Azure Cloud Engineer (Contract)
Contract Length: 6 months
Day Rate: 600/day (Inside IR35)
Location: Hybrid (3 days on site – London)
We’re looking for a strong Azure Cloud Engineer to support a busy platform and cloud engineering function while a longer-term permanent hire process is underway. This is a hands-on engineering role suited to someone who can deliver at pace, work across cloud infrastructure and security, and contribute to technical direction without needing to operate as a full-time architect.
The environment is highly regulated, so experience within insurance, financial services, legal, or professional services environments is strongly preferred.
The Role
You’ll join a Platform team responsible for delivering secure, scalable Azure cloud solutions across a modern enterprise estate. The role will focus primarily on engineering and delivery, with some involvement in solution design and technical decision-making where required.
Working closely with platform engineers, security, and architecture teams, you’ll help build, improve, and support Azure infrastructure and cloud-native services using Infrastructure as Code and modern DevOps tooling.
This role would suit a competent senior-level cloud engineer who is comfortable “churning through” delivery work while also contributing to technical improvements and best practice.
Key Responsibilities
- Engineer and support Azure cloud infrastructure and services across PaaS, IaaS, and container-based environments
- Deliver Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
- Support cloud networking, connectivity, and security implementations within Azure
- Work with Azure DevOps pipelines and repositories to support CI/CD delivery
- Collaborate with platform, security, and architecture teams to implement secure and scalable solutions
Required Experience
- Strong hands-on Azure cloud engineering experience
- Experience working in highly regulated environments such as insurance, finance, legal, or professional services
- Strong Terraform experience
- Experience with containerisation technologies (Docker/Kubernetes/AKS)
- Good understanding of Azure networking and cloud security principles
- Experience working with Azure DevOps and CI/CD pipelines
- Strong understanding of Azure infrastructure including PaaS and IaaS services
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced delivery environment
- Comfortable collaborating with architects and senior stakeholders
Nice to Have
- Experience contributing to architecture or solution design
- Azure certifications (AZ-305 / AZ-400 etc.)
- Experience with scripting (PowerShell/Bash)
- Experience supporting cloud transformation or migration programmes
