Join a company that is pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We are renowned for our technical excellence and leading innovations, and for making a difference to our clients and society. Our workplace embraces diversity and inclusion – it’s a place where you can grow, belong and thrive.
We are modernising the core platforms that underpin our Managed Services business and building an Azure-first, multicloud platform that can scale across teams, clients and services.

We are looking for a Principal Platform Engineer who has helped design, build, modernise or significantly uplift cloud environments from the ground up, including the standards, guardrails, automation and operational patterns other teams depend on.
This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports, but significant technical influence. You will set technical direction, define reusable patterns, guide engineering teams and create golden paths that allow teams to deliver quickly, safely and consistently.
This role suits someone who stays hands-on, thinks in platforms, and is comfortable being the person teams turn to when the architecture gets complex
Lead the technical architecture of our Azure-first, multi cloud platform.
Design and modernize platform foundations, including landing zones, identity, networking, security, governance, observability, automation and operational controls.
Improve reliability through observability, backup, disaster recovery, resilience patterns and clear RPO/RTO expectations.
Deep knowledge of Azure landing zones, management groups, subscriptions, networking, Entra ID, governance, policy, security, logging, monitoring and operational controls.
Strong understanding of cloud security, identity, secrets management, segmentation, compliance and secure-by-default design.
Experience with observability, reliability engineering, backup, disaster recovery and operational readiness.
Ability to influence architects, engineers, security teams, operations and product teams through strong technical judgement.
Experience with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Bicep, PowerShell, Python, Kubernetes, AKS, container platforms or API gateways.
Experience with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, Datadog, Splunk or similar tooling.
Experience with ServiceNow, ITSM integration, operational readiness, change governance or service transition.
Experience with automation platforms such as Ansible, Azure Automation, ServiceNow Flow Designer, Logic Apps, Rundeck or similar.
Experience building platforms that enable automation, AIOps, self-healing, event-driven remediation or agentic workflows.
You will thrive in this role if you:
You will help shape the platform that engineering and delivery teams rely on every day.
This is an opportunity to set technical direction, build strong cloud platform foundations, create better developer experiences, and make cloud delivery faster, safer and more consistent.
The goal is simple: build an Azure-first, automated, secure, observable and self-service platform that enables modern Managed Services delivery today and future AI-enabled operations tomorrow.
