Most of the tech enthusiasts who helped them kick off by buying for modding like cyanogen don't go near them now.

They used to be my recommendation to non technical friends and I doubt that I am the only one who long ago changed to other recommendations.

The company needs to revisit their roots in my opinion.

Take away open source and there would barely be a large tech company left standing.

Perhaps over time not immediate but execs and data harvesting, backdoors... I feel like it always goes one way and it's not the way a security conscious person would go.

Location:

Belfast, Northern Ireland Dual citizenship with Ireland & UK

Remote:

Any, full remote, hybrid or in office.

Willing to relocate:

Within reason, have mother in hospital so no more than a cheap, regular flight away - unless travel is irregular, then anywhere works.

Technologies:

Script in bash, python and if necessary groovy. Picking up Golang.

Worked with bare metal including data centre creation, hybrid cloud and mainly AWS with Azure and Alibaba exposure.

I prefer ansible for my IaC but I have experience with puppet, saltstack & Terraform for cloud provisioning

DBs I'm no stranger to InfluxDB or even KDB+ but I'm no DBA and main proficiency is with Postgres. Splunk including proper querying to a standard Quants were happy with. Elastic, can use, have experience, less fun to work with.

JIRA and confluence, heavy on the plugin side of things but anyone can design and manage those properly.

Monitoring wise check_mk, zabbix, datadog all experienced with to the point of monitoring HFT applications and hardware like custom NICs/FPGAs due to the race to zero.
