This is a 6 month contract based in the Perth CBD.


Our clients are seeking an experienced Azure Cloud Platform Engineer to play a key role in thier enterprise cloud transformation as we transition to a modern, cloud-first operating model.


This role is focused on building the foundational services, guardrails, and automation that enable teams to safely and efficiently consume Azure.


You will design and implement a scalable, secure cloud platform with some opportunity to support a hybrid environment that includes a significant on-prem Red Hat Linux footprint.


Key Responsibilities



  • Design and implement Azure landing zones, management hierarchy, and subscription governance aligned to best practices (CAF / ALZ).

  • Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Bicep) modules, reusable patterns, and deployment pipelines.

  • Develop and manage policy-as-code to enforce security, compliance, and operational standards.

  • Configure and operate Entra ID, including RBAC, Conditional Access, and privileged access controls.

  • Deliver CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) to support automated, repeatable deployments.

  • Establish networking and integration patterns, including private endpoints, hub-and-spoke, and SaaS connectivity.

  • Support and enhance integration services (API Management, messaging, event-driven architectures).

  • Provide hands‑on support and guidance across both cloud and hybrid environments.

  • Proven experience building and operating Azure landing zones and cloud platforms in enterprise environments.

  • Strong Infrastructure‑as‑Code expertise (Bicep preferred) and automation mindset.

  • Experience implementing Azure Policy and governance frameworks.

  • Deep knowledge of Azure identity (Entra ID) and access management.

  • Hands‑on experience with Azure networking (private connectivity, security, hybrid integration).

  • Strong experience with CI/CD and GitHub Actions.

  • Ability to design scalable platform patterns and enable self‑service consumption.


Highly Valued Experience



  • Experience working in hybrid environments transitioning from on‑premises to cloud.

  • Strong Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) experience supporting on‑prem workloads.

  • Understanding of hybrid identity and integration patterns between on‑prem and Azure.

  • Broad troubleshooting capability across cloud and infrastructure layers.


What We’re Looking For



  • A hands‑on builder who can design and deliver a modern Azure platform.

  • Someone comfortable operating across both engineering and operational support.

  • Ability to work in a complex, security‑conscious enterprise environment and influence best practices.
