About the Role

You will be a member of a new Azure squad, building an enterprise Azure platform as reusable, versioned products: landing zones, Terraform modules, policy baselines, standard images and CI/CD pipelines, all consumed through a self-service developer portal. As a senior engineer you will own significant components end to end and help set the squad's standards from day one.

Responsibilities

• Platform engineering: Design and build Azure landing zone components — subscription vending, networking, identity integration, policy baselines and guardrails — as reusable Terraform modules.
• Component ownership: Own significant platform products end-to-end: design, build, test, documentation and release management.

• Standard images: Build and maintain pipelines for hardened compute standard images (build, test, publication).
• Self-service products: Package platform capabilities for consumption as self-service golden paths through the Port.io developer portal catalogue.
• Engineering standards: Help establish squad conventions — code review discipline, module structure, testing standards and documentation — and uphold them through peer review.
• Mentoring: Support and coach the squad's mid-level engineers; contribute to design discussions with the Engineering Lead and Platform Architect.

Required Skills
