• Work with Infrastructure as Code to ensure repeatable and scalable deployments.
• Help establish common platform capabilities that support requirements around areas such as compliance, including the European AI Act.
• Prepare mature solutions for handover to the Azure Engineering Team for production management.
• Occasionally join customer discussions to provide technical expertise, while remaining primarily focused on the platform and its internal development.

What we're looking for

• Experience designing software components and thinking about architecture, scalability and reusability.
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Azure platform services.
• Experience with cloud deployments.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code.
• The ability to develop and validate technical concepts through proofs of concept.
• The ability to take technical ownership and provide direction to other engineers.
• Strong communication skills in English.
