Cloud Engineer

Description:

We are seeking a skilled Cloud Engineer with experience in Microsoft Azure to support our cloud transformation and migration initiatives. The role requires hands-on experience with Azure infrastructure, cloud migrations, troubleshooting, and operational administration.

This role requires an engineer who can understand and discuss end-to-end Azure implementations, support migration activities, and work closely with global stakeholders. Clear communication and collaboration skills are essential, as the role involves frequent coordination with cross-functional and international teams.

While the primary focus is Azure, the role also requires basic administrative awareness of Microsoft 365 services, particularly where they integrate with Azure identity, endpoint management, and enterprise cloud governance.

• Conduct assessments of existing infrastructure and recommend optimised Azure architectures.
• Support workload rationalisation strategies including rehosting, re-platforming, or modernisation based on business requirements.
