SOC 2133 (68% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and GlobalLogic is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals) or SOC 2139 (Information technology professionals not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

About the role
We are looking for a Senior Azure Cloud & DevOps Engineer to lead key platforming initiatives for a global banking client. In this role, you will architect, secure, and automate scalable enterprise Azure environments that meet stringent regulatory and compliance standards.
Your main focus will be Azure Service Enablement—designing and implementing Azure Policies and security guardrails that allow business units to safely adopt and leverage core Azure services at scale.
Requirements
- Deep hands-on experience with Azure, Azure Bicep, Terraform, and hub-and-spoke network design.
- Strong proficiency in Jenkins, GitLab, Python, and PowerShell for end-to-end automation.
- Proven track record architecting scalable cloud platforms within highly regulated financial or banking environments.
- Expertise in writing and enforcing custom Azure Policies and implementing secure cloud platforming solutions.
- Develop reusable, modular Azure Bicep and Terraform templates to automate the deployment of a scalable hub-and-spoke architecture, establishing a standardized foundation across developer environments.
- Architect secure, internet-facing Azure platforms built to comply with strict banking regulations. Implement enterprise Azure Policies to govern service adoption without sacrificing developer velocity.
- Build and optimize robust CI/CD pipelines to automate infrastructure provisioning, networking, certificate lifecycle management, developer onboarding, and zero-downtime blue/green releases.
Our goal is to build an inclusive positive culture where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves, empowering people to create their own high standards and therefore more value. We work together to promote fairness while recognising, valuing and embracing differences – providing a transparent support structure and generous training budget to help our people develop skills to progress their career. Our region supports a hybrid model that can flex across a wide spectrum of working options determined by business, customer and individual needs.
You'll benefit from a comprehensive health and wellness plan, private healthcare (clinical and mental wellbeing), discounted gym memberships, and in office yoga sessions and massages. We offer a fantastic benefits package including a competitive pension scheme and recognition schemes through bonus/reward initiatives. Colleagues are entitled to an annual volunteering day – so you can take time to support a cause close to your heart. We also love to stay social with trips to the zoo, quiz nights, sports events, theatre trips and much more.
We are an equal opportunities employer. It is our policy to promote an environment free from discrimination, harassment and victimisation, and we actively welcome applications from people with a disability or long-term health condition.
