My client, a leading hedge fund, is seeking a Director of Platform Engineering to join their London team.
The successful individual will be responsible for designing, building, and operating their Azure platform from the ground up, including landing zones, identity, networking, governance, and hybrid connectivity.
You will work directly with the CTO and the internal infrastructure team to define how cloud is used across the firm, establishing practical platform standards and reusable patterns. This is a rare opportunity to build and shape a modern, scalable cloud platform in a financial environment while supporting engineering and data-science teams moving critical workloads onto the platform.
You should have strong hands-on experience designing and running Azure infrastructure at scale, with deep expertise in identity and access management, hybrid networking, and infrastructure as code. You'll need a strong security mindset, practical experience with cloud governance and compliance automation, and the ability to document standards clearly and help teams adopt them effectively.
