30 days annual leave + 7 company closure days + bank holidays

We're looking for an experienced Infrastructure Automation Engineer to take ownership of and evolve a large-scale PowerShell automation estate across cloud and on-premises infrastructure. While this role sits within the Identity team, the primary focus is on automation engineering, workflow development, and infrastructure provisioning, rather than day-to-day identity administration.

This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation where you'll modernise automation practices, improve code management and deployment processes, and help shape the future of infrastructure delivery.

The Role

You will:

  • Design and develop infrastructure automation solutions across Azure, VMware, Active Directory, Entra ID and Microsoft 365.
  • Build robust PowerShell automation from the ground up, rather than simply maintaining existing scripts.
  • Improve code management practices through repositories, version control, DevOps pipelines and deployment automation.
  • Enhance an established PowerShell-based provisioning platform responsible for:
  • Azure and VMware deployments
  • DNS configuration
  • IP addressing
  • Infrastructure build automation
  • Develop and improve account creation workflows using Okta Workflows, integrating HR and student systems with Active Directory and Entra ID.
  • Deliver solutions through the full lifecycle, including design, testing, documentation, deployment, operational handover and knowledge transfer.

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience with source control, code repositories and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Good working knowledge of Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID.
  • Experience building automated workflows using:
  • Okta Workflows
  • Power Automate
  • Or similar workflow automation platforms.
  • Broad infrastructure knowledge with experience automating across cloud, server and platform environments.
