As a senior Azure DevOps Engineer in Credera’s Delivery Centre capability, you’ll work as part of a close‑knit team supporting one of our long‑term client partnerships alongside architects, support engineers, and delivery leaders. You’ll be one of the more experienced engineers in that team – leading significant areas of the platform and acting as the go‑to person for your domain. Building on Credera’s reputation for engineering excellence, you’ll have a chance to learn from a team of experts who can help you develop into a future technical leader. Consultancy to us is about customer delivery first, carried out by technically excellent people with a learning mindset.

• The ability to lead a significant area of work to agreed time and quality with minimal direction, breaking it down and delivering it through a small team as well as with your own hands, escalating blockers promptly while proposing practical solutions

• Established technical expertise in your domain, with code and pull request reviews that colleagues value, and a willingness to mentor more junior colleagues and implement agreed improvements
• Experience using AI or Agentic techniques and willingness to adopt the use of these tools quickly
• You will be required to hold active SC clearance for this role.

Desirable Skills

• Familiarity with configuration management tooling (e.g. Ansible).
• Experience migrating or re‑hosting existing workloads into Azure, including networking and hybrid connectivity.
• Experience supporting and operating production systems.
• Exposure to containerisation and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
• Exposure to AI/ML services on Azure, or hands‑on use of AI and agentic tools in production environments.
