Senior Azure Cloud Engineer Amsterdam

Vacancy: Senior Azure Cloud Engineer Amsterdam

• Do you want to help bring a modern, cloud-only Azure platform into production, then take real ownership of how it is secured, operated and improved over time?
• Do you get energy from working on the identity and connectivity layer that keeps global operations moving, rather than only maintaining a small corner of someone else’s platform?
• Are Entra ID B2B, Conditional Access, Azure Firewall, Private Endpoints and secure PaaS connectivity the kind of hands-on Azure challenges where you do your best work?
• And do a senior ownership role, international stakeholders, hybrid working, a salary of up to €110.000 + up to 16% bonus sound like the next step you are looking for?

Then this is a role you should seriously consider.

Your employer: technology that keeps the physical world moving

You will join the Amsterdam office of a globally known industrial powerhouse active in sectors that matter far beyond software. Think energy, transport, industrial technology and critical infrastructure. This is an organisation that helps build, power and support systems used around the world.

Behind an organisation of that scale sits a critical operational backbone. Money needs to move. International entities need to connect securely. External applications need to exchange data safely. The Azure platform you help bring to life will sit beneath the financial lifeblood of a global industrial group. When it works well, the organisation can keep investing, building, delivering and moving across the world.

That is where you come in.

Rather than inheriting a dusty server estate full of old technology, you will help bring a modern cloud-only Azure environment into production. Built around secure identity federation, private connectivity and managed Azure services.

Your role: Senior Azure Cloud Engineer Amsterdam

As Senior Azure Cloud Engineer, you will become one of the key technical owners of a secure Azure platform supporting global operations.

You will work closely with experienced cloud specialists to bring the target environment into production, then take ownership of its further evolution. This means working on the security and connectivity layer that allows people, systems and external partners to access the right services in the right way.

You will work in an international setting, collaborating with stakeholders across multiple countries, including operational teams, application specialists, external software providers and group entities.

That means this role is not just about configuring cloud services. You will become the technical person people turn to when secure access, connectivity or integrations need to work properly across organisational and geographical boundaries.

At the same time, you will be based in a high-quality Amsterdam office, close to the local business stakeholders, while retaining the flexibility to work from home 2 to 3 days per week.

You will work with modern Azure servicessuch as Entra ID B2B, Conditional Access, Azure Firewall, VNets, Private DNS, Private Endpoints, Key Vault, Defender, Azure Web Apps, Functions, Logic Apps, Container Instances, Azure SQL and Azure DevOps.

The real engineering challenge is not simply deploying cloud services.

It is making identity, networking, applications and external integrations work together securely in a global environment where reliability matters.

You will get the chance to think about questions such as:

• How do we securely connect users and systems from multiple international entities without creating an identity mess?
• How do we bring external applications and integrations into a protected Azure environment without weakening security?
• How do we make cloud operations easier, safer and more automated as the platform evolves?

Because the local team is small, you will have visible influence. You will not disappear into a large corporate IT department or spend your days maintaining old infrastructure.

This is a role for someone who enjoys hands-on Azure engineering, likes ownership and wants to work on security and connectivity that actually matter.

What is asked?

• 5+ years of experience as an Azure Cloud Engineer, Azure Platform Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure Engineer or similar
• Strong practical experience with Microsoft Entra ID, especially B2B guest access, Conditional Access, authentication flows and identity governance
• Solid Azure networking experience, including Azure Firewall, VNets, Private DNS, Private Endpoints and secure connectivity
• Experience operating cloud platforms where security, reliability and careful change management matter
• You enjoy troubleshooting complex identity, networking and connectivity issues
• You can explain technical subjects clearly to non-technical stakeholders and external partners
• Experience with Azure PaaS services such as App Services, Functions, Logic Apps, Storage, Azure SQL or Container Instances is a strong advantage
• Experience with Key Vault, Defender, Log Analytics, Application Insights or Azure DevOps is a plus
• Fluent English is required.

What is offered?

• Between €90.000 and €110.000 gross per year, depending on experience + bonus up to16%
• 27 holiday days
• 2 to 3 years working from home
• OV business card
• High-quality work equipment
• Strong learning and development budget for training, certifications and conferences
• No standard evening or weekend standby rotation
• Visa sponsorship possibilities for qualifying senior candidates already living and working in the Netherlands
