Driving standardisation, reuse, and automation through infrastructure blueprints

Working in Agile teams, contributing to sprints and shared outcomes

Collaborating closely with other engineers to deliver secure, resilient services

Continuously improving platforms using modern DevOps practices and tooling

Contributing to internal best practices and engineering standardsWhat We're Looking For

Strong experience in cloud platform engineering (AWS and/or Azure)

Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform)

Experience with version control systems (e.g. GitHub)

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation tooling

Exposure to Kubernetes, Ansible, and containerised environments

Solid understanding of infrastructure and networking concepts

Experience working in Agile environmentsWhat's in It for You

£55,000 base salary + comprehensive benefits package

Unlimited training budget for certifications (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and more)

Ongoing professional development with clear career progression

Private healthcare options and wellbeing support

Flexible, hybrid working model

Opportunity to work on impactful, secure government projectsWhy Join?

You'll be joining a collaborative engineering culture that values innovation, continuous learning, and real-world impact. This is your chance to work on meaningful projects, sharpen your technical expertise, and grow within a supportive, high-performing team.
