maintenance and testing of disaster recovery (DR) procedures with guidance from senior team members.
• Develop your scripting skills in helping to maintain SFTP servers and scripts.
• Develop an understanding of IBM Spectrum Protect backup / recovery operations, including tape library maintenance and disk / tape backups.

What You'll bring with You

About Clarks

Clarks, based in Somerset, England, has been at the forefront of innovative shoemaking since its foundation in 1825 when brothers James and Cyrus Clark made a slipper from sheepskin off-cuts. Sparking revolutions and defining generations, Clarks’ archive of over 22,000 pairs includes the inimitable Desert Boot and Wallabee – and a ground-breaking combination of invention and craftsmanship remains at the heart of what the brand does now. Cutting-edge collaborations with cultural icons and KOLs, taking strides in social change, reimagining legendary silhouettes, and making shoes that move with the world ahead – Clarks is never standing still.
