Azure Platform Lead/Cloud SRE
Azure Platform Lead/Lead Cloud SRE
£75k-£85k | Hybrid, 2 days onsite
We're hiring for an established financially regulated business looking for an experienced Azure professional to take technical ownership of its cloud platform.
This isn't a purely hands-on SRE role. We're looking for someone who combines strong Azure engineering experience with technical leadership, platform ownership and senior stakeholder capability.
You'll play a key role in shaping how the Azure environment develops, setting standards and ensuring the platform is reliable, resilient, secure and cost-effective.
Key areas of responsibility include:
- Azure platform ownership & strategy
- Reliability, resilience & disaster recovery
- Terraform/Infrastructure as Code
- Monitoring & observability
- AKS/Kubernetes
- Cloud governance & cost optimisation
- Technical standards & best practice
- Mentoring and developing engineering capability
Initially, you'll remain close to the technology, getting under the HOOD of the existing Azure environment and identifying opportunities for improvement.
As the environment and wider team mature, the role will evolve towards greater platform leadership, governance and strategic ownership.
This could suit an Azure Platform Lead, Principal Cloud Engineer, Lead SRE, Cloud Operations Lead or Cloud Architect who still enjoys being close to the technology but wants greater ownership and influence.
