An Edinburgh-based R&D Tech organisation are going through an exciting period of growth, and are looking for an Azure Engineer to join their growing hybrid team.

Their product line is very impressive and they're working with some globally recognised companies within their industry - they've got really big plans for the next few years ahead.

They are needing a specialist in Azure to help to coach them in improving existing infrastructure with a real focus on best practices. You would be the first cloud specialist in the team so they're expecting you to analyse, provide suggestions on improvements and implement these to optimise functionality and aid scaling. They're ideally looking for someone that has had experience doing this in a prior role. You'll be given a lot of autonomy and responsibility within this role, where you can have a lot of input in technical decisions.

The Azure Engineer will implement more advanced Azure functions and upgrade from their existing infrastructure, so it's a really great opportunity for someone who likes to show initiative and get creative in their role. They are open-ears to any improvements you wish to make so innovation is key here. Some of the main responsibilities include:

  • Looking after and improving their azure function.
  • Applying best practices in security.
  • Implementing advanced azure services including automation with IaC.
  • Assist with cloud architecture and practices to follow.

They're looking for an experienced Azure Engineer with the ability to transform and enhance existing infrastructure, who can really put their own stamp on things. Experience of leading and driving projects forward would be massively beneficial. Other advantageous experience/skills:

  • Azure (at an advanced level).
  • Identity Management and Security.
  • Cloud automation to improve scalability, reliability and efficiency (Terraform, Ansible, Chef etc).
  • The ability to work both collaboratively and independently.
  • Others such as… IoT Hub, SQL Databases, Powershell, Azure IM.

In return, they're able to offer a salary from £50k to £70k + benefits, which include; private health insurance, flexible working and opportunities to develop your skills at a rapidly scaling company.

They are in the process of moving offices to somewhere central in Edinburgh and they do support hybrid working where you'll be expected to pop in a couple times per week, so they are looking for someone local.

If this sounds like something of interest, then please apply below or drop me an email with your CV to arrange an informal chat.

Personal branding is a term you may or may not be familiar with. In our connected world, it pays to be fully prepared for what happens when employees search your name.

Candidates

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln
