You’ll be part of a dedicated Professional Services team, working closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders to deliver secure, modern workplace environments to best practice.

As a Professional Services Engineer, you will:

  • Work with customers to understand their requirements and translate them into secure, scalable Microsoft cloud solutions.

  • Design and implement Modern Workplace solutions using Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune and related security technologies.

  • Configure and manage endpoint and mobile device management (MDM), ensuring devices are secure and compliant.

  • Implement identity and access management (IAM) using Entra ID / Azure AD, Conditional Access and RBAC.

  • Deliver security and compliance controls, including data protection, DLP, encryption and information protection policies.

  • Configure and tune Azure security services and monitoring tools to detect and respond to threats.

  • Produce clear technical documentation, security playbooks and configuration guides for client environments.

  • Support and mentor other members of the Professional Services team, sharing knowledge and best practice.

  • Stay current with Microsoft security / Modern Workplace features, threats and industry trends.

  • Information protection, data security, DLP and encryption

  • Azure security services and security configurations

  • Monitoring and logging tools (e.g. Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights).

  • Proven track record of designing and implementing client solutions (not just BAU support).

  • Solid troubleshooting skills and the ability to solve complex cloud and security issues.

  • Comfortable working directly with customers, with strong written and verbal communication skills

Neurodiversity in Cloud Computing Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cloud computing sits at the heart of modern tech. Almost every digital product runs on someone’s cloud platform – from banking apps & streaming services to AI tools & online shops. Behind those platforms are teams of cloud engineers, architects, SREs, security specialists & more. These roles demand problem-solvers who can think in systems, spot patterns, stay calm under pressure & imagine better ways to build & run infrastructure. That makes cloud computing a natural fit for many neurodivergent people – including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you are neurodivergent & considering a cloud career, you might have heard messages like “you’re too distracted for engineering”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for operations”. In reality, many traits that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia are exactly what cloud teams need. This guide is written for cloud computing job seekers in the UK. We will cover: What neurodiversity means in a cloud context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to cloud roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you should have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cloud computing – & how to turn “different thinking” into a professional superpower.
