What you'll be doing You'll be designing and delivering secure Azure platforms, working closely with engineers and architects to make sure everything is robust, scalable, and built with security in mind from the start. A big part of the role is shaping how the platform is built and improved over time. Designing and managing Azure infrastructure across AKS, compute, storage and networking Building secure connectivity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments Applying and improving cloud security best practices Leading on Kubernetes environments and container deployments Driving CI/CD, automation, and Infrastructure as Code You'll also be involved in improving performance, reliability, and how teams use the platform day to day. What you'll bring This is a senior role, so you'll need to be comfortable taking ownership and making decisions in a complex environment. Strong background in Azure, ideally with AZ-104 and AZ-305 Deep understanding of networking and secure cloud architecture Hands-on Kubernetes experience in production Experience with Terraform or similar tooling Proven ability to build and improve CI/CD pipelines Beyond that, it's about mindset. Someone who takes responsibility, questions things, and enjoys working through challenges rather than avoiding them.
