Cloud Engineer required in Glasgow to join a global organisation and help deliver a fully automated, enterprise scale Azure platform.

This is an opportunity to work in a modern, cloud first environment, where automation, orchestration, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) are at the heart of how the platform operates. You'll be part of a technically ambitious team, delivering complex, scalable cloud infrastructure, optimising operations, and helping shape the way the company works in the cloud.

The Company

This is a progressive, global organisation heavily invested in digital transformation, adopting modern tools, practices, and principles to build a fully automated, cloud native platform designed for scale, reliability, and high performance.

You'll join a team that values technical excellence and collaboration, giving you the opportunity to influence platform design, shape operational practices, and help embed cloud first ways of working across the organisation.

The Role

As Cloud Engineer, you'll play a central role in shaping the organisation's cloud platform for the future. You'll manage, automate, and optimise Azure infrastructure using both IaaS (virtual machines, networking, storage) and PaaS (managed services such as databases, app services, and serverless platforms). Using Infrastructure as Code, you'll ensure the environment is fully automated, scalable, secure, and resilient, supporting the business's ongoing digital transformation and long term growth.

You will

** Take ownership of day to day platform operations, including monitoring, incident management, and ticket resolution, while automating repetitive tasks.

** Deploy and maintain infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and efficiency across environments.

** Implement automation and orchestration to optimise operations, reduce manual effort, and increase platform reliability.

** Use monitoring and logging tools to proactively detect and resolve issues, enhancing performance, resilience, and security.

** Contribute to complex cloud operations and transformation initiatives that directly impact business performance.

** Mentor colleagues moving from on premise infrastructure, championing cloud first practices and modern ways of working.

Who We're Looking For

** 4+ years' hands on experience in Azure environments including both IaaS and PaaS

** Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator

** Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code, automation, and orchestration.

** Proficiency with PowerShell, Azure CLI, Bicep, and DevOps pipelines.

** Comfortable mentoring colleagues and influencing technical practices across teams.

Why This Role Is Exciting

** Be part of a major digital transformation, moving legacy infrastructure to a fully automated, cloud native platform.

** Work with Azure IaaS and PaaS, DevOps pipelines, and modern tools to deliver scalable, reliable, and secure cloud services.

** Operate in a fully code driven environment, where automation and orchestration are central to how the platform is designed, deployed, and managed.

** Take on complex, challenging cloud operations and use cutting edge tools to deliver scalable, secure, and high performing services.

** Use AI Ops and intelligent automation to optimise operations, detect issues, and improve performance.

** Mentor colleagues and champion cloud first practices, influencing culture while helping the team adopt modern infrastructure approaches.

The Offer

You'll receive a competitive salary and benefits, with hybrid working (typically three days a week in a modern Glasgow office). This is a chance to work on a business critical, cloud native Azure platform and make a tangible impact within a global organisation invested in technology and innovation.
