Azure Cloud Engineer

An opportunity has arisen to recruit an Azure Cloud Engineer to join our IT team from our Leeds office, who will be responsible for leading the design, implementation, and ongoing operation of the organisation’s Microsoft Azure environment, with a strong emphasis on cloud governance, landing zone architecture, and operational excellence.

This role is primarily focused on establishing and maturing a secure, scalable, and well-governed Azure platform, including the design and implementation of a cloud landing zone aligned with best practices. The role will also play a key part in integrating acquired businesses into the Azure tenant, and in migrating workloads from on-premises VMware environments to Azure. In addition to core infrastructure responsibilities, the role includes a DevOps enablement dimension, supporting the adoption of modern deployment practices (CI/CD), infrastructure automation, and collaboration with a small internal development team.

Operating within a small central team, the successful candidate will provide senior technical support and escalation expertise for complex cloud and infrastructure issues, whilst also managing small projects and driving continuous improvement across the IT estate.
