Job Description

We are recruiting for a Contract Lead Azure Platform Engineer (Contract)

Start Date: ASAP

Location: Remote, but you must be able to travel to Manchester for some face-time.


Who We Are:

AND Digital are a tech company focused on accelerating digital delivery and dedicated to closing the digital skills gap. We’ve been helping organisations build better digital products and stronger digital teams since 2014.

We believe our work should always make a remarkable impact for our clients. We do this through our regional offices (or ‘Clubs’) building strong relationships with our partners, so that they are always prioritised by a team within close proximity.

This unique model has driven success for our clients and ourselves, evidenced by our remarkable organic growth since 2014. Today we number more than 1,300 people with Clubs all over the UK, Europe and the USA with plans for global expansion in the next couple of years.

Join us - and help us fulfil our mission to close the world’s digital skills gap.

We're looking for an experienced Azure Platform Architect to join a high-profile AI & Data programme, reporting directly to the Solution Director (AI & Data). This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping and delivering an enterprise-scale Azure platform from the ground up.

You'll take ownership of designing and evolving a greenfield Azure environment, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with existing on-premise legacy infrastructure while enabling future AI and data capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement enterprise-grade Azure landing zones for a greenfield environment.
  • Lead the discovery, design and iterative development of the Azure platform.
  • Build secure, scalable and resilient cloud architectures aligned with enterprise best practice.
  • Integrate Azure services with existing on-premise legacy estates.
  • Work closely with the Solution Director (AI & Data) and wider stakeholders to define the platform roadmap.
  • Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance throughout the engagement.
  • Support the adoption of Microsoft Fabric and associated Azure services where appropriate.

Essential Skills & Experience:

  • Extensive experience architecting enterprise-scale solutions on Microsoft Azure.
  • Proven expertise designing and implementing Azure Landing Zones within complex enterprise environments.
  • Strong experience integrating Azure with on-premise infrastructure and legacy systems.
  • Knowledge and hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric and its associated Azure services.
  • Experience delivering greenfield cloud platforms from discovery through to implementation.
  • Ability to develop cloud platforms iteratively, balancing immediate business needs with long-term scalability.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

Equal Opportunities Statement

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates. We actively encourage applications from women, ethnic minorities, and individuals with disabilities. We consider all flexible working arrangements, subject to the requirements of the role. Where reasonable adjustments are needed, we will strive to make changes to accommodate them.

About AND Digital

AND Digital is on a mission to close the world’s digital skills gap. We do that by doing things differently when we work with our clients, communities and colleagues. Instead of working FOR exciting brands (like British Airways, Heineken and Nike), we work WITH them, and that's not just a party line. We combine our people with our clients' people to form a single project team, so collaborative you can't tell our ANDis from our clients. By working together, we help our partners understand and map out the challenges they're trying to solve. Then, by building their digital products as one team, we teach them the same digital skills we have. That means when we leave, they can own their apps, websites and future projects independently. Pretty cool huh?

We have cross-functional teams working across the UK, Netherlands and East Coast US - and growing by demand. Our unique, city-based Club model means we can offer the agility and personalised service of a small local company, with the security and clout of a global organisation.
