Reporting to: Head of IT Infrastructure

The Role:

We are seeking a hands-on and experienced Infrastructure Cloud Engineer with a strong foundation in traditional on-premise Infrastructure to join our growing IT Team. This role is central to transforming and migrating our existing infrastructure into a scalable, resilient and modern cloud-based environment. As part of a small, multi-skilled team you will also contribute skills and knowledge across a wide range of adjacent cloud technologies. This is a key role with significant influence on the future direction of our technology landscape.

What you'll be doing:

• Infrastructure Transformation:
  Play a key role in the migration and modernisation of existing on-premise infrastructure to a scalable, cloud-native environment in Microsoft Azure.
• Infrastructure-as-code & automation:
  Design, implement and manage Terraform and Ansible based infrastructure automation, helping the team improve consistency, reliability, and speed of deployment across both cloud and on-premise environments
• Collaboration with Security:
  Partner with the security team to embed robust security practices and monitoring tools into the infrastructure, ensuring all systems meet compliance, resilience, and audit standards.
• Tooling and optimisation:
  Identify and implement new tools and technologies to improve system monitoring, performance, and operational efficiency across both on-prem and cloud-based infrastructure.
• Cross-Technology support: As part of a small, flexible technology team, take ownership of a broad set of responsibilities, including infrastructure support, scripting,
  Intune, and automation tooling - stepping outside your core remit as needed to support team and business goals.
• Hands-on project delivery:
  Lead and contribute to infrastructure-focused projects from planning through to delivery, ensuring they are executed efficiently, meet business requirements, and are aligned with technical standards.
• Documentation and knowledge sharing:
  Maintain accurate technical documentation and contribute to the team’s knowledge base, ensuring that systems are well understood, and knowledge is shared across the team.

We're looking for someone with:

• Extensive experience in IT infrastructure, including on-premise servers, networking, storage and active directory / Entra ID
• Strong expertise in Microsoft Azure, including experience with cloud migration, virtual networking, identity and resource management
• Experience with Azure Stack HCI / Azure Local
• Hands-on experience with automation and infrastructure-as-code tooling including Terraform, Ansible and PowerShell
• Good understanding of security principles and proven experience with collaborating with security teams with a focus on Infrastructure hardening, monitoring and compliance
• Familiarity with endpoint management solutions such as Microsoft Intune, and a willingness to support broader IT systems beyond core infrastructure.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to take ownership of complex infrastructure challenges from design through to implementation
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to adapt to a rapidly changing environment and manage multiple priorities.

What you'll bring to the role:

• A solid track record of hands-on infrastructure engineering, with experience in migrating traditional on-prem systems to Microsoft Azure in complex environments.
• Deep knowledge of both cloud and on-premise infrastructure, including servers, networking, Identity, and storage technologies.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code and automation using Terraform, Ansible, and PowerShell.
• Experience working in small, agile technology teams, showing the ability to contribute across a broad range of tools and platforms, including areas outside your core remit.
• Strong understanding of IT security practices and experience working alongside security teams to ensure infrastructure is resilient and compliant.
• A hands-on approach to infrastructure modernisation, with an emphasis on monitoring, automation, and operational efficiency.
• Mastery in implementing and utilising advanced monitoring and automation tools to enhance IT operations.
• Excellent problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills, with the ability to operate independently and take initiative in a dynamic environment.
