## About the Role

* Azure expertise: Hands-on experience with Azure IaaS, PaaS and SaaS across compute, networking, security and data. You'll have built Azure Landing Zones with the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and led multi-region migrations from on-prem, covering rehosting, re-platforming and refactoring, not just lift and shift.
 * Infrastructure as Code and automation: Strong Terraform skills, plus scripting in PowerShell, Bash, SQL, KQL and Packer. Experience with Azure DevOps YAML pipelines and CI/CD is essential, including building security and code quality tools into those pipelines.
 * Containers: Experience setting up, automating and supporting Kubernetes and Docker environments, ideally on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
 * Security engineering: Hands-on experience with WAF, security logging, monitoring and alerting, privileged access management, secrets management and vulnerability management. You'll also know security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, open-source and container scanning) and how to apply security controls across data, infrastructure and applications.
 * Resilience and delivery: Experience with business continuity (BCP) and disaster recovery, and with leading complex cloud projects end to end, from requirements through to support. You'll also know Agile methods and operations practices well.
 * The right mindset: A collaborative team player who loves learning, solves problems quickly and analytically, and communicates and presents clearly. You'll also have a strong grasp of information security and cloud security best practice.

## Description

As a Platform/DevOps Engineer, you will be working with a team of great engineers, delivery managers and architects on several topics i.e., Cloud Platform Design, On-prem to Cloud Migration, Automated Deployment, Infrastructure Provisioning, Security Testing and many more.

You will work on different Platform Engineering, Platform Operations and Platform Security projects and collaborate with Product, Architecture and Software Engineering teams to deliver secure products and cloud platforms to support companywide OKRs and initiatives.

You will contribute to BigHand Platform Engineering, Operations and security research and bring new knowledge inside the company

What you'll do

 * Champion DevSecOps: Promote secure ways of working and best practice across your team and the wider business. Build security into every stage of the project lifecycle.
 * Drive our cloud journey: Move on-prem services to a multi-region, highly available Azure platform (PaaS and IaaS). Help build our Azure landing zone and grow our container setup on Azure Kubernetes and Docker.
 * Automate and build reusable tooling: Automate manual build, release and operations work. Extend and secure our Terraform and PowerShell module library, and create reusable templates for the wider engineering team.
 * Keep global platforms healthy: Set up and manage monitoring, enterprise-grade dashboards and usage and uptime reporting, so issues and risks are found and fixed quickly.
 * Own incidents and maintenance: Prioritise incidents to meet SLAs, find root causes and fix them. Take part in planned maintenance during business hours and out of hours.
 * Collaborate and keep improving: Work with developers, architects, platform engineers and IT operations to design and deliver secure, compliant products. Write clear operational and security guides, and keep improving our processes, tools and cloud costs.
