Entra / identity: We’re looking for strong technical knowledge of Entra and identity/security within Azure, including experience managing Entra application SSO and the lifecycle of Entra applications. Networking: The role requires meaningful hands-on Azure networking expertise and the ability to troubleshoot infrastructure and connectivity issues.

Overall profile: This is ultimately a hands-on Azure Infrastructure Engineer role. We need someone who can operate with a high degree of technical independence rather than primarily coordinate with or rely on other teams for deeper technical work.

This is a hybrid role where the client would need someone on site 3 days per week with flexibility when required.
