About the Role
We're working on behalf of a well-established public sector organisation to find a  Senior Azure Cloud Engineer  to join their Strategy, Architecture & Innovation team. This is a business delivering essential services to communities across Scotland, currently going through a significant cloud-first digital transformation. This is a hands-on engineering role at heart, with room to bring architectural thinking where it's useful.

You'll help set up landing zones and subscriptions for major projects, support colleagues after handover, and play a key part in mentoring more junior members of the team as they develop their skills.
What You'll Do
Design, build, and configure secure, scalable Azure landing zones and subscriptions for new and ongoing projects
Own infrastructure delivery through Infrastructure as Code - no manual changes are made outside of this process
Apply networking and security best practice across the Azure estate
Work closely with project teams during setup, then provide ongoing support as needed once delivery is underway
Mentor and support junior colleagues and graduate placements, sharing knowledge and best practice
Collaborate with the wider architecture function to keep infrastructure aligned with broader cloud strategy
Contribute to the team's continuous improvement as we develop our cloud platform
What You'll Need
Hands-on Azure experience , with a strong networking and security background
Infrastructure as Code experience is a must  - Bicep is our tool of choice, but strong Terraform experience is equally welcome
Dev Ops experience , ideally with Azure Dev Ops and Git-based CI/CD
Comfort and enthusiasm for  mentoring  less experienced colleagues
Some exposure to architectural thinking is helpful, though this is primarily a hands-on engineering role
No specific industry background required - we welcome applicants from any sector
