We’re looking for an Azure Platform Engineer with strong experience in Kubernetes and an interest in platform abstraction and cloud-native infrastructure patterns. You’ll help us design and build shared platform capabilities on Azure that hide complexity from product teams while enforcing security, reliability and governance by default.

This role is ideal for an engineer who:

  • Enjoys working with Kubernetes and Azure
  • Thinks in terms of platform APIs, abstractions and self-service
  • Is curious about emerging control plane and infrastructure abstraction approaches
  • Wants to help teams consume infrastructure as a product

How the Team Works

You’ll join a Platform Engineering team focused on building reusable, internal platform services rather than one-off infrastructure.

We work using:

  • Kubernetes as a core platform primitive
  • GitOps, CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code
  • DevSecOps and SRE-inspired practices
  • AI-assisted engineering (Copilot, agents, automation)

What You’ll Do

  • Build and operate Azure-backed platform services exposed through Kubernetes APIs
  • Design abstractions that allow teams to provision infrastructure safely and consistently
  • Work with AKS as a core runtime for platform and workload services
  • Contribute to platform control plane capabilities (e.g. Kubernetes-based or API-driven approaches)
  • Define and manage Azure resources using Terraform, Bicep and declarative approaches
  • - Embed security, governance and policy into platform defaults
  • Support GitOps-driven workflows and CI/CD pipelines
  • Improve observability, reliability and operational readiness

Who You Are

Essential:

  • Experience in Azure, cloud engineering, DevOps or platform roles
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes
  • Infrastructure-as-Code experience
  • Scripting (PowerShell, Bash or Python)
  • CI/CD and Git-based workflows

Desirable:

  • Experience with platform abstraction or control plane patterns (e.g. Crossplane, Pulumi, or similar approaches)
  • Kubernetes extension patterns or operators
  • Terraform or Bicep
  • Azure networking, identity and governance
  • GitOps tooling

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
