Cloud Native Azure Platform Engineer

Guide engineering teams, promoting platform engineering practices, self-service enablement, and a strong operational mindset (SRE/DevOps). Hands-on Azure architecture experience aligned to the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF), producing pragmatic reference architectures and design decisions. Design, build, and operate enterprise-scale AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) platforms, providing hands-on Kubernetes administration and troubleshooting across clusters and workloads, including upgrades, capacity planning, reliability engineering, incident response, and ingress or service mesh technologies (for example Envoy and ingress controllers). Define and implement Git-driven delivery models (GitOps) for Kubernetes workloads and platform configuration, using tools such as Flux/Argo CD to enable environment separation, promotion, and traceable change control. Support governance and operational controls across Azure estates, including Azure Policy, cost management/FinOps practices, logging/monitoring standards, and secure-by-default configurations. Design cloud native architectures (microservices and containerised workloads) with appropriate Azure networking (hub-and-spoke, VNets, peering, private endpoints) and identity/access using Microsoft Entra ID, suitable for public sector and regulated environments.
