Job Description & Summary

Join PwC’s AI and Data Services team and help build, run, and continuously improve the cloud foundations that power modern data and AI workloads. We’re growing quickly and opening a Cloud Platform Engineer role focused on Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes, and automation.

If you enjoy modern cloud engineering, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and owning production environments end-to-end, this role is for you.

Role overview

As our Cloud Platform Engineer, you will operate, monitor, and maintain multiple Azure subscriptions and global applications. This is a true engineering + operations role: you’ll design and deliver new infrastructure, implement changes in production, and support incident tickets as part of the team. You’ll work closely with data professionals, software engineers, and business stakeholders to build and support efficient, scalable, and secure cloud platforms.

What you’ll work on

• Designing, building, and maintaining Azure infrastructure (IaaS/PaaS) using Terraform modules for new projects and production updates

• Operating and supporting Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environments

• Troubleshooting IaaS and PaaS issues raised via incident tickets and meeting ticket closure SLAs

• Implementing secure-by-design networking patterns (VNets, NSGs, Load Balancers, App Gateway, Private Link, DNS)

• Creating and maintaining environment documentation: diagrams, playbooks, runbooks, and best-practice guides

• Collaborating with internal partners and providing guidance on application and infrastructure design

• Contributing to CI/CD and automation work (e.g., Azure DevOps Pipelines, GitHub Actions) for reliable, repeatable releases

Key responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain Azure-based infrastructure with Terraform (IaaS and PaaS)

• Operate and support AKS clusters used by data and application teams

• Investigate and resolve incidents on Azure infrastructure and services, ensuring SLAs are met

• Maintain high-quality documentation for environments and operational procedures

• Drive operational excellence through automation, standardisation, and best practices

• Communicate clearly with stakeholders, translating technical topics into business-friendly language

Required skills & experience:

• 3+ years of experience with Azure core services, including:

  • Azure Resource Manager

  • Virtual Machines / Scale Sets

  • Storage (Blob/Files)

  • Networking (VNets, NSGs, Load Balancer, Application Gateway, DNS, Private Link)

• 3+ years of experience with Windows or Linux administration, with strong problem-solving ability

• 3+ years of experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

• 2+ years of experience with Terraform

• Ability to work independently and proactively initiate tasks without close supervision

• Professional English language communication

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills

Nice to have:

• Experience with BICEP and/or ARM templates

• Experience configuring CI/CD using Azure DevOps Pipelines and/or GitHub Actions (YAML)

• Familiarity with configuration management tooling (preferably Ansible)

• Familiarity with Kafka, MongoDB, and/or Elasticsearch

• Scripting skills (Bash, Shell, or PowerShell)

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

If modern cloud engineering and DevOps excite you and you want to build real, production-grade Azure platforms, we’d like to hear from you.
