Engineering Lead — Azure / Azure Local
Role Purpose
We are looking for Senior Azure Platform Engineers to join a newly formed Azure squad within a cloud platform engineering service we are delivering for a leading UK financial services organisation.
You will be a founding member of a five-person squad, working in two-week sprints under a UK-based Engineering Lead and alongside an established AWS squad. The team builds the client's Azure platform as a set of reusable, versioned products — landing zones, Terraform modules, policy baselines, standard images and CI/CD pipelines — consumed by engineering teams across the organisation through a self-service internal developer platform. As a senior engineer you will take ownership of significant platform components, set the engineering bar for the squad, and help establish its standards and ways of working from day one.
Key Responsibilities
- Platform engineering: Design and build Azure landing zone components — subscription vending, networking, identity integration, policy baselines and guardrails — as reusable Terraform modules.
- Component ownership: Own significant platform products end-to-end: design, build, test, documentation and release management.
- CI/CD pipelines: Build and maintain GitHub Actions pipelines for infrastructure delivery, with security scanning, policy checks, testing and cost controls embedded as quality gates.
- Azure Local and hybrid: Contribute to the engineering of Azure Local capability and hybrid automation, extending the platform model into the client's private cloud estate.
- Standard images: Build and maintain pipelines for hardened compute standard images (build, test, publication).
- Self-service products: Package platform capabilities for consumption as self-service golden paths through the Port.io developer
