DevOps Engineer - Azure Specialist

We’re an award-winning consultancy known for delivering exceptional products and services through technology. We work closely with organisations to help them accelerate value delivery and create outstanding customer experiences. Our purpose is simple: to empower organisations to make a real difference for people, society, and the planet through technology that’s efficient, user-friendly, and solves problems fast.

At Burendo, we believe that together, we can achieve incredible things.

What sets us apart is how we work. We pride ourselves on having a pragmatic attitude to delivery—we think big, plan practically, adapt quickly, and always focus on results, no matter how complex the challenge. We’re passionate about making great things happen by embracing innovation, challenging the status quo, and fostering collaboration at every step. At Burendo, caring for people is at the heart of what we do. We value partnerships, listen to different viewpoints, and believe in treating everyone fairly. And, we love to share what we learn—using our expertise to help others grow and empowering organisations to succeed in the long term.

We're looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer – Azure Specialist to join Burendo and help our clients get the most out of their Azure environments. You'll bring strong hands-on Azure expertise to a variety of engaging client projects, working within a team that genuinely values craft, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

These are the things we value most at Burendo, we can teach skills, but our behaviours forge the culture we strive for.

• A passion for engineering and a desire to keep learning
• A focus on writing clear, concise infrastructure and configuration code that is easy to maintain
• An ability to be pragmatic when required and avoid unnecessary over-engineering
• An understanding that quality is everyone's responsibility, including in infrastructure and automation
• Comfortable working with others in pairing or mobbing scenarios
• A good communicator who shares our values of openness and respect
• A true DevOps mentality – you don't want to chuck code over the fence, and you're keen to be involved right through to delivering solutions to the customer

The must haves:

• Hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing Azure infrastructure — including virtual machines, networking, storage, and identity services

• Experience monitoring and optimising cloud environments using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Cost Management
• Experience supporting application migrations or modernisation initiatives, including on-premises to Azure
• A good understanding of and experience working with agile methodologies
• Experience working in and supporting live production environments
• Understanding of and working experience with source control, particularly Git
• Experience with database technologies of some flavour

And it would be great if you have any of these:

• Experience implementing backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions using Azure-native services
• Experience with no-SQL technologies such as MongoDB
• Familiarity with multi-cloud environments, including AWS

• 25 days Annual Leave (plus bank holidays)
• An additional day of paid leave for celebrations
• 1 additional day of holiday after 2 years' service (26 days total) and another 2 days after 5 years (28 days total)
• Monthly Wellness Allowance
