Cloud Platform Lead
Glasgow | Up to £80,000 | Permanent | Hybrid - 3 days on site
Why apply?
This is a build role, not a maintenance one. You'll be the lead cloud engineer for the business, reporting to the Head of Infrastructure & Service, designing the Azure platform from the ground up and helping shape the engineering standards the wider technology function works to. There's no existing cloud team, you'll build the capability and grow a team around you as it scales. If you want to point at a platform in two years and say you built it, this is that job.
What you'll do
- Design and implement the Azure platform - landing zones, reference architectures, hosting and automation
- Help set engineering standards for resilience, security, scalability and performance
- Lead cloud migration and modernisation, including hybrid integration with the legacy on-prem estate
- Drive Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD adoption across the organisation
- Build platforms secure by design, aligned to ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials
- Embed cost visibility and FinOps practice into platform design
- Define runbooks, monitoring and alerting so everything you build is properly supportable
- Work alongside infrastructure, workplace, security and data teams to remove friction and enable delivery
