About SCC Partner Cloud
SCC recognise that many organisations across multiple sectors need the power of Azure to realise their full potential. Many businesses either lack the capacity or capability to successfully architect, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure, or would prefer to focus on their core business rather than invest in training and maintaining the internal talent required to benefit from automation and cloud tooling.
SCC is forming a new partner cloud practice with an initial focus on Azure and AWS platforms. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the tiger team who will be architecting, deploying and maintaining our support and deployment methods, tooling and automation for our new partner cloud practice. You will work in a small progressive “startup” team, challenging yourself and your colleagues technically to accelerate the launch our partner cloud offering. This will be especially exciting for experts in design and implementation of Azure infrastructure.
