    Are you a senior technical leader ready to take ownership of a mission-critical SaaS platform? Fusion5 is looking for an experienced Lead Engineer to ensure the performance, availability, and operational resilience of Jemini - our modern cloud-based HR and Payroll solution.

    What You'll Do
    • Own the Jemini platform's technical operations across Azure, SQL Server (SQL MI preferred), and supporting infrastructure.
    • Lead uptime management, performance monitoring, and capacity
    • Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and containerised deployments (Docker/Kubernetes).
    • Act as the primary escalation point for critical incidents and support after-hours resolution and release activities.
    • Administer SQL databases, manage security, implement encryption and compliance best practices, and support high availability configurations and experience with performance tuning.
    • Mentor technical staff, support DevOps maturity, and ensure operational excellence across the stack.
    • Engage with development teams, vendors, and customers to align technology and business outcomes.
    What You'll Bring
    • 10+ years in senior IT roles with a focus on operations and platform engineering.
    • Proven expertise across Microsoft Azure, SQL Server, enterprise networking, and cloud security.
    • Proficiency in automation scripting (PowerShell, Bash).
    • Proven success in CI/CD pipeline engineering and infrastructure as code (Terraform or ARM).
    • Experience in 24x7 SaaS support environments and ISO/IEC 27001-compliant operations.
    • Strong communication and incident leadership skills with a customer-centric mindset.
    Desirable (but not essential)

    • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes (AKS), Prometheus, Grafana, and SQL Profiler.
    • Azure SQL Managed Instance
