Azure Platform Engineer

What you’ll do

Work alongside experienced engineers and architects to design, build and improve Azure platform foundations (landing zones, connectivity, identity, governance). Deliver infrastructure changes using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform and/or Bicep) and contribute to code reviews, testing and quality standards. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Azure Dev Ops and Git), supporting repeatable, reliable deployments. Support platform operations: troubleshoot connectivity, identity and access, compute and storage issues;

assist with patching, upgrades and incident resolution. Help implement Azure networking features such as VNets/subnets, routing, DNS, Private Endpoints, NSGs, firewalls and connectivity to on-premises (VPN/Express Route). Contribute to Azure IaaS and PaaS engineering: VMs, storage, Key Vault, monitoring, App Services, Functions and other common services used in client platforms. Assist with Azure migrations and modernisation activities (assessment, readiness, landing zone preparation, cutover support), working with tooling such as Azure Migrate where appropriate.

Produce clear documentation and runbooks, and communicate progress and risks to the team and client stakeholders.

Foundational understanding of infrastructure concepts (networking, DNS, routing, load balancing, certificates, OS fundamentals) and how these apply in Azure. Hands‑on experience (commercial, internship, apprenticeship or personal projects) with Azure services across IaaS and/or PaaS. Working knowledge of Dev Ops practices:
Git, branching, pull requests, automated deployments and basic CI/CD concepts. Some exposure to Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform and/or Bicep) and a desire to develop strong engineering discipline beyond just writing templates (debugging, testing, operational readiness). Scripting skills in one or more of Power Shell, Bash or Python to automate repeatable tasks and support troubleshooting. A practical, customer‑focused mindset and the ability to learn quickly in complex environments.

Clear communication: able to explain technical issues and trade‑offs to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
