About the role
Azure Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
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
Role Overview
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.
Key Responsibilities
- 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
Required Skills & Experience
- 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)
