Azure Engineer & Architect

We’re working with a leading professional services firm to find a senior Azure Engineer and Architect to design and own a new Azure platform from the ground up.

The firm is investing seriously in its own digital infrastructure to support innovation and scalable delivery across its practice. You’ll work closely with digital leadership, delivery teams and internal security and cloud teams to shape, build and govern that environment.

You’ll own the target architecture for the Azure platform - defining environments, shared services and reusable components. You’ll act as the Azure design authority, setting standards and guardrails that balance innovation with firm-wide compliance. Security-by-design is central to the role, working closely with Risk, Privacy and Info Sec teams. You’ll lead Fin Ops practices and own operational processes covering provisioning, monitoring, resilience and disaster recovery.

And you’ll be hands-on - building and configuring core platform components, mentoring the team, and acting as the escalation point for Azure across Consulting.

• Significant hands‑on experience designing and operating Azure environments in a regulated or enterprise context
• Strong across Azure core services:
  Entra , RBAC, managed identities, VNets, private endpoints, firewalls, Azure Policy, governance frameworks
• Experience defining platform‑level architecture, not just individual workloads
• Infrastructure‑as‑code in practice
• Cloud operating models, environment management and Fin Ops
• Confident with senior stakeholders — able to challenge constructively and hold a position

If you’re an Azure architect who wants genuine platform ownership at a well‑resourced, ambitious firm - get in touch.
