Senior DevOps Engineer - Azure - Hybrid

Senior DevOps Engineer - Azure Cloud

Hybrid (Derby) - £75,000pa to £85,000pa + Highly Competitive Package

We're supporting a national healthcare technology organisation looking for a hands‑on Senior DevOps Engineer to join a growing Cloud & Platform Engineering function.

This is a delivery-focused role where you'll work directly on pipelines, automation, containerisation and secure cloud deployments, with real ownership across day‑to‑day engineering tasks.

This isn't an architectural or purely governance-led position - it's ideal for someone who enjoys building, improving and running modern DevSecOps tooling in an evolving Azure environment.

What you'll be doing:

• Build, improve and support CI/CD pipelines across Azure DevOps
• Implement IaC using Terraform/Bicep and contribute to module standardisation
• Work with Azure container services (Container Apps, ACI, AKS where relevant)
• Configure and maintain scanning, secrets management, policy enforcement and pipeline controls
• Build secure network patterns including private endpoints, VNets and hybrid connectivity
• Contribute to platform hardening, patching, and DevSecOps practices
• Troubleshoot across identity, networking, containers, and pipeline execution
• Collaborate closely with cloud engineers and the wider delivery teams

What we're looking for:

• Strong recent hands‑on DevOps engineering experience
• Solid Azure background (AWS awareness useful but not essential)
• Practical containerisation experience (Docker, AKS/ACA/ACI)
• Proven Terraform experience (authoring modules, reusable patterns, IaC pipelines)
• Confident with CI/CD delivery and pipeline optimisation
• Understanding of private endpoints, networking fundamentals and cloud‑native patterns
• Someone hungry to grow, learn and evolve into broader responsibilities over time

Why this role:

• A modernising environment with room to influence engineering standards
• Azure-first direction (with some AWS expected to retire within 12-18 months)
• Opportunity to help shape DevSecOps maturity
• Work closely with a high‑calibre contractor team while building permanent capability
• Owned, impactful work in a national healthcare organisation

If you're a strong, hands‑on Azure DevOps Engineer looking for a role with impact, ownership and modern engineering challenges, we'd love to talk.
