Azure Cloud & Platform Engineer (m/f/d)

Full-time | Part-time | Job-sharing

You will act as a technical expert for our cloud infrastructure and help provide the foundation for business-critical services and projects, including Azure Virtual Desktop, AI initiatives, Dynamics 365, integrations, storage solutions, and future Azure-based services.

This role combines hands-on Azure administration with solution-oriented thinking. We are looking for someone who can operate existing services reliably, support project delivery, and identify where Azure technologies can help solve existing business or IT challenges.

YOUR ROLE AT A GLANCE

• support the implementation of Azure-based solutions from initial requirements through to stable operations.
• work with Azure Storage services, including Blob Storage, Azure Files, and related data storage technologies.
• help ensure that Azure services are secure, reliable, well-documented, and aligned with company standards.
• monitor performance, availability, security, and cost efficiency across Azure workloads.
• automate recurring tasks and operational processes using PowerShell, scripting, or infrastructure-as-code approaches.
• collaborate with internal IT teams, business stakeholders, and external partners to translate requirements into practical technical solutions.
• identify opportunities where Azure services can simplify processes, improve user experience, or support new business capabilities.
• contribute to cloud governance, operational standards, documentation, and best practices.
• stay up to date with developments across Microsoft Azure and evaluate new technologies that may add value to SPORTFIVE.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

Ideally, you also bring experience with one or more of the following areas:

• Azure certifications such as AZ-104, AZ-140, AZ-305, or similar.
• Infrastructure as Code, for example Bicep, ARM templates, Terraform, or similar technologies.
• Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and related operational tooling.
• Azure Backup, disaster recovery, and high-availability concepts.
• Microsoft 365 administration and integration with Azure services.
• Dynamics 365 or business application infrastructure support.
• Azure services used for AI solutions, integrations, automation, or data processing.
• Enterprise networking, including routing, switching, firewalls, VPN, and network security.
• macOS device management, Microsoft Intune for macOS, or Apple Business Manager.
