My client  is looking for a bright, motivated, Senior Azure Infrastructure Engineer (SAIE) to take ownership of the company Managed Cloud Services customer hosting environment with responsibility for maintaining and improving the service to match the companies ambitious growth plans.

 

Job Title: Infrastructure Engineer (DevOps)

Location: Woking – 3 days per week

Salary: £50k

 

Working in the Cloud Infrastructure Team as part of the Technologies part of the business, and alongside the Product Development and Technical Services Teams, the successful candidate will also be heavily involved in pushing forward the company’s DevOps and pipelining capability, ensuring the smooth and reliable deployment of the company’s software into the Azure environment.

 

You are a bright, ambitious and articulate self-starter, with extensive experience of set up and management of Azure Cloud hosting environments. You are experienced with networking, both within a Cloud hosting environment and for web technology applications in general.

You have some experience with DevOps, with a desire to learn more; you also have experience with Kubernetes, Docker, or other Containerisation technologies — especially in the way in which they are hosted within Azure pods.

You have a passion for all of these technologies, and a desire to constantly improve the area within your remit — and the experience and research capability to match.

 

They are a multi-disciplinary solution provider, with a heritage in building digital solutions on top of its Open Standards-based content management platform.

Since 2004, the company has expanded its platform beyond enterprise content management (which currently features 40+ functional Modules), to include an integration engine, business process automation tool, and engagement platform.

The client provides solutions to the public sector — including Social Housing, Local Government and the NHS — and thus security and Data Protection are key elements of both the application and hosting environment. These range from simple corporate websites, through complex intranets with many thousands of users, to personalised user portals with tight integration with both Cloud and customer-networked solutions.

Our Azure hosting environment — which consists of nginx Web Application Firewalls, Linux VMs, and MySQL database — serves around 400 million hits each month, and successfully repelled 12.6 million malicious attacks in the first half of 2023 — all whilst serving web pages at or below 1s response time.

 

You must have the following skills:

• 3+ years experience in maintenance and improvement of a Microsoft Azure Cloud hosting environment (not AWS), including knowledge of of Azure Virtual Networks and Network Security Groups, as well as external threat management.

• there is some customer interaction required for the role, from time to time, so articulate written and spoken English;

• some knowledge of provisioning software such as Terraform or Ansible would be a definite advantage;

• knowledge of DevOps pipelines and Containers (Kubernetes, Docker) would be a definite advantage;
