Infrastructure Cloud Engineer

At Fora, we're reimagining what the workplace can be.

We create inspiring, design-led spaces that blend hospitality, community, and wellbeing, so people can work productively, creatively, and happily.

From our first London workspace over 20 years ago, we've grown to 60+ locations across the UK, supporting 30,000+ members and partnering with trailblazing brands like Ocado, The British Fashion Council, and Pangaia.

Backed by The Office Group, Blackstone, and Brockton Capital, we're growing fast and pioneering conscious design, sustainable construction, and workspaces that empower people to work in their own unique way.

At Fora, we're not just shaping workplaces, we're shaping the future of work.

As we continue to evolve our technology landscape, we're looking for an Infrastructure Cloud Engineer to help maintain, support and strengthen the Microsoft cloud platforms that underpin our business.

This is a hands-on engineering role that sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, security, networking and modern workplace technologies. You'll work closely with colleagues across Infrastructure, Service Delivery and Project teams to ensure our cloud environment remains secure, resilient and ready to support future growth.

Working across Azure, Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365, you'll contribute to projects, service improvements and operational support that directly impact how technology enables the business.

This role is 4 days in our HQ in London and 1 WFA

As Fora continues to grow, our cloud infrastructure needs to remain secure, scalable and dependable.

This role plays a key part in strengthening the resilience, security and performance of our Microsoft cloud environment, helping ensure colleagues can work effectively and business-critical services operate reliably. Your work will have a direct impact on how technology supports the wider business.

• Support and develop Microsoft Azure infrastructure services that underpin key business operations.

Joining the team means working across a broad Microsoft cloud estate while contributing to projects and improvements that have visible business impact. You'll have the opportunity to deepen your expertise across Azure, security, networking and modern workplace technologies while helping shape the future of our technology environment.

You're a technically curious problem-solver who enjoys building practical solutions and improving how technology supports the business.

You communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and bring a collaborative, pragmatic approach to delivering secure and reliable services. You're motivated by continuous improvement and enjoy working in an environment where you'll have the opportunity to learn, contribute and make a visible impact.
