Cloud Engineer

This is the cloud-native, infrastructure-as-code seat on an Azure platform within a large hybrid estate. You will build environments in code rather than by hand, own the pipelines that deploy them, and bring modern platform-engineering practice to an organisation part-way through moving into Azure.

What you get

• Remote working
• A modern toolchain: Terraform or Bicep, Azure DevOps, CI/CD
• A small infrastructure team where you own your area and report into the engineering manager, working under a Head of Infrastructure who values breadth and graft over certificates

The organisation A large not-for-profit part-way through a multi-year technology programme that is moving a substantial estate into Azure. This brief comes directly from the hiring manager rather than a job board, so the detail below reflects what the team actually needs.

What you will be doing

• Building and evolving Azure infrastructure as code, with Terraform or Bicep as the default way of working
• Owning and improving Azure DevOps pipelines so infrastructure gets deployed safely and repeatably
• Bringing a cloud-native, automation-first approach to an estate that has grown up hybrid
• Working alongside a hybrid-migration engineer and the wider infrastructure team, and leaning into the DevOps side where it makes sense

What you will need

• Hands-on Azure platform engineering, where you have built environments rather than just administered them
• Infrastructure as code as a real working skill, Terraform or Bicep, used day to day in a live estate
• Azure DevOps or a comparable CI/CD toolchain, comfortable building and maintaining pipelines
• A cloud-native way of thinking: automate first, code over clicks

Useful, not essential

• Containers (AKS or similar) in production
• Azure governance and policy at scale
• Azure certifications
• Some on-prem infrastructure background, which the team still values
