Azure DevOps Engineer | Azure, Terraform, CI / CD | Bank-Grade Cloud Platform Build

• £600–£650 p / d (Outside IR35)
• 5-month initial contract (extensions likely)
• Hybrid : London (2 days / week on-site)

The Role

Join a newly formed Cloud Platform Engineering team building a greenfield Azure platform for a regulated banking venture. You’ll join as a senior individual contributor, taking ownership of the most complex, high‑risk platform engineering work across a large Azure estate in a regulated financial services environment.

This is not a people management role — you’ll lead through your code, your technical judgement, and your ability to turn ambitious platform designs into secure, scalable, production‑ready infrastructure.

You will :

• Own and deliver the highest‑risk, most complex or ambiguous platform work
• Build and enhance Azure landing zones and internal platform services
• Deliver infrastructure‑as‑code, CI / CD , self‑service tooling and observability end‑to‑end
• Challenge design assumptions with a “show me the code” approach
• Pair with engineers to unblock delivery and lift team‑wide engineering standards

Non-Negotiables :

• 8+ years infrastructure engineering in Azure environments
• Terraform expertise at scale : modules, composition, patterns and anti‑patterns
• Strong Azure networking, security and governance knowledge
• Experience in regulated environments (FS, healthcare, government, etc.)
• CI / CD and automation experience (Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions, scripting)
• Ability to troubleshoot complex infra, identity, networking and security issues
• TDD / automated testing for infrastructure changes
• Experience mentoring and guiding other engineers

What You’ll Work With :

• Terraform : modular IaC, policy integration, testing and validation
• Azure Core : networking, security, identity, governance, landing zones
• Azure PaaS : App Service, Functions, container platforms (ACA / AKS)
• CI / CD : GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps with full automation
• Observability : logging, metrics, dashboards and alerting
• Incident Response : diagnosing and resolving complex platform issues

Why Join :

• Shape a secure, scalable Azure platform in a regulated financial services environment
• Own complex landing zones and platform capabilities that have organisation‑wide impact
• Influence engineering standards, patterns and delivery practices
• Work in a collaborative, Kanban‑driven team focused on high‑quality delivery
• Lead through hands‑on engineering, pairing and code reviews — not hierarchy

If you enjoy solving deep technical problems, shipping high‑quality infrastructure, and elevating engineering teams through hands‑on expertise, this role will suit you perfectly.
