• Monitoring and optimising cloud environments using tools like Azure Monitor, CloudWatch and Grafana.
• Supporting incident response and driving continuous improvement initiatives.

What you'll bring:

• Proven hands-on experience with both AWS and Azure cloud services.
• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation).
• Solid experience with automation tools such as Ansible or GitHub Actions.
• Strong understanding of Windows and Linux system administration.
• Familiarity with cloud security, governance, and compliance frameworks.
• Scripting knowledge in PowerShell, Python, or Bash.

• Certifications in AWS or Azure, such as AWS Solutions Architect or Azure Administrator.
• Experience with Kubernetes (AKS or EKS) and CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps, Jenkins).
• Familiarity with cloud cost management tools and Zero Trust principles.
