• Pipeline Automation Scripting: Develop and maintain automated deployment pipelines using Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, and Shell scripting.
• Production Incident Resolution: Respond urgently to high-criticality production incidents, driving creative troubleshooting to restore services quickly.
• Cloud Network Design: Partner with network teams to design secure, scalable cloud networking topologies, managing WAF, DNS, and load balancing.
• Cost Optimisation Governance: Embed FinOps practices into IaC patterns to optimise cloud spend, scale efficiently, and manage ongoing governance alongside the FinOps Manager.
• Zero Trust Security: Apply secure-by-design principles and policy-as-code to enforce cyber security and privacy standards across deployments.
• System Reliability Assurance: Implement automated backup, recovery, and performance monitoring solutions to ensure continuous service availability and disaster recovery compliance.

Now let’s talk about you:

• Azure Engineering Background: Hold 5+ years of experience as an Azure Cloud Engineer alongside strong Windows and Linux administration skills.
• Relevant Tertiary Qualification: Possess a tertiary degree in IT, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field.
• IaC Tooling Mastery: Demonstrate expert-level Infrastructure as Code skills using Terraform, Azure DevOps, and GitHub.
• Cloud Architecture Delivery: Proven track record of designing, deploying, and managing Azure IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments.
• Core Azure Expertise: Maintain deep hands-on expertise across core Azure services including compute, networking, firewalls, App Services, Logic Apps, storage, and databases.
• Advanced Networking Knowledge: Show strong understanding of complex cloud network topologies (e.g., hub-and-spoke, hybrid) along with DNS, WAF, and load balancing.
• Incident Troubleshooting Skills: Skilled in executing cloud cost optimisation initiatives and resolving high-criticality production incidents under ambiguity.

Highly regarded (but not essential):

• Google Cloud Exposure: Hands-on exposure to GCP services such as NCC, PSC, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, VPC, and IAM.
• Azure Technical Certifications: Certified as an Azure Administrator, Solutions Architect, or DevOps Engineer.
