Technical Cloud Lead (Azure)

Team: Tech

Location: Thame

Commitment: Permanent

Workplace Type: hybrid

Hi, we’re Smoove, part of the PEXA Group.

Our vision is to simplify and revolutionise the home moving and ownership experience for everyone. We are on a mission to deliver products and services that remove the pain, frustration, uncertainty, friction and stress that the current process creates.

We are a leading provider of tech in the property sector - founded in 2003, our product focus has been our conveyancer two-sided marketplace, connecting consumers with a range of quality conveyancers to choose from at competitive prices via our easy-to-use tech platform. We are now building out our ecosystem so consumers can benefit from our services either via their Estate Agent or their Mortgage Broker, through smarter conveyancing platforms, making the home buying or selling process easier, quicker, safer and more transparent.

We're now looking for a Technical Cloud Lead to shape the next generation of our Azure platform while leading a small, high-performing cloud engineering function.

This is more than an infrastructure role.

As our Technical Cloud Lead, you'll own the technical direction of our Azure estate, leading the design, operation and continual improvement of the cloud platforms that support Smoove, Amity Law and Legal Eye.

You'll combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership, working alongside software engineers, security specialists, architects and operational teams to build resilient, secure and highly automated cloud environments.

You'll also mentor engineers, influence technical strategy and help drive our transition towards modern cloud-native and platform engineering practices.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll play a key role across cloud engineering, platform operations and technical leadership, including:

Designing and evolving our Azure platform

Leading the design, implementation and continuous improvement of our Azure infrastructure
Managing Azure landing zones, networking, identity, governance and platform standards
Supporting cloud-native technologies including AKS, Istio and Grafana
Operating enterprise Azure services including SQL PaaS, Storage, Redis, Cosmos DB, Key Vault and virtual infrastructure

Driving resilience and operational excellence

Building highly available, secure and resilient cloud platforms
Leading disaster recovery, backup, monitoring and observability initiatives
Managing incident response, root cause analysis and continuous service improvement
Ensuring platforms remain secure, reliable and operationally robust

Modernising through automation

Developing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Bicep
Supporting CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
Using scripting and automation to remove manual effort and improve operational consistency
Improving developer experience through practical platform engineering

Leading people and technology

Mentoring and developing Azure Engineers and technical colleagues
Acting as the senior technical escalation point for cloud infrastructure
Working closely with Product, Engineering, Security and Operations teams across the UK and Australia
Helping define the roadmap for cloud infrastructure and operational maturity

Governance and optimisation

Supporting ISO27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and security assurance activities
Working with suppliers and cloud partners
Driving cloud cost optimisation and FinOps initiatives
Maintaining documentation, standards and operational governance

About You

You'll be an experienced Azure infrastructure professional who enjoys balancing hands-on technical work with technical leadership.

We're looking for someone who has experience with:

Designing and operating enterprise Microsoft Azure environments
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and containerised platforms
Azure networking, security, identity and platform services
Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Bicep
CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
Monitoring, observability and operational excellence
Cloud security, disaster recovery and high availability
Troubleshooting complex infrastructure, networking and application hosting issues
Leading engineers and influencing technical direction

You'll also bring excellent communication skills and enjoy working collaboratively across engineering, product, security and operational teams.

Experience within regulated or security-conscious environments would be highly advantageous.
