The job posting is a little weird. I assume it is supporting the Met Office Cray 
and then they mention SAP.... 

Last I heard (from an inside source) that the Met Office's new supercomputing
provider was .. wait for it ... Microsoft....

"good value for money" was the argument I heard they got the contract ...

Hybrid on-prem cloud with off-prem Azure assistance for temporary scaling up of compute power was what I heard.

    Sounds about right - rather them than me though ...
