A leading organisation is looking for an experienced Azure DevOps / Architect specialist to take ownership of a platform that standardises and streamlines Microsoft Fabric deployments and releases.

The role will start with solution design, architecture and a review of the existing framework, making sure the platform is fit for purpose and aligned to best practice. As the programme progresses, it will become increasingly hands-on, covering the build, implementation and enhancement of the release platform.

The environment is heavily Azure-focused, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Bicep, Terraform, Entra ID, Microsoft Fabric and wider Azure platform services.
