Cloud Engineer

We are looking for two Cloud Engineers with strong Azure networking skills to join our team for a leading client in the energy and critical infrastructure sector. The ideal candidates are hands-on engineers who can deliver cloud infrastructure and connectivity work to a high standard, automate it with Infrastructure as Code and work independently with minimal guidance.

The successful candidates will join a small, experienced team working on the client’s cloud modernisation programme. The work focuses on cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-datacentre connectivity using SD-WAN, a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) rollout and some backup work with Rubrik.

We are hiring two engineers: one with hands-on SD-WAN / SASE experience (ideally Cato Networks) and one with experience in enterprise backup (ideally Rubrik). The role is remote from Romania, working UK hours with an English-speaking UK team.

Responsibilities:

• Build and configure cloud infrastructure and networking in Microsoft Azure (and AWS where needed), including cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-datacentre connectivity.
• Deliver SD-WAN integration work for a proof of concept and the phases that follow it.
• Support the rollout of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).
• Build automation and deployment patterns using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub or GitLab).
• For one of the two roles: configure and validate Rubrik backups.
• Make sure solutions follow security best practices and the client’s standards for managing changes.
• Work with architects, subject matter experts and product owners, and give clear progress updates.
• Raise risks, issues and dependencies early, and deliver within the agreed scope.
• Write clear technical documentation and hand work over cleanly.

Requirements:

• Solid hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (preferred) or AWS, including cloud networking: VNets / VPCs, routing, VPN / ExpressRoute, NSGs / firewalls and DNS.
• Strong networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, routing, DNS, HTTP/S and network security principles.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and/or configuration management tools (Ansible, Puppet).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, GitHub or GitLab.
• Scripting or programming skills in at least one language (Python, PowerShell, Go or Java).
• Windows and/or Linux administration experience.
• A good understanding of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) concepts.
• Excellent English, with the ability to explain technical topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Self-driven and reliable, comfortable working remotely with a UK-based team.

Nice to have / Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on SD-WAN / SASE experience. Cato Networks is ideal; Zscaler, Prisma SASE, Fortinet or Meraki are also relevant.
• Experience with Rubrik, or with Veeam / Commvault and a willingness to learn Rubrik.
• Azure or AWS certifications.
• ITIL Foundation certification.
• Knowledge of cloud-native architecture patterns.
• Experience in large, complex enterprise organisations, ideally in energy, utilities or other critical infrastructure.

What we offer:

• Fully remote work.
• A flexible benefits budget you can use for a range of expenses.
• Premium private medical insurance.
• Extra days of annual leave.
• Access to certification programmes, with certification costs covered by the company.
• A free Udemy subscription.
• Access to industry conferences.
