Cloud Applications Engineer (FTC - 12 months)

The Cloud Applications Engineer supports the design, deployment, and optimization of cloud-based collaboration and productivity applications in the legal sector for an AVI-SPL client, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoom, and other SaaS tools. The role focuses on solution configuration, lifecycle management, and technical enablement. It involves close collaboration with internal teams and stakeholders to ensure applications are secure, scalable, and efficiently integrated. Successful execution drives application adoption, operational excellence, and improved user experience in legal environments.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

The Cloud Applications Engineer will own the design, build, and ongoing evolution of enterprise cloud collaboration environments for an AVI-SPL client within the legal sector. This includes Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and associated SaaS platforms.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who has previously built cloud application ecosystems from the ground up, not just administered existing environments. You will take full ownership of architecture, implementation, security design, and operational optimisation, while also leading delivery across projects and technical workstreams.

You will act as a technical authority, driving standards, shaping architecture, and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and aligned to enterprise governance requirements.

Day-To-Day Responsibilities:

· Own the end-to-end design and implementation of cloud application environments (M365, Google Workspace, SaaS ecosystem)

· Lead build-out and configuration of Microsoft 365 tenants, including Entra ID, Intune, and core identity infrastructure

· Architect and implement SSO, application registrations, and identity integration patterns across enterprise applications

· Own Conditional Access strategy, design, and rollout across user populations and environments

· Manage and evolve Entra ID architecture, including MFA, SSO, B2B/B2C, passwordless authentication, and identity lifecycle design

· Lead Intune design and deployment strategy, including endpoint build standards, MAM, App Protection, Apple Business Manager, and Android Enterprise

· Design and implement RBAC and identity governance models within Entra ID

· Own security configuration across Microsoft Purview, including Information Protection, Retention, Sensitivity Labels, and eDiscovery

· Lead SaaS application integration and lifecycle management across multiple platforms

· Develop and implement Logic Apps, automation workflows, and M365/Azure API integrations

· Identify, design, and deliver automation opportunities across cloud platforms

· Lead technical delivery of cloud transformation and deployment projects from design through to production rollout

· Act as technical lead across multiple concurrent workstreams, ensuring delivery alignment and quality

· Mentor and guide engineers while maintaining ownership of architecture and technical direction

· Work closely with stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable cloud solutions

Items to Consider:

· AVI-SPL reserves the right to alter work hours and work location as necessary. Work hours may vary based on client requirements and may include travel to various locations in support of the account.

· This position will generally work on customer sites and may deal with a construction site type of work environment.

· Strong PowerShell and automation capability

· Ability to take ownership of technical decisions and drive outcomes without heavy supervision
