About the Role

Our Technology team is in the midst of an exciting multi-year transformation programme. We are transitioning from traditional on-premise infrastructure to a modern hybrid cloud environment, combining private cloud IaaS with Microsoft Azure, while simultaneously completing a major network refresh that has seen us move from HPE to Fortinet infrastructure and implement a full SD-WAN architecture.

This is far more than a simple cloud migration. The programme involves tackling complex challenges around legacy application compatibility, data sovereignty, security, and regulatory compliance within a highly regulated professional services environment.

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you will play a key role in supporting and evolving our hybrid cloud estate. Working alongside experienced senior engineers, you’ll gain exposure to both cutting-edge Azure technologies and complex legacy environments, contributing directly to one of the firm’s most strategically important technology programmes.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with around two years of infrastructure experience who is looking to accelerate their cloud engineering career within a collaborative, supportive, and forward‑thinking team.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Platform Engineering

  • Support and maintain Azure infrastructure including Virtual Machines, Virtual Networks, and Network Security Groups.
  • Assist with the management of both Azure and private cloud IaaS environments, ensuring consistency across platforms.
  • Contribute to our ongoing cloud migration programme, supporting testing, cutovers, and post‑migration validation activities.
  • Help maintain Azure subscriptions and Landing Zone governance standards.

Infrastructure Transformation & Migration

  • Work alongside infrastructure and application teams to assess legacy systems and their cloud readiness.
  • Support lift‑and‑shift migration activities, gaining exposure to re‑platforming and containerisation technologies.
  • Assist with integrations between cloud and on‑premise systems.
  • Document existing infrastructure and support remediation and decommissioning plans.

Security, Compliance & Governance

  • Ensure solutions align with regulatory and security standards including ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, GDPR, and SRA requirements.
  • Support internal and external audit activities through the provision of documentation and compliance evidence.
  • Contribute to data residency, classification, and governance initiatives.

Monitoring & Operational Support

  • Support monitoring and observability solutions including Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.
  • Assist with incident management, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
  • Support disaster recovery testing and business continuity exercises.
  • Participate in a 24‑hour on‑call rota (approximately one week in every five).

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

  • Work closely with project teams, application support teams, and senior engineers to deliver infrastructure solutions.
  • Maintain technical documentation including runbooks, change records, and architecture diagrams.
  • Contribute ideas and recommendations to improve cloud standards, automation, and operational efficiency.

Your Skills and Qualifications

  • AZ‑104 Azure Administrator certification.
  • Experience with Fortinet technologies.
  • Exposure to AI‑assisted tooling for infrastructure deployment, monitoring, or support.
  • Experience with PowerShell and Bicep.
  • Experience within a legal, financial services, or other regulated environment.
  • Knowledge of VMware vSphere, Hyper‑V, or other private cloud technologies.
  • Experience supporting Microsoft 365 and Intune within an enterprise environment.
  • Working toward AZ‑104 Azure Administrator would be desirable.

Do we sound like a match? If you’re someone who cares deeply, communicates openly and collaborates effectively, then we’d love to have you join our diverse, inclusive team.
