Azure Cloud Engineer

About the Client

Our client is a multinational organisation planning to accelerate their cloud adoption and modernise their infrastructure. They value secure, scalable and cost-efficient cloud solutions, and are looking for a partner who can design, deliver and support a robust cloud environment to meet both current and future needs.

What You’ll Be Doing — Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate the client’s existing IT infrastructure and cloud maturity, identifying potential cloud-use cases and recommending migration or modernisation strategies.
  

• Architect, design, and implement cloud solutions — including IaaS, PaaS, data/analytics platforms — across public, hybrid or multi-cloud environments.
  

• Lead cloud-migration and transformation projects: from planning and design to execution and delivery for production environments.
  

• Develop and apply modern delivery practices (CI/CD, automation, Infrastructure-as-Code) to enable efficient, repeatable deployments and cloud-native operations.
  

• Collaborate closely with stakeholders across both the client’s teams and internal consulting teams — including business stakeholders, technical leads, operations and security.
  

• Provide architectural oversight: define cloud-architecture standards, ensure security, cost-efficiency, performance and compliance considerations are addressed.
  

• Prepare business-cases, cost analyses (TCO/ROI), and link cloud strategy to tangible business benefits for the client.
  

• Present solutions and results to senior leadership and business stakeholders, translating technical concepts into business value.
  

• Mentor and guide project teams when required — helping embed cloud-native practices and build internal capability.
  

What We Are Looking For — Skills & Experience

Technical / Cloud Architecture & Delivery

• You have at least 4+ years of hands-on experience delivering cloud solutions for mid- to large-size enterprises (IaaS / PaaS / data & analytics) across major public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP or a mix).
  

• You can assess business requirements and translate them into scalable, secure cloud architectures that balance performance, cost, and operational constraints.
  

• You are proficient with automation / Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g. Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible), scripting languages (e.g. Python, Bash) and familiar with containerisation / orchestration technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes) where applicable.
  

• You understand cloud networking, identity & access management (IAM), security best practices, compliance, and cost-management in cloud environments.
  

Consulting / Stakeholder Management & Soft Skills

• You have a proven track record working in consulting or client-facing roles: able to engage with senior stakeholders, understand business needs, and lead cloud delivery programmes.
  

• Strong communication skills: you can articulate complex technical details into clear business-focused proposals, business cases and executive presentations.
  

• Problem-solving mindset, ability to drive decisions across technical, operational and business domains.
  

• Comfort working in cross-functional teams (business, IT, operations, security), managing change, and driving collaborative delivery under tight timelines.
  

What’s On Offer

• The opportunity to influence and lead a cloud-transformation for a substantial client — shaping architecture, driving strategy and delivering real impact.
  

• A consulting-style engagement with variety: you’ll work across different platforms, use-cases and potentially hybrid / multi-cloud setups.
  

• Ability to contribute both technically (architecture, delivery, automation) and from a business-value perspective (TCO/ROI, stakeholder engagement, change management).
  

• Exposure to senior stakeholders, strategic decision-making, and opportunities to grow into technical leadership or cloud-strategy advisory roles.
