Hiring trends we’re seeing for 2025

• Multicloud & sovereign cloud skills surge. Firms seek engineers fluent in AWS, Azure & GCP plus familiarity with UK sovereignty controls.

• FinOps becomes mandatory. Cost‑optimisation expertise now appears in one in four cloud‑architect postings, reflecting budget scrutiny.

• Security clearance carries a premium. DV‑ or SC‑cleared cloud engineers command up to a 30 % salary uplift due to public‑sector demand.

• Hybrid beats fully remote. Three days in the office is the new norm, though many SaaS scale‑ups (Grafana Labs, GitLab) remain remote‑first.
