We’re working with a long-standing favourite, a major financial services firm (circa 700 employees) with a Global Enterprise Azure estate. Our client is expanding to the USA banking business (ironically based out of the UK) and needs a Lead Azure Platform / DevOps Engineer to be the technical lead and authority on their global Azure estate. As a global leader in international financial services, they have built a strong reputation over the past 40 years and are now expanding further into the FinTech space.

Non-negotiables:

  • Azure, very strong platform knowledge required
  • Terraform, ARM or Bicep (any of these will be ok, but Terraform is the primary one our client uses)
  • Azure DevOps, TeamCity or Octopus (any of these will be ok, but Azure DevOps is the primary one our client uses)
  • Kubernetes (AKS)


Essentially, you will be navigating the complete build and working with the stakeholders to get this Azure platform built.

Desirable

  • Ansible
  • Azure monitoring, including app insights
  • Kubernetes
  • Bash
  • PowerShell
  • Linux


This is a very senior role where the buck stops with you to manage the infrastructure and platform. Please only apply if you have a wealth of experience in this space.

Tech stack you will be working with:

  • Azure Cloud - a complex global Azure ecosystem
  • CI/CD - Azure DevOps
  • Terraform
  • Containerisation
  • Ansible
  • Kubernetes – more and more will be happening here
  • C#. NET for their core applications
  • GitHub


What we're looking for:

  • Collaborate with a wide variety of stakeholders inside and outside of the IT divisions
  • Able to mentor junior engineers
  • Comfortable navigating regulated environments and structured delivery setups


Get in touch if you’re ready to make a sharp, immediate impact.
