Job Description:

Westbrook Recruitment is looking for an Azure Cloud Engineer Lead to join a talented and growing engineering team to build a new Azure cloud platform.

This role would suit an Azure Cloud Engineer with some previous lead experience looking for a greenfield opportunity that requires cutting-edge solutions designed to enhance and integrate with clients' existing data and management systems.

• Pipeline creation (ideally with Azure DevOps)
