Job description

We’re working with a leading SaaS technology company that’s redefining how businesses optimise their digital footprints – a platform we actively use ourselves (so we know just how good it is). Now, they’re looking for an Azure Infrastructure Engineer to help tackle a high-impact cloud challenge and strengthen their core platform.

Here’s the gist: Having moved from a traditional data centre to the cloud, they’re experiencing intermittent website drops, and they need a cloud expert to investigate, diagnose, and stabilise the platform.

• Hybrid - 2 days a week onsite at a Cheshire location (must be based in the UK)
• Max 1-month notice

This is where you come in. And here's the best bit: you'll be joining a tight-knit, tech-forward team full of people who love what they do. It’s an environment where curiosity is encouraged, innovation is constant, and there’s always someone to bounce ideas off – whether it’s over code or coffee.

What you’ll be doing:

• Own and optimise the Azure infrastructure, resolving stability issues following their move from data centre to cloud.
• Monitor drops, investigate root causes, and drive long-term fixes – not band-aids.
• Partner with DevOps and product teams to enhance CI/CD workflows, implement Infrastructure as Code (Bicep), and elevate platform resilience.
• Take full control of DNS, network performance, and visibility via Grafana, with a focus on security (WAF) and availability.

What skills you need:

• Proven expertise in Azure infrastructure and cloud performance tuning.
• Comfort working with DevOps-heavy environments with CI/CD, IaC (Bicep), and strong scripting experience.
• Skills in DNS management, network troubleshooting, Grafana dashboards, and web security tools like WAFs.
• A proactive mindset – someone who doesn’t wait to be told there’s a problem.

Why this team?

This isn’t your typical corporate tech department. It’s a fun, forward-thinking culture where engineers thrive, learn from one another, and genuinely enjoy building cool, scalable stuff. Whether you're sharing deployment tips over lunch or diving into observability tools with the team, there’s a real sense of community, purpose, and growth.

Sound like your kind of challenge?

If you’re on a notice period of 1 month or less, and you’re ready to make an impact in a product-led, tech-obsessed environment – we’d love to chat.
