Senior Azure Cloud Engineer
Public Sector Client | Strategy, Architecture & Innovation | Scotland-based, Hybrid
About the Role
We're working on behalf of a well-established public sector organisation to find a Senior Azure Cloud Engineer to join their Strategy, Architecture & Innovation team. This is a business delivering essential services to communities across Scotland, currently going through a significant cloud-first digital transformation. This is a hands-on engineering role at heart, with room to bring architectural thinking where it's useful. You'll help set up landing zones and subscriptions for major projects, support colleagues after handover, and play a key part in mentoring more junior members of the team as they develop their skills.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and configure secure, scalable Azure landing zones and subscriptions for new and ongoing projects
- Own infrastructure delivery through Infrastructure as Code — no manual changes are made outside of this process
- Apply networking and security best practice across the Azure estate
- Work closely with project teams during setup, then provide ongoing support as needed once delivery is underway
- Mentor and support junior colleagues and graduate placements, sharing knowledge and best practice
- Collaborate with the wider architecture function to keep infrastructure aligned with broader cloud strategy
- Contribute to the team's continuous improvement as we develop our cloud platform
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Need
- Hands-on Azure experience, with a strong networking and security background
- Infrastructure as Code experience is a must — Bicep is our tool of choice, but strong Terraform experience is equally welcome
- DevOps experience, ideally with Azure DevOps and Git-based CI/CD
- Comfort and enthusiasm for mentoring less experienced colleagues
- Some exposure to architectural thinking is helpful, though this is primarily a hands-on engineering role
- No specific industry background required — we welcome applicants from any sector
