Job description

Are you interested in Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps? Do you thrive in an engaging environment where technical skills and global collaboration are paramount? If so, we want to hear from you!

We’re looking for a Lead Cloud Engineer to join our Infrastructure & Platforms team in Aarhus or Middelfart. This is a demanding and complex role that combines hands‑on cloud competence with lead responsibility, coordination, and governance across our hybrid IT landscape.

The role requires strong operational overview, coordination and execution capabilities, particularly in relation to cloud governance controls, access administration, security operations, and vendor‑driven platform activities. You’ll manage and drive cloud initiatives, ensuring structured execution and follow‑up while collaborating closely with internal teams and external consultants.

As a Lead Cloud Engineer, you’ll implement and operationalise cloud solutions in close collaboration with Solution Architects. You will take lead responsibility for operational cloud infrastructure governance, security follow‑up and access management execution across the platform, ensuring that our cloud platform is operated in a controlled, secure, and well‑governed manner and act as a key link between Bunker Holding IT, Unit IT and other outsourcing partners.

What We’re Looking For

We need someone with a holistic approach; someone who understands how systems interconnect and can maintain overview and control of complex cloud and hybrid environments. You combine technical insight with strong coordination and leadership skills and take ownership of operational governance implementation and security‑related topics across the platform. You’ll collaborate closely with Group IT Solution Architects on secure hybrid solutions, lead and follow‑up on vendor activities, manage SecOps and governance implementation tasks such as operational access management, security initiatives, Pentest follow‑ups and audit findings. Continued collaboration with external consultants is a natural part of the role.

Key Responsibilities

• Take lead responsibility for implementing, operating and maintaining cloud infrastructure governance controls, security measures and access management processes in alignment with established architecture across the platform.
• Implement and operationalise secure hybrid IT solutions based on architectural guidance and in collaboration with Solution Architects.
• Ensure operational overview, structure and control of cloud operations and vendor deliverables.
• Build and maintain strong partnerships with outsourcing vendors and manage joint initiatives.
• Identify optimisation opportunities and support partners in defining operational procedures and controls.
• Support cloud migration initiatives and ensure stable, secure operations.
• Manage SecOps responsibilities, including Pentest and audit findings.
• Provide third‑level support and ensure documentation and proper vendor handover.
• Advise on operational cloud infrastructure, platform controls and governance execution within Bunker Holding Group IT.

Your Profile

The ideal candidate has strong experience with Azure Cloud services and understands the balance between hands‑on engineering, operational leadership and platform governance implementation. You may come from a Cloud Engineer background and have grown into a lead role focused on operational overview, platform stability, security follow‑up and coordination across complex environments. Experience within Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a significant advantage, especially combined with a solid understanding of cloud governance and access models.

We expect that you bring:

• Strong experience with Azure Cloud services, including Azure DevOps, Networking and security‑related services. Knowledge and experience with GitHub is an advantage.
• Understanding of governance, access management and cloud security in complex environments.
• Solid DevOps understanding, including automation, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (currently using Terraform).
• Ability to take lead responsibility and coordinate across internal teams and external partners.
• Strong communication, collaboration and problem‑solving skills.
• A structured mindset with focus on overview, quality and long‑term stability.
