Platform Engineer - #2195047

Azure Platform Engineer – Azure & Microsoft Fabric

£63,000–£72,000 | Birmingham – up to two days in the office | Permanent | 35-hour week

If you’ve got a strong Azure background and some exposure to Microsoft Fabric, this could be a chance to take more ownership of both.

We’re recruiting for an organisation expanding its platform engineering team and bringing more of its Azure and Fabric capability in-house. The environment is already established, with third-party support. You’ll help take it forward, improving how it’s provisioned, governed and maintained as usage grows.

The role

You’ll work hands-on with Azure environments, improving security, access, monitoring, cost management and environment standards. You’ll also use automation and deployment tooling to make provisioning and ongoing management more consistent.

Within Fabric, you’ll help set up and manage workspaces, configure access and extend governance controls across the environment. The foundations are already there, so you’ll have something to build on.

You’ll sit within a growing platform engineering team, separate from the CloudOps team responsible for day-to-day operations, working closely with Architecture, Security, DevOps and Data teams.

What we’re looking for

• Solid hands-on Azure engineering or administration experience.
• Experience with permissions, governance, monitoring and reliable cloud environments.
• Some practical exposure to setting up or administering Microsoft Fabric.
• An understanding of how to control access and govern Fabric workspaces.
• Experience with automation, Infrastructure as Code or deployment tooling.

You don’t need to be a Fabric specialist. Your involvement may have been a small part of a wider Azure role. If you’ve helped provision workspaces and understand the controls needed around them, it’s worth a conversation even if you haven’t implemented all those controls yourself.

You could currently be an Azure Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Platform Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer or Azure Administrator.

What’s on offer

Ownership of an expanding platform, the chance to shape its standards and an opportunity to develop your Fabric experience alongside your Azure skills.

The package includes a 35-hour week, hybrid working and an additional 3% of basic salary following successful completion of probation.
