Want to take real ownership of an Azure environment rather than spend your time maintaining someone else's decisions?

We're looking for aSenior Azure Platform Engineer to join an organisation going through a significant technology transformation, moving towards a predominantly cloud-native environment built around Azure and the wider Microsoft ecosystem.

This is a genuinely hands-on senior engineering role where you'll have the opportunity toshape the Azure platform, influence technical decisions and lead projects, with plenty of scope to improve automation, Infrastructure as Code and engineering standards.

You'll also get exposure toMicrosoft Fabric and modern data platforms as they become an increasingly important part of the organisation's technology estate.

What you'll be doing

• Taking ownership of engineering across a growing Microsoft Azure estate
• Designing and improving Azure infrastructure, networking, identity and security
• Driving greater adoption ofInfrastructure as Code and automation
• Working withTerraform and/or Bicep, PowerShell, Azure CLI, Git and CI/CD
• Implementing Azure governance, monitoring and security controls
• Working with technologies including Azure Policy, Key Vault, Private Endpoints and Defender
• Supporting the engineering platform behindMicrosoft Fabric and modern data workloads
• Leading technical projects and influencing cloud architecture decisions
• Helping replace legacy and manual processes with modern, automated solutions
• Acting as a senior technical escalation point for the platforms you build

What we're looking for

You'll be an experiencedAzure Engineer, Cloud Engineer or Platform Engineer with strong hands-on Microsoft Azure experience.

Ideally, you'll bring experience across:

• Azure architecture and administration
• Azure networking, identity and RBAC
• Terraform and/or Bicep
• PowerShell and Azure CLI
• Infrastructure as Code
• Git and CI/CD
• Azure security, governance and monitoring
• Automation and DevOps engineering practices

Experience withMicrosoft Fabric would be a big advantage, but it isn't essential.

We're equally interested in engineers who have worked with technologies such asAzure Databricks, Synapse, Data Lake, data pipelines or lakehouse architectures and want to develop further into Fabric.

Exposure to Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Defender, Purview or Power Platform would also be useful.

Why consider it?

This isn't a traditional infrastructure support role.

You'll havereal technical ownership, direct involvement in architecture and the freedom to improve how cloud infrastructure is engineered and deployed.

You'll be joining during a major period of modernisation, giving you the opportunity to influence the environment rather than simply inherit it.

And importantly, there's asenior technical career path without having to move into people management.
