An advanced understanding of modern engineering practices such as pairing, mobbing, TDD, security by design, error handling, AI use in development with tools like CoPilot / Claude, prompt engineering and a shift left approach using observability tools like Datadog and Dynatrace
- Technology Breadth: You bring deep expertise across the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, including Azure Landing Zones, Entra ID, cloud-native patterns such as serverless and event-driven architectures, serverless, and a wide range of PaaS and IaaS workloads with strong alignment to the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Well-Architected Framework (WAF)
- DevOps Practices: You are fluent in CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and container orchestration, with hands-on experience across a broad technology range, including Terraform, Bicep, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Ansible, Docker, or Kubernetes
- Platform Expertise: You have hands-on experience with building GenAI and the Azure AI Foundry ecosystem, Data Platforms (Fabric / Databricks), and the breadth of Azure PaaS and IaaS services
- Security & Governance: You understand Zero Trust architecture principles and have practical experience with compliance, FinOps, observability, BCDR, monitoring, logging, and SIEM
- Architecture Design: You produce clear, considered architectural documentation, HLDs, LLDs, ADRs, and can lead solutions workshops, articulating complex ideas confidently to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Certifications: Hold relevant industry certifications, e.g. Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Microsoft Certified: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, Hashicorp Certified: Terraform Associate, Certified Kubernetes Administrator
- We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates. We actively encourage applications from women, ethnic minorities, and individuals with disabilities. We consider all flexible working arrangements, subject to the requirements of the role. Where reasonable adjustments are needed, we will strive to make changes to accommodate them
What the job involves
- We are seeking Principal Engineer (hands-on Architect) to lead client engagements and expand our Azure capability.

- You will work closely with AND's global cloud practice team and local leadership to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients
- Technology Engineering Leadership: You have a proven track record of leading complex Azure software engineering engagements. You excel at navigating enterprise-scale problem-solving, turning technical challenges into opportunities for our clients. You have a rapid development ethos, through iterative lean development practices
- Stakeholder Artistry: You are a master of client-facing delivery. You can translate complex cloud architectures into tangible business value, managing multi-vendor environments with a focus on long-term partnership
- Hands-on Mindset: You are comfortable leading engagements from the front, whether embedded directly in a customer team and guiding engineering teams. You bring a bias for delivery and are ready to roll up your sleeves when it matters helping teams succeed
- Quality Advocate: You take personal pride in the integrity of your work. You champion quality assurance, security, and performance as a mindset — ensuring the solutions we build for clients are robust, reliable, and respected
- Industry Stewardship: You are a lifelong learner who keeps a pulse on industry standards, emerging cloud patterns, and best practices
- Partnership Focus: You champion relationships with technology partners, whether established or new, working collaboratively to accelerate delivery and strengthen AND's competencies with our partners

Our take
As the need for digital transformation continues to grow, many organisations find themselves lacking the skills to keep up. AND Digital has stepped in to help bridge this gap, with a clear mission to close the world's digital skills shortage. Rather than simply delivering digital solutions, they focus on helping businesses understand how to work digitally, so they can continue to grow and adapt long after a project is finished.
The company is standing out from the crowd too, by working alongside their clients instead of working for them. Combining their own people with client teams into one collaborative unit, they identify challenges, build digital products, and share skills throughout the process, so clients can take full ownership of their apps, websites, and future digital work.
Unsurprisingly, this approach has had a strong impact and continues to drive AND Digital's growth. With cross-functional teams across the UK, the Netherlands, and the US East Coast, the company scales based on demand. And their city-based 'Club' model blends local, personalised service with the strength of a global organisation, putting AND Digital in a strong position for the future.
