The Role
We're looking for an experienced Contract Senior Azure Platform Engineer to join a high-profile AI & Data programme, working closely with our Lead Architects and reporting into the Solution Director (AI & Data). This is a hands-on role for an Azure platform expert to build, deliver, and evolve an enterprise-scale Azure platform from the ground up.
You will play a central role in designing and engineering greenfield enterprise-grade Azure landing zones, executing seamless hybrid integrations with on-premise legacy estates, and supporting the rollout of Microsoft Fabric and its associated Azure services through an iterative discovery and development approach.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and configure greenfield enterprise-grade Azure landing zones aligned with Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and enterprise best practice.
- Lead discovery, technical design, and the iterative development of the Azure platform, balancing quick wins with long-term platform scalability.
- Build secure, scalable, and resilient cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (e.g., Terraform, Bicep).
- Execute end-to-end integration of the new Azure landing zones with existing on-premise legacy estates and hybrid networking environments.
- Support the implementation, configuration, and adoption of Microsoft Fabric along with its associated Azure data services (e.g., Azure Data Factory, ADLS Gen2, Synapse).
- Collaborate directly with the Solution Director, Lead Architects, and key delivery stakeholders to refine and execute the platform roadmap.
- Conduct technical peer reviews, champion engineering best practices, and mentor mid-level engineers within the delivery team.
Essential Skills & Experience
- Deep expertise as an Azure Platform Expert with extensive hands-on experience engineering enterprise-scale solutions.
- Proven track record of setting up greenfield enterprise-grade Azure Landing Zones from initial architecture through to production delivery.
- Strong experience integrating Azure with on-premise legacy estates and infrastructure (e.g., ExpressRoute, VPN Gateways, hybrid identity, enterprise networking).
- Hands-on experience integrating and supporting Microsoft Fabric and its connected Azure data ecosystem.
- Demonstrated ability to discover technical requirements and develop cloud platforms iteratively within modern agile environments.
- Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Bicep) and modern CI/CD deployment pipelines.
- Strong collaboration, documentation, and communication skills across both technical teams and senior leadership.
