We are looking for a Build and Deployment Engineer (Linux) to deliver software builds, packaging and deployments for EUMETSAT's mission-critical Linux ground-segment systems and to support new projects onto standardised, automated delivery workflows. **Background** The Computer and Systems Management (CSM) competence area, part of the Infrastructures for IT and Data Division (I2D) at EUMETSAT, provides all levels of system and software builds and deployments for the operational ground-segment infrastructure, alongside computing platforms, data storage and distribution, network services and infrastructure security for multi-mission environments. You will join the Build and Deployment Service Team within CSM, which covers routine builds, packaging and deployments, engineering and coordination for incoming projects, and the maintenance of the platform tooling landscape.
