Azure Platform Engineer

An established organisation is growing its internal platform engineering team and is looking for an experienced Azure Platform Engineer to help build and scale a large analytics environment used by a wide community of internal users.

You'll join a sizeable, international engineering function made up of platform engineers, DevOps specialists, architects, analysts, and product owners. The culture is collaborative, diverse, and engineering-led, with a strong focus on doing things properly rather than quickly.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a hands-on platform engineering role. You'll be building and improving the environment that enables data and analytics teams to do their work, rather than building models or pipelines yourself.

Responsibilities include:

• Designing scalable, secure, and high-performing platform solutions on Azure, with Databricks as a core component.
• Automating infrastructure provisioning and management using Terraform.
• Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, ideally in Azure DevOps.
• Containerising and deploying services using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Tuning performance of compute, storage, and data pipelines to keep things efficient and cost-effective.
• Working closely with stakeholders to translate their needs into practical platform capabilities.
• Keeping on top of the Azure ecosystem and feeding improvements back into the roadmap.

Do you have experience in Terraform?, Must-haves

• 7+ years in a Platform Engineer, Cloud Engineer, or similar infrastructure-focused role.
• Strong hands-on Azure Cloud experience, including Azure Databricks.
• Solid Infrastructure as Code skills, with Terraform preferred.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, ideally Azure DevOps.
• Working knowledge of containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
• A collaborative, proactive mindset and good communication skills.

Nice-to-haves

• Python scripting experience.
• Microsoft Azure certifications or equivalent.
• Background working on large-scale or regulated platforms.
