About The Role

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Senior Azure Integration and Data Platform Developer to work for our client within the Public Sector sector. This is initially a 6 month contract with very good prospects to extend and will be a hybrid role, requiring 2 days per week in the London office. The role will be based in London.

Contribute to CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps.
