Senior Azure Platform Engineer
Hybrid | Rural North Buckinghamshire

We’ve been retained by a brilliant founder-led tech business to find a Senior Azure Platform Engineer. This is a key role in their internal IT and development function—ideal for someone who thrives on autonomy, responsibility, and smart engineering.

Why this role?
You’ll lead on all things Azure: scaling infrastructure, streamlining deployments, and mentoring others while shaping the platform that underpins their success. This isn’t a huge corporate engine, it’s a business that moves quickly, values input, and encourages innovation.

You’ll be the go-to for infrastructure as code, cloud security, and optimisation, working closely with Dev and Ops to ensure performance, resilience and reliability across the business-critical systems.

What you’ll bring:

• Hands-on expertise with Microsoft Azure and core services

• Strong Terraform knowledge for infrastructure as code

• Solid grasp of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices

• Experience with Docker, AKS and Helm

• Proficiency in scripting (PowerShell, Bash or Python)

• Awareness of monitoring tools across Azure (Log Analytics, App Insights etc.)

• Understanding of cloud networking, identity, and security

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills

Practical bits:

• Hybrid working – typically 2–3 days a week in the office

• Office location is rural, so you’ll need to be a car driver

• You must have the right to work in the UK with no sponsorship required

In return:
This business offers flexible working, a close-knit and friendly team, and a real sense of purpose. Benefits include 24 days’ holiday (+ birthday off), annual bonus, 5% pension contribution, and a clear commitment to development and retention.
