We’re looking for an Azure Pro-Code Engineer to design, build, and run cloud-native applications and integrations on Microsoft Azure. You’ll work where low-code ends and custom engineering begins: building scalable services, APIs, and automation that extend and complement platforms like Power Platform and Dynamics 365, and delivering robust solutions for complex business needs.
You’ll work closely with architects, product owners, low-code developers, and DevOps engineers to turn requirements into secure, maintainable, production-grade software.

- Build custom connectors, plugins, PCF components, and APIs that extend Power Platform and Dynamics 365 solutions
- Implement data solutions using Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, and Azure Data Factory
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
- Provision and manage infrastructure as code with Bicep, ARM templates, or Terraform
- Apply security best practices, including Managed Identities, Key Vault, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), RBAC, and secure‑by‑design principles
- Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting using Application Insights, Azure Monitor, and Log Analytics
- Write unit, integration, and automated tests to ensure code quality and reliability
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, and optimise performance and cost
- Take part in code reviews, design discussions, and agile ceremonies
- Produce technical documentation and share knowledge with the wider team
- Contribute to engineering standards, reusable components, and best practices
Required Skills and Experience

- Strong proficiency in Coding & Scripting: Strong proficiency in PowerShell, Python, or Azure CLI.
- Hands‑on experience with core Azure services (App Service, Functions, Storage, Key Vault, Service Bus, API Management)
- Solid understanding of RESTful API design, authentication/authorisation (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect), and integration patterns
- Experience with CI/CD, Git‑based workflows, and DevOps practices
- Experience with infrastructure as code (Bicep, ARM, or Terraform)
- Good knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases
- Understanding of cloud security, networking fundamentals, and scalability principles
- Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively
- Experience extending Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse) with custom code is a plus
- Experience with Dynamics 365 plugin or custom workflow development
- Familiarity with Azure OpenAI, Azure AI services, or Copilot extensibility
- Experience with microservices, domain‑driven design, or event‑driven architecture
