You will be working with modern cloud-native technologies to design, build and maintain resilient platforms, automate infrastructure and deployment processes and help engineering teams deliver software securely and efficiently. The environment is highly technical, fast-moving and low on unnecessary bureaucracy, with the opportunity to work on complex projects where security, performance and reliability genuinely matter.

There is flexibility above the advertised salary for particularly strong individuals with the right technical background and clearance.

Designing, building and maintaining secure cloud-native platforms
Developing automation for infrastructure provisioning, configuration and operational workflows
Building and improving CI/CD pipelines
Implementing Infrastructure-as-Code
Working extensively with Kubernetes / containerised environments
Embedding security throughout engineering and software delivery processes
Supporting modern DevSecOps practices

AWS certification at Associate level or above would be beneficial but is not essential where the practical experience is strong.
Experience working within high-security, government, defence, national security or similarly regulated environments would obviously be advantageous.

Clearance: Due to the nature of the projects, candidates must hold current active eDV security clearance, or at a minimum DV clearance with willingness to undergo eDV.
