DevOps SME (AWS)

6 Months Contract | £60 to £80 per hour (Inside IR35)

📍Remote Working

*Active SC Clearance is needed*

A top tier pioneering firm is looking for an experienced devOps SME to support a critical initiative for a UK Public Sector end-client. This is a pivotal role within a high-performing Agile environment, focusing on the delivery of a secure, scalable, and automated DevOps toolchain.

As an SME, you will not only be responsible for technical execution but will also provide the architectural foresight needed to maintain service stability and drive process optimisation. You will bridge the gap between complex engineering and business impact, ensuring that all cloud-native solutions are robust, secure, and performant.

Key Responsibilities

Create and manage automated scripts (using tools like Terraform or Ansible) so that complex computer systems can be set up quickly, reliably, and identically every time.

Watch for signs that the system is slowing down or running out of space, and fix these issues before they cause a crash or failure.

Ensure that security checks are a fundamental part of the build process from the very beginning, rather than an afterthought, to keep data and systems safe.

Build and look after the automated "conveyor belt" that tests and moves new software from the developer's desk to the live environment quickly and without errors.

Act as a mentor to the wider team, guiding DevOps strategy and influencing the adoption of modern standards across the delivery environment.Essential Skills

Hands on experience with AWS

Solid experience with terraform and Ansible

IaC

CICD - Advanced experience with Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions.

Familiarity with monitoring and logging stacks, including Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK

Strong proficiency in Docker and Kubernetes for application packaging and orchestration.

Proven track record of operating as a technical lead or SME within UK Public Sector projects

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cloud computing jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

New Cloud Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Powering the Digital Economy

In this article, we explore the new cloud computing employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK-based startups, scale-ups, and global companies expanding their footprint across Britain. These organisations have recently secured funding, launched major projects, or won strategic contracts—clear signals of hiring growth.
