Job Description

Senior DevOps Engineer - Azure Cloud

Hybrid (Derby) - £75,000pa to £85,000pa + Highly Competitive Package

We're supporting a national healthcare technology organisation looking for a hands-on Senior DevOps Engineer to join a growing Cloud & Platform Engineering function.

This is a delivery-focused role where you'll work directly on pipelines, automation, containerisation and secure cloud deployments, with real ownership across day-to-day engineering tasks.

This isn't an architectural or purely governance-led position - it's ideal for someone who enjoys building, improving and running modern DevSecOps tooling in an evolving Azure environment.

What you'll be doing:

  • Build, improve and support CI/CD pipelines across Azure DevOps
  • Implement IaC using Terraform/Bicep and contribute to module standardisation
  • Work with Azure container services (Container Apps, ACI, AKS where relevant)
  • Configure and maintain scanning, secrets management, policy enforcement and pipeline controls
  • Build secure network patterns including private endpoints, VNets and hybrid connectivity
  • Contribute to platform hardening, patching, and DevSecOps practices
  • Troubleshoot across identity, networking, containers, and pipeline execution
  • Collaborate closely with cloud engineers and the wider delivery teams

What we're looking for:

  • Strong recent hands-on DevOps engineering experience
  • Solid Azure background (AWS awareness useful but not essential)
  • Practical containerisation experience (Docker, AKS/ACA/ACI)
  • Proven Terraform experience (authoring modules, reusable patterns, IaC pipelines)
  • Confident with CI/CD delivery and pipeline optimisation
  • Understanding of private endpoints, networking fundamentals and cloud-native patterns
  • Someone hungry to grow, learn and evolve into broader responsibilities over time

Why this role:

  • A modernising environment with room to influence engineering standards
  • Azure-first direction (with some AWS expected to retire within 12-18 months)
  • Opportunity to help shape DevSecOps maturity
  • Work closely with a high-calibre contractor team while building permanent capability
  • Owned, impactful work in a national healthcare organisation

If you're a strong, hands-on Azure DevOps Engineer looking for a role with impact, ownership and modern engineering challenges, we'd love to talk.
