## About the Role

* Substantial production experience engineering Microsoft Azure: compute (including VMs and AKS), networking, storage, platform services and governance.
 * Strong knowledge of Azure landing zones and the Cloud Adoption Framework, with the judgement to set standards.
 * Hands-on Terraform, written from scratch and delivered through CI/CD pipelines, plus strong PowerShell.
 * Deep Azure networking skills, plus experience with public DNS and edge security (ideally Cloudflare, or the appetite to learn).
 * Backup and DR design and testing (eg Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery), and patch and vulnerability management.
 * A solid grasp of cloud security and Azure identity: Defender for Cloud, Entra ID, managed identities, RBAC and privileged access.
 * Strong problem-solving, communication and stakeholder management skills.

Desirable

 * Experience supporting Azure data services (Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL, Synapse).
 * Using AI coding assistants for Terraform and automation.
 * Experience working with managed-service providers and suppliers.
 * Familiarity with SharePoint and Power Platform administration.
 * Certifications such as AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-700, AZ-500 or HashiCorp Terraform Associate.

## Description

* Design and engineer new services on Azure (landing zones, governance and policy, containers and AKS, and platform services), delivered as code in Terraform using AI-assisted engineering.
 * Take existing infrastructure into code, building automated, repeatable environments through CI/CD pipelines.
 * Own Azure networking and connectivity: hub-and-spoke, private endpoints and DNS, Firewalling, segmentation and hybrid connectivity.
 * Grow the Cloudflare edge from global DNS into WAF, Tunnel, Zero Trust access, Workers and AI Gateway.
 * Provide secure hosting and environments for agentic AI platforms, member portals, Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL and ring-fenced AI environments.
 * Design backup and disaster recovery, and run regular, evidenced failover tests with the managed-service provider.
 * Keep the platform secure and cost-effective: patching, vulnerability management, Defender for Cloud, hardened configuration and right-sizing.
 * Set the technical standards the managed-service provider works to, and review its changes and Terraform against them.
 * Advise on new cloud technologies and take part in change management.
