Azure Platform Engineer - Outside IR35

We're hiring for a growing engineering business modernising its core platform on Azure, with AI central to daily delivery. They need a Platform Engineer to run that cloud environment day to day: dependable, properly governed, and set up so engineers and AI agents can ship changes with confidence.

What you'll be doing:

  • Shape the platform architecture: container orchestration, managed database services, the messaging layer.
  • Own the path from commit to production: pipelines, release automation, rollback.
  • Handle network design, identity management and access governance for the platform.
  • Keep the platform observable: tracing, logging, alerting, the works.
  • Bridge cloud and on-premise systems through a phased migration.
  • Set the guardrails for AI-generated infrastructure changes.

What we're looking for:

  • Hands-on, current experience in production Azure (AKS or Container Apps, managed Postgres, Service Bus or Event Hubs).
  • Fluent in Terraform or Bicep for infrastructure as code.
  • Built and run CI/CD pipelines, ideally on Azure DevOps, that hold up under real load.
  • Confident across cloud networking, identity and access governance.
  • Treat observability as core engineering work
  • Comfortable directing AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) as a daily working habit.
  • Bonus: hybrid on-premise exposure, or a SaaS/product engineering background.
