The Role
Brio Partners is working with a national health organisation to find an experienced Azure DevOps Engineer to support a live digital health platform. You will own infrastructure, environments and pipelines through tenant migration, the next phase of Azure migration and ongoing platform hardening, in a regulated and secure environment.

Deliver outstanding platform hardening and act on penetration testing findings.
Manage IAM, deployment permissions, DNS records and user offboarding within the subscription.
Produce clear infrastructure documentation in line with governance controls.
Essential Experience
Strong hands-on Microsoft Azure experience, including networking, Front Door, Container Apps, Key Vault, DNS and Storage (including static site hosting).
Infrastructure as Code with Bicep. Terraform is also required, as some areas are mid-migration.
CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines, including secure deployment patterns and environment promotion.
Identity and authentication with Keycloak, OpenID and external identity providers.
Certificate management, domain verification and CNAME mapping.
Experience designing or supporting DR and failover for cloud-hosted services.
Background working in regulated or secure environments.

NHS or public sector digital platform experience.
Tenant-to-tenant or Azure migration projects.
Security hardening and remediation of penetration test findings.
