Senior Infrastructure Engineer | Financial Services | M365 specialist | Permanent Role

Your new company

Join a well-established organisation with a strong presence in the financial services sector. This business is known for its commitment to innovation, stability, and delivering high-quality technology solutions across its operations. The team is collaborative, technically strong, and focused on continuous improvement and best practice.

Your new role

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you'll play a key role in enhancing the organisation's IT infrastructure.

There are two opportunities available within the team, driven by continued growth and increased demand across the business.

This is a high-impact infrastructure role within a Microsoft-heavy environment, where M365 capability is critical. You will be heavily involved in designing, supporting, and optimising Microsoft cloud and identity platforms, with a particular focus on Entra ID, Azure AD, and M365 services.

You'll also support initiatives around modernising file services, including leveraging SharePoint as a scalable file storage solution to replace traditional file servers, with exposure to integrating these environments into broader workflows and automation.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Advanced experience with Microsoft environments, including Entra ID, Azure AD, and M365
  • Designing and supporting modern workplace solutions within the M365 ecosystem (core requirement)
  • Working with SharePoint Online, including supporting its use as a document management and file storage platform
  • Supporting and improving identity, access, and security controls (including conditional access)
  • Exposure to and involvement in Power Automate workflows (desirable)
  • Maintenance and optimisation of core infrastructure, including hybrid cloud environments
  • Participation in infrastructure projects and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Contributing to technical documentation and best practice standards

What you'll need to succeed

  • Previous experience in a senior infrastructure or systems engineering role
  • Proven experience working in Microsoft-heavy environments, with strong M365 expertise (essential)
  • Hands-on experience with Entra ID / Azure AD, conditional access, and identity management
  • Experience with SharePoint Online, ideally including file migration or replacing traditional file servers
  • Exposure to Power Automate or similar automation tools (desirable)
  • Strong understanding of hybrid cloud environments (Azure preferred)
  • Ability to work in a small, collaborative team with high ownership and autonomy
  • Experience supporting large-scale or enterprise environments
  • Financial services experience is beneficial but not essential.

What you'll get in return

  • Opportunity to work in a highly Microsoft-focused environment with modern tooling including M365 and Entra
  • Work from home 2 days per week
  • Involvement in strategic projects such as tenant consolidation and platform standardisation
  • A collaborative, flat-structured engineering team with strong technical capability
  • Long-term growth potential as the business continues to expand
