Platform and Cloud Engineer (DevOps & Azure)

Duties and responsibilities

You will own and improve the cloud and platform foundations that support our products and engineering team. That includes Azure architecture and operations, Kubernetes platform support, CI/CD pipeline improvement, infrastructure as code, monitoring and alerting, identity and access configuration, environment reliability, and operational support.

You will also play an important role in strengthening our security and compliance posture, supporting controls aligned with frameworks such as Cyber Essentials, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, and helping ensure our infrastructure and delivery practices are appropriate for a regulated healthtech SaaS business.

As part of a small organisation, the role includes broader technical operations such as infrastructure troubleshooting, Microsoft 365 and Entra administration, networking support, and occasional out-of-hours work for critical issues or planned changes.

Participation in a paid out-of-hours support rota is required once fully onboarded.

Platform, cloud, and infrastructure

• Own and improve our Azure environment architecture, configuration, maintenance, and operational health.
• Support and evolve our cloud platform to improve stability, resilience, observability, security, and cost control.
• Manage and support Kubernetes-based workloads, including deployments, configuration, troubleshooting, scaling, and operational reliability.
• Maintain and improve core infrastructure services, environments, and platform components across development, test, and production.
• Support infrastructure standardisation and simplification to reduce operational overhead and environment drift.
• Help define the practical target-state platform architecture for a small regulated SaaS company.

CI/CD, release engineering, and developer enablement

• Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines to support faster, more reliable releases.
• Work closely with developers to improve deployment automation, environment consistency, rollback capability, and release confidence.
• Support a move from heavy, manual release processes toward more automated, repeatable, and controlled delivery.
• Improve developer experience by reducing platform friction and making environments and deployment paths easier to use and support.
• Support tools and practices such as Argo CD and GitOps-style deployment approaches where appropriate.

Infrastructure as code and automation

• Maintain and extend Terraform-based infrastructure as code.
• Improve automation for environment provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operational support tasks.
• Reduce manual platform work through scripting, standardisation, and repeatable operational patterns.

Security, compliance, and operational controls

• Support a proportionate, risk-based security posture across cloud infrastructure and delivery pipelines.
• Contribute to infrastructure and operational controls aligned to Cyber Essentials, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 expectations.
• Support secure identity and access management across Azure, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365.
• Help improve secrets management, patching, vulnerability management, auditability, backup and recovery, and incident readiness.
• Work with internal stakeholders on security remediation and infrastructure compliance priorities.

Monitoring, support, and operational readiness

• Improve monitoring, logging, alerting, dashboards, and operational visibility across environments and services.
• Support troubleshooting of infrastructure, deployment, networking, and platform issues.
• Assist with server management and environment support, including some out-of-hours support where required.
• Help create runbooks, operational procedures, and support standards to reduce reactive firefighting and improve recovery times.

Identity, networking, and Microsoft platform support

• Support SSO and identity-related platform configuration in Azure / Entra.
• Help resolve networking issues to and from our infrastructure.
• Support administration and management of Entra ID and Microsoft 365 services where needed.
• Provide broader technical operations and IT platform support appropriate to a small company environment.

Why this role matters

This role is central to improving platform stability, reducing delivery risk, strengthening security, and enabling more reliable and frequent releases. It supports the foundations needed for future product growth, interoperability, and data capability.

In the first 12 months, you will improve platform stability, security, and scalability, enabling smoother releases, stronger monitoring, and less friction for engineers.
