New Today

Azure vPlatform Engineer Location: London – Hybrid (1 day per week in office) Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 + Excellent Benefits Overview We are partnering with an industry‑leading organisation undergoing an exciting period of transformation and modernisation. Based in central London, they are seeking a skilled Platform Engineer to help shape, build, and evolve their cloud‑native infrastructure. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative engineering culture where high standards, autonomy, and continuous improvement are genuinely valued. Key Responsibilities • Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure with Azure, with a strong understanding of architectural reasoning—not just implementation. • Develop reliable automation and tooling using Python or Bash, producing code suitable for peer review and long‑term maintainability. • Manage and troubleshoot Linux systems at the OS level, diagnosing issues methodically without reliance on GUIs. • Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi, with a focus on reusable, modular, well‑structured patterns. • Own and optimise cloud networking components including VPCs, subnets, routing, DNS, security groups, and load balancers. • Build meaningful observability using CloudWatch, Grafana, or Prometheus—creating dashboards that surface real issues, not vanity metrics. • Apply strong Git practices within a team environment, including branching strategies, PR reviews, and clean commit hygiene. • Manage IAM (AWS) or Service Principals (Azure) with a least‑privilege mindset baked into every design. • Implement secure secrets management using tools such as AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or Azure Key Vault. About You You’ll thrive in this role if you bring: • Solid experience across core cloud services (Compute, Networking, Storage, IAM, Serverless). • Practical sysadmin knowledge and an understanding of what’s happening beneath cloud abstractions. • A methodical, engineering‑led approach to debugging and problem‑solving. • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, supportive, and fun team environment.
