Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer (Azure, AWS, Kubernetes)

Job description

We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer to join a large enterprise cloud platform team working in a regulated international environment.

This role is focused on building and supporting secure, scalable, and repeatable infrastructure automation across Microsoft Azure environments. It is a strong fit for someone with deep hands-on experience in Infrastructure as Code, Azure automation, cloud governance, and platform engineering.

This is not a greenfield DevOps role. The main focus is on standardisation, governance, reliability, automation, and operational excellence across enterprise infrastructure.

What you will do

- Design and maintain Infrastructure as Code solutions using Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates, and related automation technologies.

- Build automation workflows for infrastructure deployment, configuration management, and operational support.

- Implement Azure deployment standards, naming conventions, governance controls, and platform best practices.

- Automate provisioning, monitoring, reporting, and operational tasks using PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Azure Logic Apps.

- Build and support infrastructure deployment pipelines in Azure DevOps.

- Maintain source-controlled infrastructure repositories and configuration standards.

- Troubleshoot IaC deployment failures, automation issues, and platform configuration problems.

- Perform root cause analysis and improve deployment reliability.

- Collaborate with Cloud, Security, Infrastructure, Architecture, and Development teams.

- Contribute to cloud platform modernisation and migration initiatives.

- Document automation solutions, deployment procedures, architectural standards, and support processes.

- Analyse operational and deployment metrics to identify further automation opportunities.

Requirements

- 7+ years of experience in infrastructure, cloud engineering, automation, or platform engineering.

- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure.

- Experience designing and deploying cloud infrastructure in enterprise environments.

- Expert-level Infrastructure as Code experience.

- Strong practical experience with:

- Terraform

- Bicep

- Azure ARM templates

- JSON-based deployment frameworks

- Strong scripting skills with PowerShell and Azure CLI.

- Experience with Azure Logic Apps or similar automation workflows.

- Strong knowledge of Azure DevOps pipelines, deployment automation, source control, and release management.

- Experience integrating infrastructure deployment into CI/CD pipelines.

- Strong Git-based development practices.

- Understanding of cloud networking, identity, storage, monitoring, and Azure platform services.

- Experience with cloud governance, infrastructure standards, security, resiliency, and change management.

- Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills.

- Strong written and spoken English.

Nice to have

- Experience with Azure Private Endpoints and Private DNS.

- Azure Policy, Management Groups, and governance frameworks.

- Hybrid cloud experience.

- Microsoft Azure certifications.

- Terraform, DevOps, or automation certifications.

What we value

We are looking for someone who combines strong technical depth with a structured, enterprise-oriented mindset.

You should be comfortable:

- working independently and taking ownership;

- collaborating across multiple technical teams;

- introducing standards and making infrastructure delivery more predictable;

- working in environments where security and governance matter;

- documenting solutions clearly;

- improving manual or inconsistent processes through automation.

If you are strong in Azure, Terraform, infrastructure automation, and enterprise cloud governance, we would be happy to speak with you.
