Join Our Team as a Cloud Delivery Engineer!
Are you a skilled Cloud Delivery Engineer with a passion for cutting-edge infrastructure and automation? We’re looking for someone with hands-on experience in VMware and Azure cloud environments, who can confidently manage platforms like Microsoft 365 and drive efficiency through Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Your role will also involve day-to-day management of cloud infrastructure, including planning, designing, and developing cloud-based solutions. You will oversee cloud environments in line with company policies and ensure secure, scalable, and efficient deployments. Additionally, you will be responsible for deploying, troubleshooting, and optimising cloud services in line with best practices throughout the development lifecycle.
