Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Azure DevOps Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in designing, provisioning, and managing multi-region Microsoft Azure environments.

The successful candidate will be responsible for building and maintaining highly available, resilient cloud platforms, with a particular focus on disaster recovery, cross-region synchronisation, AKS, and Azure API Management (APIM). You will be expected to work hands-on across the Azure estate, from designing solutions through to provisioning and configuring infrastructure from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and manage multi-region Azure cloud environments to provide high availability, resilience, and disaster recovery capabilities.
• Develop and maintain solutions that ensure appropriate synchronisation and consistency between Azure regions, enabling services to fail over effectively when a primary region becomes unavailable.
• Design and implement disaster recovery and business continuity strategies across Azure regions.
• Provision, configure, and manage Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters from the ground up, including networking, security, scaling, monitoring, and operational configuration.
• Provision and configure Azure API Management (APIM) environments from the ground up, including policies, networking, security, integrations, and regional deployments.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using technologies such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate infrastructure and application deployments across multiple Azure regions.
• Implement Azure networking, identity, security, monitoring, and governance capabilities required to support highly available environments.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operational processes wherever possible.
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, deployment, networking, and availability issues across distributed Azure environments.
• Work closely with development, architecture, security, and operations teams to ensure Azure platforms meet availability, resilience, performance, and security requirements.
• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of cloud engineering standards, automation, deployment processes, and disaster recovery capabilities.
• Participate in disaster recovery testing and validate that workloads can be successfully recovered or failed over to an alternative Azure region.
