Working Pattern: 3 days per week in the office
We've partnered with a leading firm with global presence. They are looking for an Azure Network Engineer to join a 16-strong IT Infrastructure Services team responsible for designing, deploying and managing a secure, highly available cloud and on-premise environment.
