Secure National Infrastructure
We are seeking high-caliber Infrastructure / SRE Engineers to design, build, and operate mission-critical production infrastructure supporting vital UK government and national security missions. This is an environment operating at startup velocity to solve complex, national-scale engineering problems with true architectural ownership and autonomy from day one.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Taking end-to-end operational and architectural ownership of high-security, distributed production platforms.
- Architecting, deploying, and maintaining resilient container runtimes using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Designing automated CI/CD deployment workflows and building internal tooling to optimize developer velocity and platform resilience.
- Developing automation, monitoring, and telemetry infrastructure to ensure ultra-low downtime and rapid incident response across complex distributed systems.
- Driving platform innovation and automation initiatives with modern tooling, cutting through operational bureaucracy.
What We’re Looking For:
- 1–5 years of commercial experience in Infrastructure Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Platform Operations.
- Software-minded engineering approach: strong hands-on experience building, automating, and deploying production architectures (not just operational support/debugging).
- Demonstrated ownership mindset: comfort working in rapid iterations, driving solutions independently, and operating in secure, high-trust environments.
- Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related discipline from a top-50 university.
Must-Haves:
- Active UK Developed Vetting (DV) security clearance.
- Sole British nationality (dual nationals cannot be considered due to national security compliance).
- Hands-on expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration in production.
- Production Linux systems engineering and cloud/distributed systems delivery (AWS, GCP, Azure).
- Residency or willingness to relocate within 30 minutes of the secure London site.
Location & Working Setup:
- Hybrid model based out of the London
