Job description

We are looking for a hands-on Azure SRE who can design, build, and automate enterprise-grade Azure Landing Zones and cloud governance frameworks. This is not an application development role - it is a platform engineering role focused on controls, policies, guardrails, IaC, and DevOps automation.

You will work as part of a global SRE function, collaborating with engineers in the UK and India to deliver secure, scalable, policy-driven Azure environments.

Key Responsibilities

Azure Landing Zone engineering - build, enhance, and automate enterprise landing zones

Azure governance & controls - develop Azure Policies, RBAC, blueprints, and compliance guardrails

Infrastructure as Code delivery - author and maintain IaC using Bicep or Terraform

DevOps engineering - implement CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and automated deployments

Cloud platform reliability - ensure availability, performance, and operational excellence

Cross-team collaboration - work with multi-cloud engineering teams to drive standards and best practices

Requirements

Azure expertise across policies, governance, networking, compute, identity, and platform services

IaC development using Bicep or Terraform (must be able to write code, not just run templates)

CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions

Git repositories - strong understanding of branching, PRs, code reviews

DevOps mindset - automation-first, iterative delivery, shift-left engineering

Strong scripting or development capability (PowerShell, Python, or similar)

Experience working in distributed teams (UK + offshore)
