Salary: £55,000 - 65,000 per year
Requirements:
- Practical experience with infrastructure as code; Terraform / Terraform Cloud is a must-have.
- Real, hands-on experience running production workloads in a major public cloud environment; this role is Azure / Azure DevOps based, but we are open to candidates from AWS or GCP backgrounds.
- Comfortable working with Git-based version control and CI/CD pipelines, including code review and pull request workflows.
- Able to automate and script using tools such as PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
- A solid grasp of cloud networking and identity concepts, such as virtual networks, private connectivity, DNS, and access control.
- Experience testing your own changes properly and working within a formal change process.
- Able to put together the evidence needed to release safely, such as test results, rollback plans, and handovers.
- Confident contributing ideas into technical designs, not just implementing someone elses, and able to challenge where better options are available.
- Clear written and verbal communicator, especially around progress, risk, and blockers.
- Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools responsibly, understanding their limits and checking their output.
- Exposure to internal developer platforms / self-service tooling.
- Interest in or experience with AI-assisted engineering beyond basic code suggestions.
- Familiarity with configuration management tools and some exposure to monitoring, alerting, or incident response.
- Awareness of security and compliance basics.
- Experience with different cloud hosting models, whether that is managed database services, containers, or orchestration platforms.
Responsibilities:
- Split time between hands-on build work and building good relationships with the teams who depend on the platform, including product engineering, operations, security, and compliance.
- Take on well-defined chunks of platform work and own them end to end, from build through to testing, documentation, and handover.
- Agree what done looks like before starting, including how it will be tested, how it can be rolled back, and what the team needs to know to support it afterwards.
- Write and maintain the pipelines and automation that keep cloud-based SaaS environments running smoothly, using infrastructure-as-code tools, DevOps pipelines, configuration automation, and scripting to cut down on manual effort.
- Build reusable templates, modules, and runbooks rather than one-off fixes.
- Get involved in design conversations and code reviews, learn from more experienced engineers, and share what we pick up with the rest of the team.
- Flag risks, unknowns, and dependencies as early as possible, and come with options rather than just problems.
- Keep documentation current so the next person, including future you, is not left guessing.

More:
We are a growing firm with great projects in the pipeline, offering bonuses, hybrid working, private healthcare, recognition rewards, professional development, ongoing upskilling avenues, and friendly people to work with. The role is hybrid, with around 2 days per week in either our Central Edinburgh or Central Glasgow office, whichever is best for you. You will join a team that is moving towards a proper platform model with shared services, well-defined boundaries, and self-serve tools, giving you the chance to help shape that shift while working on real infrastructure problems alongside experienced people.
