This is a broad infrastructure role combining Microsoft Azure, datacentre infrastructure automation, identity and virtualisation, with the opportunity to work on complex, business-critical systems and projects.

You’ll be operating at 3rd-line / engineering level, providing expert technical support while also helping shape and deliver improvements across the organisation's cloud and infrastructure estate.

What you'll be doing

• Design, deploy and manage infrastructure and services across Microsoft Azure, with a focus on availability, security, scalability and cost optimisation.
• Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate infrastructure provisioning and management using Terraform, ARM, Bicep, PowerShell or similar.
• Act as a 3rd-line escalation point, diagnosing and resolving complex infrastructure incidents and problems.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Microsoft Azure.
• AZ-104 certification or equivalent demonstrable Azure expertise.
• Experience deploying and managing Azure IaaS and public-cloud infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform, ARM templates, Bicep and/or PowerShell.

This is an opportunity to join a global technology environment where you'll have genuine exposure across Azure, cloud engineering, datacentre infrastructure, automation, virtualisation and enterprise systems.

You'll have the opportunity to work on complex projects, influence infrastructure improvements and develop your expertise across a broad modern technology estate.

If you're an Azure-focused infrastructure engineer who enjoys combining hands‑on engineering with automation, problem solving and continuous improvement, we'd like to hear from you.
