* Partner with Architecture to validate that new solutions follow cloud-native design principles
* Enable development teams through coaching on IaC, CI/CD, and DevSecOps best practices
* Oversee automation efforts and a modernisation roadmap across digital products
Platform Operations & Support

* Drive the resolution of recurring incidents and enforce strong SLI/SLO practices
* Provide oversight across platforms like the Global Data Platform, Single Web Platform, and AI Gateway
* Champion OpenTelemetry, full-stack monitoring, and observability initiatives
* Lead and develop a global team of 10 Cloud Platform Engineers
* Promote a culture of ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence
* Coordinate closely with Architecture, Security, Networking, Identity, API, Data, and App Dev teams to deliver cohesive solutions
What We're Looking For:
* 5+ years designing and running secure, scalable cloud platforms
* Proven experience leading cloud engineering teams in complex, enterprise environments
* Deep expertise in Microsoft Azure, particularly Landing Zones, governance, and automation
* Strong hands-on skills in Terraform, Bicep, ARM, CI/CD, and DevOps tooling
* Solid architectural background and automation-first thinking
* Proficient in high-availability, multi-region setups with robust observability practices
* Strong knowledge of cloud security, identity, and API governance
* Exposure to DR patterns, FinOps, and cloud cost management
* Experience with technologies like Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Sitecore, OpenAI, REST, and GraphQL
* Familiar with Azure services such as AKS, Container Apps, WAF, Traffic Manager, App Service, Centralised Logging, and API Management
* Comfortable working in Agile environments and with platform product ownership
* Relocation assistance: We’re here to help with your move (if applicable).
* Yearly bonus of up to 10% of your salary
* 25 days of paid vacation, plus an extra 6 sick days
* Training and courses, fully covered
* Work from modern, comfortable offices or work from home part-time
