  • Driving continuous improvement in cloud operations, reporting, and risk management.

  • Postgraduate qualifications or extensive experience in cloud/infrastructure engineering.
  • Strong Azure expertise, including services like AKS, Virtual Machines, App Services, Networking, and Azure Functions.
  • Advanced IaC skills (Terraform, Bicep, ARM) and scripting proficiency (PowerShell, Bash, Python).
  • Proven experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows.
  • Deep understanding of cloud governance, security, and operational best practices.
  • Demonstrated leadership in mentoring teams and setting engineering standards.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills across technical and executive levels.
  • Ability to manage complex projects and vendor relationships effectively.
  • Azure certifications such as Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, or Azure Administrator Associate are highly regarded.

What you'll get in return

  • A strategic leadership role in a high-impact cloud transformation program.
  • Opportunity to shape cloud engineering practices and influence enterprise-wide technology direction.
  • Collaborative and supportive team culture with a focus on innovation and continuous learning.
