VIQU is seeking an experienced Senior Hybrid Platform Engineer / Technical Lead to join a major enterprise customer based in Warwickshire. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the evolution of a complex hybrid platform environment, with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure (approximately 75%) supported by on-premises infrastructure (approximately 25%).

We're looking for a technically hands-on engineer who can drive platform transformation, lead infrastructure change, and support business-critical production environments. This role requires strong Azure expertise alongside solid VMware and on-prem infrastructure experience, with Terraform playing a key role in platform automation.

The Role

As the technical lead for platform engineering initiatives, you will own technical design decisions from concept through to implementation. You'll play a key role in modernising enterprise infrastructure, supporting Azure platform transformation, and ensuring services remain secure, resilient and highly available.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead technical design and delivery of hybrid platform and infrastructure changes.
  • Drive Azure platform modernisation, including migration from legacy Azure Landing Zones.
  • Manage and support enterprise Azure services across compute, networking, storage, identity and security.
  • Maintain hybrid connectivity between Azure and on-premises infrastructure.
  • Support and administer Windows Server environments, including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP and Group Policy.
  • Manage and maintain VMware vSphere/ESXi infrastructure.
  • Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
  • Lead incident resolution, troubleshooting and root cause analysis across hybrid platforms.
  • Collaborate with Architecture, Security and Engineering teams to deliver platform improvements.
  • Produce technical documentation, operational procedures and platform standards.

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Strong commercial experience supporting enterprise Microsoft Azure environments.
  • Hands-on experience with Azure Networking, Compute, Storage, Entra ID (Azure AD), Security and Governance.
  • Strong experience implementing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
  • Proven VMware vSphere/ESXi administration experience.
  • Strong Windows Server infrastructure knowledge including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP and Group Policy.
  • Experience supporting hybrid cloud environments and integrating Azure with on-prem infrastructure.
  • Experience supporting business-critical production platforms.
  • Excellent troubleshooting, problem-solving and root cause analysis skills.
  • Experience leading technical infrastructure or platform initiatives.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

Desirable Skills

  • Azure Landing Zone design and migration experience.
  • AWS exposure.
  • Monitoring and observability tooling.
  • ITIL knowledge.
  • Microsoft Azure or VMware certifications.
  • Experience working within enterprise or regulated environments.

Key Technologies

Microsoft Azure, Terraform, VMware vSphere/ESXi, Windows Server, Active Directory, Entra ID, Azure Networking, Azure Landing Zones, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, Hybrid Cloud, Infrastructure as Code, AWS (desirable).

If you're an experienced Hybrid Platform Engineer with deep Azure expertise, strong VMware knowledge and proven Terraform experience, we'd love to hear from you.
