Responsibilities

Design, build and maintain scalable Azure cloud infrastructure (compute, networking, storage, etc.) using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform templates). Ensure the environment is well-architected for reliability, scalability, and security

Develop and manage robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions) to automate deployments of infrastructure and applications. Integrate Terraform deployments smoothly into the delivery pipeline to enable continuous improvement

Leverage AI-driven approaches in investigation and solution planning to speed up delivery, reduce manual effort, and drive more effective implementations

Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging and alerting (Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, etc.) to track health, performance and SLOs/SLAs. Continuously optimise the observability stack for cost efficiency, fast incident detection and resolution

Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for system outages or performance issues. Conduct blameless post-mortems to identify improvements and prevent recurrences. Maintain run-books and on-call processes to ensure rapid recovery

Work closely with engineering, QA, technical leadership and security teams to design solutions, share expertise, and enforce best practices (secure configurations, secret management, networking policies, etc.). Drive infrastructure enhancements, cost optimisations, and reliability improvements independently
