• Cloud Strategy: Designing HLD/LLD, BoM pricing, and architectural roadmaps.
• Migration Excellence: Leading On‑prem to Cloud transitions using Azure Migrate
  .
• Linux Mastery: Deep‑dive troubleshooting of networking, clusters, and kernel tuning (RHEL/CentOS focus).
• Security & Governance: Managing Azure Key Vault, IAM, and high-security UNIX environments.

• Experience: 12+ years in IT with 5+ years dedicated to Azure (IaaS/PaaS, Networking, Storage).
• Linux Expertise: Strong hands‑on skills in shell scripting, DNS, Postfix, and performance tuning (Varnish/HAProxy).
• Leadership: Proven ability to govern technical teams and manage senior stakeholders.
• Clearance: Active SC Clearance is mandatory.
• Certifications (Bonus): AZ-305, AZ-104, RHCE, or RHCA.

• Location: London, UK (Hybrid: 2 days per week in‑office).
• Duration: 6 Months + Extension.
• Compliance: Inside IR35.

Join a project where you aren't just following a blueprint—you're drawing it. If you thrive in complex environments and enjoy mentoring talented engineers while staying "hands‑on," we want to hear from you.
