About Us

Toucanberry Tech is a boutique consultancy specialising in the reinsurance sector. We combine deep industry knowledge with strong technical delivery to help clients modernise systems, automate processes, and build scalable, intelligent platforms.

The Role

This is a hands-on role supporting a mature, production platform, not a greenfield build. The system processes insurance documents, uses AI to extract and enrich data, and integrates with third-party tools for catastrophe modelling, flood analysis, and risk scoring.

You’ll take ownership of the Azure infrastructure alongside the engineering team, focusing on incremental improvements, stability, and ongoing evolution of the platform.

• Manage and enhance a live Azure-based production environment
• Lead the migration from Ansible to Terraform
• Support the shift to an event-driven architecture using Azure Service Bus
• Help evaluate and integrate a third-party AI solution
• Troubleshoot issues and optimise performance and reliability
• Collaborate with engineers to deliver iterative platform improvements

Requirements

Essential:

• Strong hands-on Azure experience
• Proven Terraform expertise in production environments
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines
• Solid troubleshooting and optimisation skills in live systems
• Working knowledge of Ansible (ideally migration experience)
  

Nice to Have:

• Python experience, particularly in data or ML contexts
• Exposure to Azure ML or Azure Service Bus
• Experience integrating third-party AI solutions
• Background in software engineering prior to platform/infrastructure roles

Benefits

• Fully Remote
• Outside IR35
• B2B Contract
• Long Term
• Mid Azure Platform Engineer - c£250/day
