Azure vPlatform Engineer

Location: London – Hybrid (1 day per week in office)

Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 + Excellent Benefits

Overview

We are partnering with an industry‑leading organisation undergoing an exciting period of transformation and modernisation. Based in central London, they are seeking a skilled Platform Engineer to help shape, build, and evolve their cloud‑native infrastructure. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative engineering culture where high standards, autonomy, and continuous improvement are genuinely valued.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure with Azure, with a strong understanding of architectural reasoning—not just implementation.

• Develop reliable automation and tooling using Python or Bash, producing code suitable for peer review and long‑term maintainability.

• Manage and troubleshoot Linux systems at the OS level, diagnosing issues methodically without reliance on GUIs.

• Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi, with a focus on reusable, modular, well‑structured patterns.

• Own and optimise cloud networking components including VPCs, subnets, routing, DNS, security groups, and load balancers.

• Build meaningful observability using CloudWatch, Grafana, or Prometheus—creating dashboards that surface real issues, not vanity metrics.

• Apply strong Git practices within a team environment, including branching strategies, PR reviews, and clean commit hygiene.

• Manage IAM (AWS) or Service Principals (Azure) with a least‑privilege mindset baked into every design.

• Implement secure secrets management using tools such as AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or Azure Key Vault.

About You

You’ll thrive in this role if you bring:

• Solid experience across core cloud services (Compute, Networking, Storage, IAM, Serverless).

• Practical sysadmin knowledge and an understanding of what’s happening beneath cloud abstractions.

• A methodical, engineering‑led approach to debugging and problem‑solving.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, supportive, and fun team environment.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
