DevOps Engineer – (Azure)

Location: Durham (Hybrid)

Salary: £63,000 per annum

I’m supporting a fast-growing, tech-led organisation investing heavily in its platform and engineering capability as it scales beyond MVP.

This is an opportunity to join at a key stage of growth, where the focus is on building secure, scalable, and reliable cloud infrastructure, not just maintaining what’s already there.

You’ll be part of a Platform Engineering team with strong technical standards, working across modern cloud-native environments and contributing to how engineering is done across the business.

What you’ll do

• Design and build secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure in Azure
• Deliver infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, ARM, YAML)
• Deploy and manage containerised applications within Kubernetes environments
• Monitor platform performance, availability, and reliability
• Work closely with engineering teams to support delivery through CI/CD and DevOps practices
• Contribute to Agile delivery across Scrum and Kanban environments
• Support the evolution of platform standards and engineering practices

What we’re looking for

• Experience working as a DevOps or Platform Engineer within cloud environments
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure
• Infrastructure-as-Code capability (Terraform ideally)
• Experience working with Kubernetes and containerised environments
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and modern deployment practices
• Ability to work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary engineering team

Nice to have:

• Experience with scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Bicep)
• Exposure to C#/.NET environments
• Understanding of observability, monitoring, and platform reliability
• Awareness of cost optimisation / FinOps practices
• Interest in using AI to improve engineering productivite

This is a role for someone who wants to be part of building and scaling a platform properly, contributing to engineering standards and working within a team that values quality and continuous improvement.
