You'll take hands-on ownership of infrastructure engineering - designing, automating and maintaining Azure infrastructure at scale - while acting as a senior technical point of contact for the wider service team. This role suits someone who lives and breathes infrastructure-as-code, treats automation as the default way of working, and wants to deliver resilient, secure and cost-efficient cloud platforms for our customers.

Qualifications - Proven, in-depth experience engineering and operating Microsoft Azure environments in production. - Extensive Terraform experience - writing, structuring and maintaining modules, state management, workspaces and remote backends. - Strong DevOps background, including CI/CD pipeline design, Git-based workflows and release automation. - Demonstrable experience leading or mentoring engineers, setting technical direction and coordinating team delivery. - Solid scripting ability in PowerShell, Bash or Python. - Sound understanding of Azure networking, identity (Entra ID), security and governance. - Experience with monitoring and observability tooling such as Azure Monitor and Log Analytics. - Excellent troubleshooting skills and a methodical, root-cause approach to problems. Requirements - Azure certifications (such as AZ-104, AZ-305 or AZ-400) or a HashiCorp Terraform Associate qualification. - Experience with containers and orchestration (AKS, Docker, Kubernetes). - Exposure to multi-tenant or MSP environments and client-facing delivery. - Familiarity with configuration management and policy-as-code tooling. Benefits - Join a skilled, collaborative Cloud Operations team working on varied, high-impact projects. - Genuine investment in your growth through funded certifications and training. - Flexible, fully remote working from anywhere in the UK. - A culture that values automation, engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
