Azure Cloud Engineer at Fyre Global Limited, Manchester, £Contract Rate

This isn’t a greenfield “build whatever you want” kind of role

It’s structured. Governed. Done properly

We’re working with a consultancy who need a Cloud Engineer on a contract basis for an upcoming project focused on Azure integration and API delivery

It’s backend-heavy, API-led work, in an environment where standards, security, and consistency actually matter

• Designing and building APIs in Azure

• Working across integration services, backend systems, and data flows

• Delivering REST and event-driven APIs

• Handling data transformation between systems

• Building services that are secure, observable, and reliable

• Working within platform standards, shared tooling, and governance

This isn’t just “build an endpoint and move on”
You’ll be owning things properly - design, build, deploy, and run.

• Strong Azure experience (compute, data, integration)

• Solid .NET / C# backend background

• Good experience with API design and integration

• Understanding of API standards (versioning, security, etc.)

• Experience working in structured / governed environments

• Comfortable working across the full API lifecycle

Bonus if you’ve worked with:

• OAuth2 / authentication

• API management platforms

• CI/CD and platform tooling

• You’ve worked on real integration problems, not just internal apps

• You understand how APIs fit into wider systems and partner ecosystems

• You’re comfortable working within guardrails, not fighting them

• You can come in, get up to speed quickly, and deliver without drama

If you’re more frontend-focused or purely product app dev, this probably isn’t for you
