- Maintain operational runbooks and contribute to ITIL-aligned incident, problem and change management.
- Use service trends and monitoring data to identify emerging risks and recommend improvements.
- Security and resilience
- Coordinate patching and vulnerability remediation, prioritising action by risk and business impact.
- Work with the Senior Cyber Engineer on security baselines and Microsoft Defender controls across Azure, Microsoft 365 and endpoints.
- Help manage access-control exceptions with appropriate governance and support audits, Cyber Essentials assessments and relevant regulatory reviews.
- Recommend proportionate controls that balance security, reliability and usability.
- Automation, cost and collaboration
- Use PowerShell and other appropriate tools to automate repeatable tasks and improve consistency.
- Work with the Senior DevOps Engineer to read, run and maintain infrastructure-as-code templates, including Bicep or Terraform.
- Monitor cloud costs and recommend tagging, right-sizing and other opportunities to reduce waste.
- Prioritise work transparently, explain technical trade-offs to non-technical colleagues, collaborate with suppliers and share knowledge across the team.
Experience
- Essential
- Hands-on experience operating production cloud services, particularly Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.

- Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 services (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Teams and OneDrive) and relevant security controls.
- Experience with backup, disaster recovery, documented recovery procedures and testing.
- Familiarity with Microsoft Defender technologies, patching and risk-based vulnerability remediation.
- PowerShell scripting skills and an understanding of cloud cost optimisation.

- Clear communication, sound judgement and a practical approach to ownership and continuous improvement.
- Desirable
- Experience with infrastructure as code (Bicep, Terraform or ARM) and/or Python or Bash automation.
- Exposure to Microsoft Sentinel, KQL workbooks or security alert tuning alongside a SOC.
- Experience with hybrid virtualisation or SaaS integrations such as Salesforce.
