Cloud / DevOps Engineers (DV/eDV) – Multiple National Security Roles
Locations: Opportunities across all compass points, including Cheltenham/Gloucester, London, Hampshire, Bristol and Manchester
Level: Mid-level through to Senior / Lead
Clearance: Active DV / eDV required across the majority of roles
I’m currently supporting multiple Cloud, DevOps and Platform hires across a mix of specialist SMEs, engineering-led consultancies and established National Security teams.
Different organisations. Different working patterns. Different stages of growth.
The common thread is modern engineering, good technical people and opportunities to keep progressing.
Current demand
- Cloud Engineering – AWS/Azure, Infrastructure as Code, secure cloud environments
- DevOps / DevSecOps – Terraform, CI/CD, automation, Kubernetes, Linux
- Platform Engineering / SRE – reliability, observability, container platforms and platform tooling
- Senior / Lead roles – broader technical ownership, architecture and mentoring
Why people are moving
The conversations I’m having tend to be less about salary and more about:
- Getting out of BAU-heavy roles
- Broader technical exposure
- Better engineering culture
- More ownership and influence
- Stronger progression
- More flexibility where programmes allow
We’ve already helped engineers join several of these teams, so I can give you a view based on what people actually tell us after they start, not just what’s written in the job description.
Clearance
Most of these roles support live National Security programmes, so active DV or eDV clearance is typically required.
