Job Description
We're looking for an experienced Infrastructure Engineer with a broad technical background and particularly strong experience across Microsoft Azure and cloud infrastructure.
/n
This isn't a pure Cloud, DevOps or Platform Engineering position. We're looking for someone who is comfortable working across a wider infrastructure environment but has the depth of Azure knowledge to become the go-to person within the team.
/n
You'll take ownership of the Azure estate while getting involved in everything from Microsoft 365 and Entra ID through to migrations, integrations, automation, virtualisation and wider infrastructure projects.
/n
A major part of the role will be supporting the integration of newly acquired businesses, including cloud and tenant-to-tenant migrations, so it's an interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys project work and solving the challenges that come with bringing different technology environments together.
/n
/n
What you'll be doing
/n
/n
- Take technical ownership of the Azure environment and become the team's go-to person for Azure infrastructure and best practice
/n
- Lead and support cloud and tenant-to-tenant migrations, particularly as newly acquired businesses are integrated
/n
- Manage and support Azure infrastructure including virtual machines, networking, storage, backup and monitoring
/n
- Work across Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID, including identity, RBAC, MFA and Conditional Access
/n
- Build and support integrations between Azure, Microsoft 365 and third-party SaaS platforms
/n
- Automate user provisioning, joiner/mover/leaver processes and other repetitive infrastructure tasks
/n
- Use PowerShell and other automation tools to improve efficiency and reduce manual administration
/n
- Deploy and manage virtual machines and services within a private/hybrid cloud environment
/n
- Work across the wider infrastructure estate alongside other members of the team
/n
- Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and act as a technical escalation point
/n
- Work closely with security and networking teams to ensure the environment remains secure, resilient and well governed
/n
- Identify opportunities to use automation and emerging AI tooling to improve infrastructure operations
/n
/n
/n
What we're looking for
/n
We're not necessarily looking for someone who has spent their entire career specialising in Azure.
/n
You may have started out in traditional infrastructure, systems or Microsoft engineering and developed increasingly strong Azure and Microsoft cloud expertise as environments have moved towards cloud and hybrid infrastructure.
/n
You'll ideally bring:
/n
/n
- Strong, hands-on Microsoft Azure experience
/n
- A broad background in infrastructure or systems engineering
/n
- Good experience across Microsoft 365 and Entra ID
/n
- Experience delivering cloud migrations, tenant migrations or infrastructure transformation projects
/n
- Strong knowledge of identity and access management
/n
- Good PowerShell scripting and automation skills
/n
- Experience integrating SaaS applications through SSO, provisioning, APIs or connectors
/n
- Experience working with virtualised and/or hybrid infrastructure
/n
- Strong troubleshooting skills across a wider infrastructure environment
/n
- The confidence to take ownership of technical problems and make recommendations
/n
- The communication skills to work effectively with both technical teams and the wider business
/n
/n
Experience with Microsoft Graph API, HPE GreenLake, acquisition/integration projects or AI tooling would be particularly useful, but isn't essential.
/n
/n
Why consider it?
/n
This is a role with genuine technical ownership rather than simply maintaining an existing environment.
/n
You'll have the opportunity to become the team's Azure subject matter expert, while retaining the variety that comes from working across a broad infrastructure estate.
/n
With continued integration and transformation work ahead, there will be plenty to get involved in across Azure, Microsoft 365, identity, migrations, automation and infrastructure improvement.
