About the job you are considering
You'll be joining a passionate, professional and highly skilled team of developers who specialise in agile custom software development and integration at an enterprise scale. Innovation in delivery is always at the forefront of our minds, which is why we utilise a variety of Open Source and proprietary technologies to achieve the best possible outcome for the client.
We have a world class software engineering community; we invest in doing things right and have plenty to say on the subject. We're active on social media and for those that want to find out more, take a look at our blogs - written by engineers, for engineers: http://capgemini.github.io/
Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.
If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service).
Your role
Guide engineering teams, promoting platform engineering practices, self-service enablement, and a strong operational mindset (SRE/DevOps).
Hands‑on Azure architecture experience aligned to the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Azure Well‑Architected Framework (WAF), producing pragmatic reference architectures and design decisions.
Design, build, and operate enterprise‑scale AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) platforms, providing hands‑on Kubernetes administration and troubleshooting across clusters and workloads, including upgrades, capacity planning, reliability engineering, incident response, and ingress or service mesh technologies (for example Envoy and ingress controllers).
Define and implement Git‑driven delivery models (GitOps) for Kubernetes workloads and platform configuration, using tools such as Flux/Argo CD to enable environment separation, promotion, and traceable change control.
Support governance and operational controls across Azure estates, including Azure Policy, cost management/FinOps practices, logging/monitoring standards, and secure‑by‑default configurations.
Design cloud native architectures (microservices and containerised workloads) with appropriate Azure networking (hub‑and‑spoke, VNets, peering, private endpoints) and identity/access using Microsoft Entra ID, suitable for public sector and regulated environments.
Your skills and experience
Proven experience as a senior Azure practitioner, with strong judgement in applying the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Azure Well‑Architected Framework (WAF) to real‑world delivery scenarios, balancing architectural rigour with pragmatism.
Hands‑on experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) in complex, enterprise environments, including confidence designing for scale, resilience, and long‑term operability rather than just initial build.
Kubernetes expertise, with the ability to diagnose and resolve platform and workload‑level issues across networking, ingress, service‑to‑service communication, and performance or reliability concerns.
Experience applying AI‑assisted tooling within DevOps and platform engineering contexts, such as using GitHub Copilot and AIOps capabilities to improve productivity, accelerate troubleshooting, enhance CI/CD pipelines, and support more proactive operational practices.
Real world delivery of Azure governance, policy, and cost management (FinOps) principles, alongside hands‑on experience with Infrastructure as Code (such as Bicep) and GitOps‑based delivery models for AKS.
