Cloud Operations Engineer

6-month contract

London / Hybrid - 2/3 days in the office a week

I'm working with a leading UK financial services organisation looking for a hands-on Cloud Operations Engineer to join their team on an initial 6-month contract.

This is a Microsoft-focused enterprise infrastructure role, but there are two particularly important areas they're looking for:

1. Strong hands-on Microsoft 365 / Microsoft infrastructure experience

2. Experience with MOVEit or other enterprise data transfer / orchestration technologies

If you've got both, I'd be very interested in speaking with you.

The role

You'll be responsible for supporting and improving a large enterprise Microsoft environment across cloud and on-prem infrastructure.

The role will cover:

• Microsoft 365 / Office 365
• Intune and Autopilot
• Conditional Access and PIM
• Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive
• Microsoft Defender / endpoint security
• Azure and hybrid cloud infrastructure
• Windows Server, Active Directory and Group Policy
• PowerShell and automation
• Monitoring and service health
• L3 troubleshooting and technical support
• Infrastructure security and vulnerability remediation
• Change management and ITIL processes
• Production support and participation in an on-call rota

The organisation has a significant requirement around secure and automated data transfer between systems.

We're particularly interested in people with hands-on experience of:

MOVEit / Managed File Transfer (MFT)

For example:

• Administering and supporting MOVEit
• Creating or maintaining transfer workflows
• Scheduling automated transfers
• Troubleshooting failed transfers
• Monitoring transfer jobs and resolving errors
• Working with automated data transfer processes

You should be comfortable taking ownership of complex technical issues and working at 3rd-line/L3 level.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Excellent Microsoft 365 knowledge
• Hands-on experience with MOVEit or equivalent MFT/data transfer/orchestration technology
• Experience supporting production environments
• Good understanding of security, identity and endpoint management
• Experience with change management and ITIL processes
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

If you're a senior Microsoft infrastructure/M365 engineer with MOVEit, MFT, data transfer or orchestration experience , I'd be very keen to speak with you.
