At Ando Insurance, we’re not standing still. We’re building, modernising and creating the technology foundations that will help shape where we go next.
That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a cloud and infrastructure expert to take ownership of our Azure platform, security posture and cloud engineering capability - helping us build a secure, scalable environment that enables the business to move faster and smarter.
Reporting to our CIO, this is a newly created leadership role designed for someone who still loves being close to the tech - someone who gets excited by Azure architecture, security, automation and platform engineering - and who enjoys mentoring others and lifting technical capability across the team.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lead the evolution of Ando’s Azure-first cloud platform and security capability, spanning strategy through to hands-on implementation.
Key areas include:
Azure platform architecture and governance
Cloud security and cyber uplift
Identity, networking and Zero Trust principles
DevOps and platform engineering
Infrastructure as Code and automation
Vendor and managed service relationships
Mentoring engineers and uplifting internal capability
Helping us progressively bring more technical capability in-house
You’ll work closely with our CIO and Technology Leadership Team to create a secure, reliable and developer-friendly platform that supports Ando’s future growth.
About you
You’re someone who can move comfortably between strategic conversations and deep technical problem solving.
You’ve likely spent years designing and supporting complex Azure environments and know what good looks like when it comes to cloud engineering, security and operational maturity.
You enjoy helping others grow, share knowledge freely and bring people along on the journey.
We’d love to hear from people with experience across most of the following:
Enterprise Azure environments and Azure Landing Zones
Infrastructure/platform engineering
Azure networking, identity and security
Microsoft Defender, Sentinel and Entra ID
Terraform and/or Bicep
CI/CD and DevOps tooling
Observability, resilience and operational excellence
Security architecture and cloud governance
Why Ando?
We’re proud to be a little different from your typical insurance company.
Ten years ago, we started as a challenger brand looking to disrupt the insurance industry - and we’ve been growing rapidly ever since. Today, we’re a team of around 380 people, still with that same ambitious mindset.
We’re a friendly, down-to-earth bunch who work hard, move quickly and get sh*t done - without the corporate ego. We also offer some great perks, including:
Life & Income Protection Insurance
$500 annual wellbeing allowance
Hybrid flexible working (2-3 days in the office)
Brand new offices opening in July in Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter, complete with a golf simulator, gym and sauna
Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing technology capability in a business where your ideas and expertise will genuinely influence the future direction.
If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today!
Ando is a multi-lines insurance business and sell our policies through
New Zealand’s leading insurance brokers. We operate as an underwriting agency and claims agent of The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd, we are a Lloyd’s coverholder and an agent of HDI Global Speciality SE – New Zealand.
At Ando, we believe the core purpose of insurance is to help people minimise losses when things go wrong. That's why we see insurance as a relationship, not just a transaction. We've built our business on long-term partnerships and shared value, always striving to positively impact the wellbeing of New Zealanders.
We’re proud that we’re a bit different from regular insurance companies – recognising that it’s our people, and their relationships, who make that difference. We know when to work hard, be focused and smart, but we also know to never underestimate the importance of the human connections that make us tick and get along.
At Ando, we leave egos at the door, creating a culture of trust and respect. This fosters strong relationships and a dynamic team where every voice is heard, fresh ideas are welcomed, and positive intent drives everything we do. If that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, then ‘Jump in’!
