You will work closely with the Head of Technology Delivery and the broader engineering team, provisioning and operating their Azure environment, building and maintaining their deployment pipelines, and keeping the platform observable, secure, and cost-efficient.
You will make active use of AI coding assistants to accelerate infrastructure and automation work. While ownership of the security posture, disaster recovery, business continuity, and incident response sits with the Head of Technology Delivery, you will play a central role in implementing and maintaining the controls, backups, and monitoring that underpin these, and in supporting incident resolution when issues arise.
The reliability, performance, and efficiency of the platform depend directly on the quality of the work you do, making this a role of significant technical responsibility. The business is a well-funded business with excellent revenues, yet it has only 20 staff, and the opportunity to grow into a dependable leader is a given. At this stage, the role carries no staff responsibility, but as you grow, the opportunity will no doubt follow to add more members.
Responsibilities:
● Design, deploy, and manage infrastructure on Azure using Bicep and Terraform,
following infrastructure-as-code standards and promoting automation across the
team.
● Build and maintain hosting environments for our .NET applications, including
Azure App Services, Azure SQL, Storage Queues/Tables, and Cosmos DB.
● Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment
across all environments.
● Make effective use of AI coding assistants (e.g. GitHub Copilot) to accelerate the
creation of pipelines, IaC templates, and automation scripts.
● Monitor infrastructure performance, cost, and security across environments,
troubleshooting issues and flagging risks proactively.
● Implement and maintain the security controls, access controls, patching, and
backup routines defined by the Head of Technology Delivery, and support
disaster recovery and business continuity testing.

day-to-day triage and resolution and contributing to post-incident improvements.
● Implement tools for threat detection, vulnerability management, and security
reporting to help mitigate issues and ensure compliance.
● Collaborate with the development team to support application architecture and
deployment best practice, as well as enforcing secure coding standards.
