Senior Azure DevOps Engineer – Contract
3-month contract | Outside IR35 | £500–£550/day | Remote UK
We’re working with a leading organisation undertaking a major Azure platform migration and are looking for a Senior Azure DevOps / Platform Engineer to join on an initial 3-month contract.
The client has recently built a new Azure hub-and-spoke platform centred around AKS, with infrastructure delivered through Terraform and Helm and CI/CD managed through Azure DevOps. The immediate focus is migrating existing services onto the new platform while modernising and decommissioning legacy infrastructure.
The Role
You’ll be hands-on across the Azure estate, helping migrate live services into AKS, rework their deployment pipelines and extend the underlying Infrastructure as Code.
Key areas will include:
- Migrating existing services onto AKS and into new Azure subscriptions
- Moving services and pipelines into a new Azure DevOps project and standardising deployment processes
- Developing and maintaining Terraform modules across multiple environments/regions
- Authoring and maintaining Helm charts for microservices
- Supporting Kubernetes deployments, ingress, workload identity, scaling and troubleshooting
- Working on Azure Front Door, WAF, Firewall, DNS and routing
- Helping migrate internal traffic away from Cloudflare onto Azure-native services
- Safely decommissioning legacy infrastructure and managing dependencies/state
- Optimising Azure services including Cosmos DB and Redis for performance and cost
- Supporting security hardening and vulnerability scanning
- Maintaining healthy CI/CD pipelines and supporting wider platform engineering/BAU activity
- Producing clear runbooks and handover documentation for SRE teams
