Ideally, you will also have

• Experience with agile delivery approaches, the software development lifecycle, infrastructure as code and automated delivery tools would be valuable.
• Relevant cloud or enterprise architecture certifications, together with experience of Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Terraform, Bicep, PowerShell or Python, would also support your impact in the role.
