About the job youre considering

We have an exciting opportunity to join Capgemini as a Cloud Engineer specialising in Azure Local, supporting one of our public sector clients and contributing across our extensive client portfolio.

Were seeking fellow cloud engineers who want to grow their career and delight customers through a hybrid of project and support activities. We take a modern approach of working collaboratively internally and externally to achieve high levels of satisfaction both for our clients and ourselves collectively. We achieve this through focused groups of technical people, known as Pods, coming together to deliver and maintain cloud services to UK clients.

The strength of our pods lies within our people, fostered by a supportive team culture. Our ideal candidate would thrive in such an environment.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your role

As an integral part of Cloud Infrastructure Services delivery unit, youll have fantastic opportunities to develop both yourself and our collective capabilities as you progress both project and foundational requirements with other likeminded engineers. As part of the team, youll be empowered to:

• Applying basic security controls, including access management and RBAC
• Using tools such as Azure Monitor and Log Analytics to monitor system performance and troubleshoot issues
• Participating in incident, change, and problem management processes as part of a wider team
• Contributing to documentation, runbooks, and knowledge sharing within the Pod

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.
