The Role
This is a hands-on technical leadership position within a growing global insurance business, focused on designing, building, and delivering enterprise-scale solutions on Microsoft Azure. You'll be designing and building integrations, shaping engineering standards, and mentoring the engineers around you. If you want a role where you're genuinely close to the technical delivery rather than managing from a distance, this is it.
Please note: This is not a pure DevOps role. We are seeking a hands-on Azure Technical Lead or Senior Engineer with strong experience across.NET, Azure PaaS services, integrations, APIs, and solution design. Whilst experience with CI/CD and DevOps practices is important, the primary focus is on delivering business solutions using Azure application and integration services.
