Here at Burns Sheehan, we are working with one of sport’s most recognised organisations as they continue to build out a modern, cloud-first data platform. Technology is playing an increasingly central role in performance, analytics, and decision‑making across the business, with a clear investment in Azure and data‑driven infrastructure.
They are now looking for a Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer to take ownership of their cloud platform, supporting the delivery of advanced analytics capabilities used across both technical and commercial teams. This is a hands‑on role with real influence, sitting at the centre of platform engineering, DevOps, and data infrastructure.
You’ll be joining a team building out a highly scalable Azure environment, supporting everything from data pipelines to real‑time analytics and reporting platforms. There is a strong focus on automation, platform reliability, and continuous improvement.
Core Responsibilities
* Design, build, and operate scalable Azure-based platforms with a focus on resilience, governance, and cost control
* Own infrastructure provisioning and lifecycle management using Terraform
* Lead on CI/CD strategy, implementation, and ongoing optimisation across platform services
* Support and enhance data platforms, including Azure Databricks and associated pipelines
* Implement and manage monitoring and observability tooling (Grafana, Datadog, Elastic)
* Drive improvements across automation, deployment processes, and platform reliability
* Collaborate closely with data and engineering teams to support analytics and reporting use cases
* Contribute to best practices across platform engineering, security, and governance
* Strong experience designing and operating Azure-based platforms in production environments
* Proven expertise with Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform
* Hands‑on experience owning CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions)
* Experience with containerisation (Docker) and exposure to Kubernetes environments
* Strong understanding of identity and access management within cloud platforms
* Experience implementing monitoring and observability solutions
* Strong scripting capability (Python, Bash or similar)
This role sits within a team focused on building advanced analytics capabilities, supporting areas such as performance analysis, reporting, and decision‑making. There is a strong pipeline of work, including the continued development of data platforms and reporting tools, alongside a broader push towards infrastructure as code and platform maturity.
With a key contractor rolling off in the coming months, this hire will play an important role in maintaining momentum and shaping the next phase of platform development.
