We are looking for a Senior Azure DevOps Cloud Engineer to join our team. You will own our Azure cloud infrastructure, working closely with our development team on day-to-day projects, deployments, and bug fixes. You will drive reliability and scalability across our environments while playing an active role in our ongoing modernisation journey — helping us migrate from a mixed .NET Framework and .NET Core codebase to a unified .NET Core platform.
Primary Responsibilities
* Own the design, deployment, and management of Azure cloud infrastructure across multiple regions and availability zones
* Work closely with the development team to support backend projects, API deployments, and bug fixes — acting as the bridge between infrastructure and application delivery
* Support and contribute to the ongoing migration from .NET Framework to a unified .NET Core environment, collaborating with developers to ensure infrastructure is aligned with modernisation goals
* Architect and implement CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, including multi-region deployment strategies and environment promotion gates
* Manage Azure Application Gateway deployments including WAF policies, SSL termination, and routing rules
* Design and maintain Azure Cache for Redis for distributed caching and session management, including geo-replication across regions
* Deploy and manage web applications and APIs hosted on IIS within Azure VM environments
* Manage containerised workloads using Docker and AKS or Azure Container Apps, including multi-region cluster management and Helm charts
* Define and enforce cloud security standards including RBAC, Key Vault, WAF policies, and private endpoints
* Implement zone-redundant infrastructure using Azure Availability Zones with cross-region failover and global traffic management via Azure Front Door or Traffic Manager
* Monitor and improve observability across all environments using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics
Required Skills & Experience
* 5+ years in a DevOps or Cloud Engineering role, with at least 2–3 years at a senior level
* Solid experience working alongside development teams on .NET-based applications — comfortable discussing backend architecture, deployment requirements, and bug resolution
* Hands-on experience with both .NET Framework and .NET Core applications, and familiarity with the challenges of migrating between them
* Proven experience with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, including multi-region deployment strategies
* Strong experience with Azure Application Gateway, including WAF v2, SSL offloading, and multi-site routing
* Hands-on experience with Azure Cache for Redis or similar including geo-replication, clustering, and caching design patterns
* Experience designing and operating multi-region, zone-redundant Azure architectures (active-active/active-passive, Front Door, Traffic Manager)
* Strong experience with containerisation — Docker, AKS or Azure Container Apps, and Helm
* Proficient in IIS configuration for enterprise web and API hosting
* Strong scripting skills in PowerShell and/or Azure CLI
* Deep knowledge of Azure networking — VNets, NSGs, private endpoints, peering, and hub-and-spoke topologies
Nice to Have
* Microsoft Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-400, AZ-204, AZ-305)
* Experience with Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instances
* Experience with event-driven architecture using Azure Service Bus or Event Grid
* Exposure to GitHub Ad vanced Security and branch protection strategies
* Experience designing and testing DR and business continuity plans
* Experience in regulated environments (ISO 27001, SOC 2)
What You'll Bring
* A collaborative approach — you enjoy working with the senior development team
* A pragmatic mindset — you balance long-term architecture goals with the day-to-day needs of a shipping product
* Strong communication skills, able to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
* A proactive eye for risk, single points of failure, and opportunities to improve before they become incidents
