Job Title: Cloud Engineer / Azure Devops Engineer

Location: Remote Working

Salary: £45,000 – £65,000 plus our great benefits package

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

Born in the Cloud and raised in Manchester, UK since 2010, we are a Cloud first, digital transformation partner for Public Sector and Enterprise clients across the UK. We started with a dev squad cutting code and providing web enabled applications and other bleeding edge stuff. Partnering with Microsoft early on in their Azure development, we were one of the first Microsoft Gold Cloud Partners – and we still are today.

Why are we different?

Yeah, we know. there’s lots of consultancies out there. There’s also plenty more Microsoft partners to choose from. However, we know that we’re different (in a good way) we don’t stick to the consultancy “norm” – we’re techies at heart that want to inspire change. We are not sales led. Our consultants build and maintain the customer relationship and a salesperson won’t stand in the way of pragmatism, agility, or plain common-sense solutions to technical challenges, where a change or flex of scope is going to provide maximum business value for the client. Our delivery teams aren’t accompanied by a contracts lawyer either, looking for CCNs. Our graduates aren’t pushed onto a client with zero experience and instructed to take a cookie cutter approach. Our consultants come from an operational background with real-world experience at the highest level, in both public sector and global enterprise allowing them to empathise with those at the sharp end today – and not just at CxO level, on a technical level too. Ultimately, we’re aiming to be the technology partner we didn’t have when we were client side. A proper partner that understands the whole organisation and starts by listening. Pretty radical.

What will I be doing?

We expect our candidates to have a keen interest in technology and be continually looking to learn and explore new ways of using that technology for our customers.

Working within our Delivery or Managed Services teams, you will form an essential hands-on part of any delivery service to our notable large and medium-sized enterprise clients.

• Tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Experience of Azure DevOps a bonus
• For M365 – MD-100 / MD-101, MS-100 / MS-101
• Microsoft Certification – AZ-900, AZ-104, AZ-303 / AZ-304

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer that has experience within developing cloud-based data solutions.
