Company & role

A growing Microsoft focused cloud consultancy is hiring a Azure Cloud Engineer to support enterprise customers across Azure delivery and operations. The business specialises in helping organisations adopt, build and optimise Azure environments, with a strong focus on modern cloud, security and long term customer success.

This is a hands on engineering role where you will deliver across migrations, modernisation and cloud native projects, while also supporting ongoing managed services.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Exposure to a wide variety of Azure projects rather than being stuck in pure support.
• Strong focus on modern engineering practices including automation, DevSecOps and governance.
• Opportunity to develop into more advanced areas such as architecture, platform engineering and AI services.
• Growing business where you can have real input rather than just being another number.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver, support and optimise Azure environments across core services.
• Work directly with customers to translate requirements into secure Azure solutions.
• Implement and manage Azure landing zones, governance and platform services.
• Automate infrastructure using IaC and support CI CD pipelines.
• Drive improvements across performance, security and cost optimisation.

Ideal Experience

• Strong hands on Azure engineering experience.
• Experience with Azure networking, migrations, monitoring and security.
• Good knowledge of infrastructure as code and automation tools.
• Understanding of Azure governance, identity and security best practices.
• Background in consultancy or managed services environments is beneficial.
• Microsoft certifications such as AZ 104, AZ 305, AZ 400 or security focused certifications are highly desirable.
• Naturally curious and proactive with a genuine interest in Azure, likely the type who builds in a home lab, tests new services and keeps up with the latest Microsoft updates without being asked.
