What you’ll be doing
- Leading the design, deployment and management of Azure-based infrastructure, using a mix of PaaS and IaaS.
- Driving an Infrastructure as Code first approach (Terraform, Bicep… you know the drill).
- Building shared platform services that make developers’ lives easier observability, secure pipelines, vulnerability scanning, and more.
- Embedding a FinOps mindset to keep things efficient and cost‑effective.
- Acting as the go‑to Azure expert, sharing best practices and shaping architectural decisions.
- Coaching and mentoring your team regular 1:1s, career guidance, and a focus on learning and growth.
What you’ll bring
- Deep experience with Azure services and modern DevOps tooling.
- A background in building scalable, secure, and reliable platforms.
- A collaborative mindset you want to work with Software Engineers, not just for them.
- Strong leadership skills: you care about your team’s success as much as your own.
