[Hiring] Senior Cloud Platform Engineer @IAM Cloud

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer to join our small, capable engineering team. This is a senior position within our DevOps function, with the scope to shape how we build, deploy, and operate the platforms that thousands of organisations rely on every day.

• Today, our infrastructure runs on Microsoft Azure, with GitHub Enterprise for source control and CI/CD (migrating to GitHub Actions).
• Bicep + PowerShell for infrastructure as code.
• GitHub Copilot embedded across the engineering workflow.
• Future goals include more containerised workloads, stronger observability, security baked deeper into our pipelines, and a developer experience that allows the rest of engineering to ship safely without waiting on us.

Because we are small, you will have an unusually broad remit:

• Own significant parts of our infrastructure end-to-end.
• Work directly with developers and senior leadership.
• Have a real say in technical direction.

Qualifications

• Several years of senior-level experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred; AWS or GCP experience transfers well).
• Deep, practical experience with infrastructure as code — Bicep, Terraform or similar.
• Solid scripting skills — PowerShell, Bash, Python, or Go.
• Real experience designing and running CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar).
• Experience with a modern observability stack — Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, New Relic, or similar.
• A strong grasp of networking, identity, and security fundamentals in a cloud environment.
• Comfortable working in a small, fully-remote team — clear written communication, good judgement on when to ask, and a bias toward fixing things.

Requirements

• Experience running containerised workloads in production (Kubernetes / AKS, Docker, Helm, or similar).
• DevSecOps experience: container scanning, secret management (e.g. Vault, Key Vault), policy-as-code (OPA), supply-chain security.
• Coding experience/understanding a codebase, building or contributing to internal developer platforms, golden paths, or self-service tooling.
• FinOps awareness — designing for cost as well as for performance.
• Experience with GitOps workflows (Argo CD, Flux), or hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and agentic workflows (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate infrastructure and platform work.
• Microsoft certifications (AZ-104, AZ-400, AZ-305 etc) or equivalent.

Benefits

• Guaranteed £2,000 pay rise every year you're with us, separate from any merit or promotion increases.
• 26 days holiday plus public holidays, with the option to swap public holidays for days that are more meaningful to you.
• Your birthday and work anniversary day off, every year.
• Up to 4 weeks per year working from anywhere in the world.
• Genuinely flexible, fully remote working — we trust you to manage your own time.
• Generous Becoming a Parent leave, designed to support every kind of family.
• Medical scheme including remote GP, dental, optical, and diagnostics.
• Access to Support Room — confidential counselling, therapy, and coaching.
• Help@Hand employee assistance programme.
• 5x salary life insurance through Unum.
• High standard of equipment to do your best work from home.
• Up to 10% pension match.
• Annual learning and development budget.
