The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Azure Platform Engineer to help design, build and operate secure cloud platforms for complex, high-assurance environments. You’ll be working across Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes, automation, networking and DevOps tooling, helping to deliver reliable, scalable and secure platforms that support critical digital services. This is a hands-on engineering role, but one that also requires technical ownership, strong judgement and the ability to work closely with architects, delivery teams, developers and operational stakeholders. You’ll be joining a collaborative technical team focused on building platforms properly - secure by design, automated where possible, supportable in live service and capable of scaling as requirements evolve.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Design, build, administer and maintain Azure infrastructure across services including Azure Kubernetes Service, Virtual Machines, Application Gateways, databases, storage and networking
- Architect and manage hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity, including site-to-site VPNs, BGP routing, Azure Virtual WAN and hub-and-spoke network configurations
- Apply cloud security best practice across Azure environments, including Azure Key Vault, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure RBAC, network segmentation, NSGs and Private Endpoints
- Configure, maintain and optimise Kubernetes environments to support secure, scalable and resilient application deployments
- Design and build CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment quality, speed and consistency
- Support both cloud and on-premise platforms, using automation and Infrastructure as Code to improve reliability, repeatability and maintainability
- Implement monitoring, alerting and observability solutions to track platform health, performance and availability
- Manage source control, repositories and versioning practices to support effective collaboration and code governance
- Drive automation across platform operations, reducing manual intervention and improving service reliability
- Provide technical guidance to development and engineering teams on how to use platform services effectively
- Support improvements around platform security, scalability, maintainability, supportability and performance
- Keep up to date with emerging cloud, platform and DevOps technologies, helping to continuously improve engineering practices
