Role: Senior Azure Platform Engineer Location: Manchester city centre Working Arrangement: Ideally 2 days per week in office but open to once per month in the office if needed Salary: Up to £90k plus benefits Key skills; Azure, AKS/Kubernetes, Terraform, Golang, AI tooling and platform engineering automation You ve spent years building and improving cloud platforms. You know what good infrastructure looks like, how to scale systems properly, and how to create environments that engineers actually enjoy working in. You re probably the person people come to when things get complicated. Whether that s improving Kubernetes environments, designing resilient Azure infrastructure, fixing bottlenecks in CI/CD pipelines, or helping teams adopt better engineering practices, you re the one who figures it out. You re also curious about where engineering is heading next, especially when it comes to AI. That s exactly why this role could be worth your attention. I m working with a technology business that is going all-in on AI across its engineering and platform function. They re investing heavily in AI-assisted tooling, automation, operational intelligence, and developer experience improvements, and they want Platform Engineers who are excited about being part of that journey. You ll be working in an environment where tools like GitHub Copilot, OpenAI models, Claude, Gemini, AI-powered observability platforms, intelligent deployment workflows, and internal AI tooling are actively being explored and introduced to improve how engineering teams work day to day. This isn t about ticking a buzzword box. They genuinely want to build a modern engineering environment where AI helps reduce repetitive work, improve operational visibility, speed up delivery, and make developers more effective. From a technical perspective, this is a senior, hands-on platform engineering role where you ll have a lot of influence over how things are built moving forward. You ll be designing and improving Azure infrastructure, evolving Kubernetes platforms within AKS, building reusable Infrastructure-as-Code patterns using Terraform and Crossplane, and helping improve reliability, observability, and security across the wider platform estate. You ll also spend time improving developer tooling and CI/CD processes, helping engineering teams deploy faster and more safely while reducing friction wherever possible. They re looking for someone who enjoys ownership. Someone who can lead large technical initiatives, mentor other engineers, and help shape engineering standards, while still being close to the technology. Technically, you ll need strong experience with: Azure cloud environments Kubernetes and AKS Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code Golang CI/CD tooling and automation Observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or LGTM stacks Platform reliability, scalability, and security best practices If you ve worked in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure environments where you ve helped modernise systems and improve engineering practices at scale, you ll likely fit in very well here. There s also plenty of room for progression. The platform function is continuing to grow, so this role has a clear path towards future Staff or Principal-level opportunities over time. On top of the salary, there s a strong benefits package including enhanced annual leave, personal training budgets, enhanced pension contributions, hybrid working, company-paid sick leave, enhanced family policies, and additional flexibility around holidays and working arrangements. If you re looking for a role where you can work with modern cloud technology, influence technical direction, and help shape how AI is integrated into platform engineering, this could be a very good fit for you. We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
