VP - Senior DevOps Engineer (Azure)

Delta Capita is embarking on a critical Hosting Migration Programme to move an Azure hosted platform from vendor managed subscriptions into Delta Capita's Azure tenant.

• Defining and maintaining architectural standards for Azure hosted applications in alignment with our overall Cloud and Security standards.

• Partnering with Microsoft cloud specialists to onboard and optimise Azure services.

• Ensuring Cloud hosted applications are resilient, compliant, and cost-effective.

• Building skills and understanding of Cloud architecture standards through training and creating knowledge bases for the development and support teams responsible for the Delta Capita CMMS product portfolio.

• Collaborating closely with the Project Management Capability team to align delivery milestones with technical execution.
