We're looking for a hands-on Senior Azure Platform & Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of the Azure environment, working closely with the CTO.

- Manage Azure infrastructure including VMs, networking, backup, recovery and monitoring.
- Improve platform security through hardening, patching, Defender recommendations and monitoring.
- Document architecture, standards, runbooks and disaster recovery processes.
- Support Microsoft 365 and related cloud services where required.
- Communicate progress, priorities and risks clearly to the CTO.
