Lorien's longstanding client is looking for a Cloud Operations Engineer who’s excited by the challenge of keeping cloud infrastructure running smoothly, securely, and efficiently. You’ll join a collaborative team responsible for the deployment, automation, and support of the cloud platforms behind growing SaaS products at the core of a growing and evolving organisation.

This is a role for someone who enjoys both the fast pace of operational work and the structure of long-term infrastructure projects - all while working with modern tools in a supportive, people-focused environment.

Every day will bring something different. You’ll spend time building and automating infrastructure in Microsoft Azure using Terraform and Azure Dev Ops. You’ll also support existing environments, solving technical issues quickly and effectively to keep our platforms reliable for users.

Your work won’t just be about reacting to problems - you'll also contribute to improving how they deploy, monitor, and manage infrastructure through smart automation and tooling. Collaboration is at the heart of the role, and you’ll work closely with engineers, developers, support teams, and external partners.

• Strong broad knowledge of Azure, confident working across cloud environments and system administration
• Must have a good understanding of Terraform / Ansible / simialr IaC offering
• Confidence with offerings such as Azure Dev Ops / App Service and Git, and be comfortable managing both Windows and ideally Linux
• Strong communication skills are essential, as you'll be working with a variety of teams and helping to keep multiple systems running smoothly and securely
• If you also have experience with Power Shell or Bash, or know your way around Azure SQL or some ITSM/service desk platforms, that’s a bonus

This is a great opportunity to be part of a tech-forward, growing organisation that genuinely values its people. If you’re passionate about cloud infrastructure, automation, and solving real-world problems — and want to grow in a supportive an technologically evolving environment — this could be the perfect next step in your career.
