Job Description

A leading research?driven organisation is growing its cloud and data engineering capability and is hiring a Cloud & Data Platform Engineer to support the development, governance and optimisation of its modern Azure?based environment. This role is ideal for someone with early career experience in cloud/data engineering who is ready to take ownership of real platform responsibilities.
The Role
You will support the build and optimisation of a scalable data and ML platform, working across Azure, Snowflake and a range of modern engineering tools. The position blends technical platform work with governance responsibilities, ensuring Azure environments remain secure, compliant and cost?efficient.

This is not a senior architecture role — it is hands?on engineering and cloud administration, contributing directly to how the organisation uses its cloud services.
Key Responsibilities Cloud Engineering & Administration

• Act as a global administrator within Azure, supporting identity, governance and platform configuration
• Apply, maintain and improve Azure policies , including cost monitoring, optimisation and resource governance
• Support automation, monitoring and operational upkeep of cloud services

Data Platform Engineering

• Work with Snowflake as part of the core enterprise data platform
• Contribute to data pipeline creation, integrations and ongoing platform health
• Support ML/data workflows using tools such as Databricks, Azure ML, Synapse, MLflow, Airflow , or similar technologies

Collaboration & Platform Support

• Work closely with data engineers, ML practitioners and analysts
• Troubleshoot and resolve cloud platform issues
• Help shape best practices for cloud operations and cost?effective design

What We're Looking For

• Around 2–3 years’ experience in cloud engineering or data engineering
• Strong experience working with Azure (AWS familiarity fine, but Azure must be primary)
• Hands?on experience with Snowflake is a plus
• Familiarity with modern data/ML platforms (Databricks, Azure ML, Synapse, MLflow, Airflow, etc.)
• Experience applying Azure policies, managing cloud governance and monitoring cloud cost efficiency
• Experience acting as an Azure global administrator, overseeing core platform configuration
• Broad engineering mindset — someone who works on platforms, not analysing data
