Azure Site Reliability Engineer

Location: Glasgow / Knutsford (Hybrid- 2 days a week in office)
Team: 6 UK / 5 India
Environment: Part of a wider multi‑cloud engineering organisation (Azure, AWS, GCP)
Growth: Significant technical development opportunities across cloud engineering, automation, and platform build
We are looking for a hands‑on Azure SRE who can design, build, and automate enterprise‑grade Azure Landing Zones and cloud governance frameworks. This is not an application development role - it is a platform engineering role focused on controls, policies, guardrails, IaC, and DevOps automation.
You will work as part of a global SRE function, collaborating with engineers in the UK and India to deliver secure, scalable, policy‑driven Azure environments.
Azure Landing Zone engineering - build, enhance, and automate enterprise landing zones
Azure governance & controls - develop Azure Policies, RBAC, blueprints, and compliance guardrails
Infrastructure as Code delivery - author and maintain IaC using Bicep or Terraform
DevOps engineering - implement CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and automated deployments
Cloud platform reliability - ensure availability, performance, and operational excellence
Cross‑team collaboration - work with multi‑cloud engineering teams to drive standards and best practices
Azure expertise across policies, governance, networking, compute, identity, and platform services
IaC development using Bicep or Terraform (must be able to write code, not just run templates)
CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
Git repositories - strong understanding of branching, PRs, code reviews
DevOps mindset - automation‑first, iterative delivery, shift‑left engineering
Strong scripting or development capability (PowerShell, Python, or similar)
Experience working in distributed teams (UK + offshore)
