The Role
This is a hands-on technical leadership position within a growing global insurance business, focused on designing, building, and delivering enterprise-scale solutions on Microsoft Azure. You'll be designing and building integrations, shaping engineering standards, and mentoring the engineers around you. If you want a role where you're genuinely close to the technical delivery rather than managing from a distance, this is it.
Please note: This is not a pure DevOps role. We are seeking a hands-on Azure Technical Lead or Senior Engineer with strong experience across .NET, Azure PaaS services, integrations, APIs, and solution design. Whilst experience with CI/CD and DevOps practices is important, the primary focus is on delivering business solutions using Azure application and integration services.
What you'll be doing
- Designing and delivering enterprise-scale Azure solutions and integrations
- Leading development across .NET/C#, APIs, microservices, and Azure PaaS services
- Building integration solutions using Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid, API Management, Azure SQL, and App Services
- Driving engineering excellence through code reviews, technical standards, and best practices
- Supporting CI/CD delivery and DevOps practices across development teams
- Mentoring engineers and providing technical leadership across projects
- Collaborating with architects, product owners, delivery teams, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable, secure, and resilient solutions
What You'll Bring
- Experience operating as a Senior Engineer or Technical Lead within Microsoft Azure environments
- Experience collaborating with and providing technical guidance to external suppliers and delivery partners
- Strong hands-on expertise across Azure PaaS services and cloud-native solution design
- Deep .NET/C# development experience with APIs, microservices, and integration architectures
- Experience delivering event-driven and messaging-based solutions using Azure integration technologies
- Good understanding of Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and modern engineering practices
- Exposure to Docker, Kubernetes, or AKS would be advantageous
- Familiarity with Azure AI services, Microsoft Copilot, AI Agents, or Power Platform integration would be beneficial
Why Apply?
You'll be joining an organisation investing heavily in cloud-native platforms, integration capabilities, and AI-enabled solutions. This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the Azure technology landscape, influence engineering direction, and work on meaningful transformation programmes while remaining hands-on with modern Microsoft technologies.
