• Automate infrastructure and application delivery to improve reliability and reduce manual effort.


• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting using Azure-native tools.


• Support incident response, problem management, and root cause analysis.


• Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, and security teams to improve platform maturity.


• Contribute to platform standards, architecture, and roadmaps.


• Drive continuous improvement through automation, standardisation, and optimisation initiatives.


• Participate in an on‑call support rotation to support critical services.

Skills You’ll Bring

• 5+ years’ experience working in Azure / Microsoft cloud environments or Systems Engineering roles.


• Strong hands‑on experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code principles.


• Proven experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions).


• Strong understanding of cloud architecture, networking, identity, and security.


• Experience implementing DevSecOps practices, including security scanning and governance.


• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, App Insights).


• Familiarity with security frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST, ISO, CIS).


• Exposure to cloud security, vulnerability management, and compliance requirements.


• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.


• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and business stakeholders.

What’s in it for you?

Working with a global organisation, you’ll play a key role in shaping and evolving APM’s cloud and platform engineering capabilities.
