Are you an experienced Azure Developer with strong Python skills who wants full ownership of greenfield cloud projects, the opportunity to shape technical direction, and the chance to help upskill a growing team within an ambitious and rapidly expanding data division?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative and fast-growing data team within an established research organisation that is investing heavily in cloud technologies, analytics, and modern data platforms. Having expanded significantly in recent years, the division offers genuine opportunities for progression, continuous learning, and exposure to the latest technologies.

As the organisation continues its transition towards a more data-driven future, you'll play a key role in delivering Azure-based solutions from concept through to deployment. You'll have the autonomy to take ownership of projects, influence technical decisions, and determine the best approach to delivering high-quality solutions.

Alongside hands-on development, you'll act as a senior Azure specialist within the team, helping to raise technical capability and sharing knowledge with colleagues. This role would suit a self-starter who enjoys solving complex problems, communicating with stakeholders, and taking responsibility for the full project lifecycle.

The Role:
End-to-end ownership of Azure cloud and data projects
Design and development of scalable Azure-based solutions
Building integrations, APIs, ETL processes and data pipelines
Working closely with stakeholders to deliver business-critical products
Supporting and mentoring colleagues on Azure best practice
Delivering greenfield projects using modern cloud technologies

The Person:
Strong commercial Azure development experience
Excellent Python development skills
Experience delivering projects from design through to deployment
Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities
Self-motivated and comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy
Background in cloud, data engineering, or analytics environments
