The Role

As an Azure Cloud Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing, delivering, and optimising cloud solutions within the Microsoft Azure environment. You’ll focus on automation, scalability, and security — ensuring services are efficient, reliable, and aligned with best practice.

• Monitor and optimise cloud performance, ensuring services meet SLAs and are cost-efficient.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues within the Azure environment.
• Migrate on-premise systems to Azure and deploy new solutions.
• Implement cloud security measures (encryption, firewalls, identity and access management).
• Develop automated processes using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), pipelines, and containerisation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, translating technical detail into business value.
• Stay up to date with the latest Azure technologies and bring forward new ideas for improvement.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (PaaS, IaaS, networking, security).
• Knowledge of virtual networks, VPNs, firewalls, and load balancers.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps tools, and containerisation (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM, Bicep, or similar).
• A solid understanding of cloud governance, compliance, and data security best practices.
• Bonus: Exposure to other cloud platforms or hybrid environments.

What’s In It for You

• Career Growth: Learn from senior engineers and progress into more senior technical roles.
• Continuous Learning: Dedicated time for training, certifications, and workshops.
• Collaboration: Be part of a team that values knowledge-sharing and innovation.
• Wellbeing & Benefits: A comprehensive package covering health, lifestyle, financial, and personal wellbeing.
