Senior Infrastructure Engineer (Azure & Microsoft Cloud)

We're looking for an experienced Infrastructure Engineer with a broad technical background and particularly strong experience across Microsoft Azure and cloud infrastructure.

This isn't a pure Cloud, DevOps or Platform Engineering position. We're looking for someone who is comfortable working across a wider infrastructure environment but has the depth of Azure knowledge to become the go-to person within the team.

You'll take ownership of the Azure estate while getting involved in everything from Microsoft 365 and Entra ID through to migrations, integrations, automation, virtualisation and wider infrastructure projects.

A major part of the role will be supporting the integration of newly acquired businesses, including cloud and tenant-to-tenant migrations, so it's an interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys project work and solving the challenges that come with bringing different technology environments together.

What you'll be doing

Take technical ownership of the Azure environment and become the team's go-to person for Azure infrastructure and best practice

Lead and support cloud and tenant-to-tenant migrations, particularly as newly acquired businesses are integrated

Manage and support Azure infrastructure including virtual machines, networking, storage, backup and monitoring

Work across Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID, including identity, RBAC, MFA and Conditional Access

Build and support integrations between Azure, Microsoft 365 and third-party SaaS platforms

Automate user provisioning, joiner/mover/leaver processes and other repetitive infrastructure tasks

Use PowerShell and other automation tools to improve efficiency and reduce manual administration

Deploy and manage virtual machines and services within a private/hybrid cloud environment

Work across the wider infrastructure estate alongside other members of the team

Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and act as a technical escalation point

Work closely with security and networking teams to ensure the environment remains secure, resilient and well governed

Identify opportunities to use automation and emerging AI tooling to improve infrastructure operations

What we're looking for We're not necessarily looking for someone who has spent their entire career specialising in Azure.

You may have started out in traditional infrastructure, systems or Microsoft engineering and developed increasingly strong Azure and Microsoft cloud expertise as environments have moved towards cloud and hybrid infrastructure.

You'll ideally bring

Strong, hands-on Microsoft Azure experience

A broad background in infrastructure or systems engineering

Good experience across Microsoft 365 and Entra ID

Experience delivering cloud migrations, tenant migrations or infrastructure transformation projects

Strong knowledge of identity and access management

Good PowerShell scripting and automation skills

Experience integrating SaaS applications through SSO, provisioning, APIs or connectors

Experience working with virtualised and/or hybrid infrastructure

Strong troubleshooting skills across a wider infrastructure environment

The confidence to take ownership of technical problems and make recommendations

The communication skills to work effectively with both technical teams and the wider business

Experience with Microsoft Graph API, HPE GreenLake, acquisition/integration projects or AI tooling would be particularly useful, but isn't essential.

Why consider it? This is a role with genuine technical ownership rather than simply maintaining an existing environment.

You'll have the opportunity to become the team's Azure subject matter expert, while retaining the variety that comes from working across a broad infrastructure estate.

With continued integration and transformation work ahead, there will be plenty to get involved in across Azure, Microsoft 365, identity, migrations, automation and infrastructure improvement.
