• Work alongside project and professional services teams implementing infrastructure improvements and cloud automation
• Mentor 2nd line engineers and help develop operational processes and technical runbooks
• Participate in major incident escalation and support global infrastructure operations when required
• Hands‑on experience supporting Azure infrastructure within production environments
• Strong Windows / Wintel infrastructure background within enterprise environments
• Experience leading complex technical incidents and supporting enterprise-scale systems
• Solid understanding of Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD concepts, including the ability to interpret and validate deployments
• Comfortable working across global stakeholders and multi-site technical teams

Nice to Have's

• Experience working within a manager service provider or enterprise cloud transformation programme
• Exposure to Azure landing zone design, governance frameworks or consolidation projects

Why Join

• Work on a visible enterprise Azure platform supporting a major global customer

• Remote‑first culture with structured collaboration where beneficial
