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.

• An understanding that quality is everyone's responsibility, including in infrastructure and automation

• 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

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