## Description

We are seeking a Platform Engineer to build, automate, and run the platform that 50,000+ employees across multiple countries use to communicate and collaborate.

The successful candidate will take architecture direction and a prioritized backlog and turn them into working, tested, automated, documented configuration in production. The expectation is engineering rather than administration: configuration expressed as code and deployed through pipelines, not clicked through a portal and remembered by whoever was on shift.

The role also runs what it builds. Platform Engineers own the operational health of their workloads , diagnosing the awkward, intermittent, only-happens-in-Tokyo problems that never reproduce in a lab, and eliminating the root cause rather than closing the ticket.

Key responsibilities:

- Design, build, test, and deploy configuration across the Microsoft 365 estate

- Implement to the reference architecture and standards set by the Principal Architect

- Deliver backlog items from sprint to production with the tests, telemetry, documentation, and rollback path included

- Build and maintain integrations using Microsoft Graph and platform APIs

- Automate everything that would otherwise be done twice

- Express tenant configuration as code in version control

- Replace manual runbook steps with self-healing and self-service

- Own operational health of assigned workloads

- Investigate and resolve complex incidents and problems

- Participate in an on-call rotation for major incidents

- Manage the continuous change stream from Microsoft

Education & Professional Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline

- Relevant certifications desirable (e.g., Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert)

Area of Specialisation:

- Hands-on Microsoft 365 platform engineering across the core collaboration workloads

- Configuration-as-code for tenant settings

- Microsoft Purview implementation

- Complex collaboration-platform troubleshooting

Experience Required:

- 15+ years overall and 10+ years in IT engineering or platform operations

- Experience supporting or engineering a tenant of 5,000+ users

- Demonstrable hands-on capability across at least two of Exchange Online, SharePoint Online/OneDrive, or Microsoft Teams

Desirable:

- Experience in a regulated industry

- Migration delivery at scale

- Teams Phone / voice

- Teams Rooms and collaboration hardware

- Viva suite implementation

- Power Platform development

Skills:

- Access Control (AC)

- Agile Methodology

- Cisco Routing

- Cross-Functional Teamwork

- Data Analysis

- Design Thinking

- DevOps

- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Data Migration Testing

- Microsoft Office 365

- Operator Interfaces

- Prioritization

- Product Development Research

- Product Roadmapping

- Project Management

- User Experience (UX)
