The Opportunity:

You’ll join an experienced, collaborative consultancy team delivering greenfield, enterprise-scale digital services for high-profile public and private sector clients.

This opportunity is ideal for a practical, adaptable Geospatial Full Stack Engineer who enjoys working across disciplines and solving complex problems and challenges that will have a real-world impact.

Collaboration sits at the heart of how our client operates, so you’ll be partnering closely with colleagues across Software Engineering, User-Centred Design, Delivery Management, Data Science and Live Services to deliver outcomes that genuinely make a difference in today’s society.

As a consultancy, they are technology-agnostic by design, focusing on choosing the right tools for each problem, rather than forcing one stack everywhere.

Their teams regularly work with .NET, Java, Python, Node.js, AWS and Azure, giving you genuine scope to broaden your skills and develop your career across a range of languages and platforms.

Many of their projects also involve Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and open-source geospatial technologies, helping clients unlock the value of location-based data through mapping, spatial analysis and data-driven decision making.

Skills and Experience:

Essential

* 3+ years’ experience in a Full Stack Engineering role

* Strong development skills in .NET, Java or Python, alongside modern JavaScript frameworks/libraries

* Experience working in Agile environments (Scrum, Kanban, TDD)

* Solid understanding of architectural and design patterns, including microservices and serverless

* Hands-on experience designing and delivering solutions on AWS or Azure

* Experience working with GIS systems or geospatial data, and familiarity with tools such as Leaflet, OpenLayers, QGIS, GeoServer, PostGIS, etc.

* A collaborative mindset and experience working in multi-disciplinary teams

Desirable

* Experience working in a consultancy environment

* Exposure to public sector projects

* Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (e.g. Jenkins, Terraform)

* Awareness of the Digital Service Standard and Technology Code of Practice, particularly in geospatial or public sector contexts

Role and Responsibilities:

This is a varied role suited to someone who enjoys the pace, responsibility and collaboration of consultancy.

You will be involved with the following types of activity:

* Design and deliver high-quality solutions: building, enhancing and maintaining software, infrastructure and deployment pipelines that are robust, secure and scalable. Projects may include solutions involving geospatial data, GIS platforms and open-source mapping tools.

* Work collaboratively across disciplines: partnering with Senior and Lead Engineers, Delivery Managers, Designers and Data Scientists to shape solutions, contribute to technical documentation and deliver against agreed plans.

* Apply standards and best practice: follow established engineering approaches, contribute accurate technical estimates and proactively identify and escalate risks or issues.

* Communicate clearly and build relationships: present ideas, prototypes and progress updates to stakeholders, while building strong working relationships with colleagues, clients and partner organisations.

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

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. 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 Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three 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.
