Job Overview

We are looking for an Azure Cloud Engineer to work closely with agency officers to maintain and support critical cloud platforms and infrastructure hosted on Microsoft Azure Government Commercial Cloud (GCC), including related Windows Server platform services.

This role focuses on ensuring platform scalability and reliability, implementing modern operational practices, and supporting infrastructure modernisation initiatives — while maintaining robust support for existing agency systems. The engineer will work closely with various stakeholders to ensure the stability and efficiency of essential government IT infrastructure and cloud-hosted workloads.

Responsibilities

• Maintain critical infrastructure platforms, including compute, storage, virtualisation, and supporting systems such as Azure GCC landing-zone resources and Windows Server platform services, across development, staging, and production environments.
• Follow and implement platform standards, executing infrastructure automation and modern operational practices, including Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform and Ansible, to adopt cloud automation.
• Support platform enhancement initiatives and the implementation of new infrastructure solutions, ensuring alignment with government enterprise architecture standards and GCC-provided guardrails.
• Manage the Azure GCC cloud platform, including capacity monitoring, performance optimisation, and operating system lifecycle management.
• Implement and maintain robust monitoring and observability solutions across all platform components, using modern tooling (e.g. Dynatrace, ELK stack) and Azure Monitor / Azure-native monitoring tools where applicable.
• Execute platform patching strategies, leveraging automation to maintain security and stability while minimising service disruption, including Windows Server patch baselines and vulnerability remediation tracking.
• Provide L2/L3 technical support for platform-related incidents, conducting problem determination and resolution for cloud infrastructure and Windows platform incidents.
• Support containerisation initiatives and maintain container orchestration platforms for applicable workloads.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices to automate platform provisioning and configuration management, with version control and peer review prior to deployment.
• Maintain backup, disaster recovery (DR), and high-availability solutions for critical platform components, including periodic DR testing and business continuity configurations.

Requirements

Required:

• Diploma/Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Proven experience in a platform, infrastructure, or cloud operations engineering role.
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (Azure GCC or equivalent government/enterprise cloud environment preferred).
• Experience with Windows Server platform administration, including patching and lifecycle management.
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
• Experience with monitoring/observability tooling (e.g. Dynatrace, ELK stack, Azure Monitor).
• Experience providing L2/L3 technical support for infrastructure or platform incidents.
• Experience maintaining backup, DR, and high-availability configurations.

Good to Have:

• Experience with containerisation and container orchestration platforms.
• Familiarity with government enterprise architecture standards and cloud governance frameworks.
• Relevant certification (e.g. Microsoft Azure Administrator/Architect, or equivalent).
• Experience working in a government or regulated environment.
