• Azure & On-Prem Tech Stack: Work with a diverse tech stack.
• Collaboration & Leadership: Work closely with the Azure virtual team and be a key player in the application team, helping to guide the cloud adoption process while adhering to the established practices of the organisation.
• On-Call Support: Eventually participate in a shared on-call rota to ensure 24/7 support for critical banking operations.

What We're Looking For:

• Azure Expertise: Solid experience managing production services on Azure, including Power BI, Data bricks, and Digital Data Factory.
• Hybrid Skills: Comfort and experience in supporting both cloud-based and on-premises solutions.
• Technical Proficiency: Strong knowledge of Windows and Unix operating systems, with additional skills in Powershell Scripting and automation being highly desirable.
• Financial Services Experience: Background in supporting applications in the financial sector, particularly in areas like BACS, CHAPS, and Faster Payments, is a plus.
• Team Player: Someone who can fit into a laid-back, easy-going team, but who can also take the lead when necessary.

Why Join Us?

• Impactful Work: Be part of a team driving the transformation of a leading financial institution into a Digital-First bank.
• Career Growth: Gain experience in a cutting-edge cloud environment with opportunities for certification and professional development.
• Flexible Working: Enjoy the flexibility of remote work, with travel to the office once or twice a year for social visits.

Salary & Benefits:

• Up to £50k plus £5k on call, with potential for higher compensation based on certifications and key skills.
• Learning Opportunities: Access to resources like Pluralsight for continuous learning and development.
• Work-Life Balance: Support for a healthy work-life balance with flexible working arrangements.
