Role Purpose
To provide hands-on Azure platform engineering expertise to accelerate the delivery of their cloud initiative (Telco-as-a-Service on Azure) platform capabilities. The role will be embedded within the company’s engineering teams to co-deliver reusable, production-ready platform components, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD automation, observability, resilience, and FinOps practices aligned to the client's backlog and sprint cadence. The role will support secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud services while enabling knowledge transfer and coaching so internal engineers can increasingly develop, operate, and evolve the platform independently. Architectural ownership, design authority, programme governance, and delivery management remain with the company under separate governance arrangements.
Key Accountabilities and Decision Ownership
- Engineering Support: Provide hands-on engineering support to design, build, and optimise cloud platform capabilities, ensuring delivered components are secure, scalable, resilient, and aligned to corporate engineering standards.
- Infrastructure as Code: Develop and maintain production-ready IaC using Terraform, Terragrunt, and Azure-native tooling, enabling repeatable, automated, and governed cloud provisioning.
- Reusable Templates: Build and refine reusable Azure platform templates and engineering patterns that can be adopted consistently across workloads and environments.
