Infrastructure Engineer / Systems Engineer

£45,000 – £50,000+ | Portsmouth | Full-time onsite

You’re the person people turn to when the issue isn’t straightforward.

The one who understands how the environment fits together.

The one who doesn’t just fix the problem but thinks about why it happened and how to stop it from happening again.

This role is for an Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys a mix of 3rd line BAU support and meaningful project delivery across the systems / infrastructure engineering environment, within an organisation that takes IT, security, and resilience seriously.

It’s a hands-on, trusted role where your technical judgement matters.

What’s in it for you?

  • Salary: £45,000 – £50,000+
  • Location: Portsmouth (full-time onsite)
  • Role type: Infrastructure / systems engineering
  • Balance: BAU ownership alongside structured project work
  • Exposure: Infrastructure, Microsoft cloud, endpoint management and cyber security
  • Influence: Real input into standards, tooling, and how things are done

What you’ll be doing

  • Acting as a senior technical escalation point across the infrastructure estate
  • Supporting and improving on-prem systems including servers, storage, and core services
  • Delivering infrastructure and security-focused projects from design through to implementation
  • Working across the Microsoft stack, including:
  • Microsoft 365
  • Intune and device management
  • Entra ID / identity and access
  • SCCM
  • Playing an active role in cyber security initiatives, including endpoint protection, vulnerability management, and responding to security findings
  • Supporting penetration testing activity and helping implement recommendations
  • Contributing to change control, documentation, and technical standards
  • Working closely with senior stakeholders to explain risks, options, and decisions in plain English
  • Helping improve resilience, security posture, and long-term infrastructure planning

What you’ll bring

  • Strong experience in a 3rd line / infrastructure engineering role
  • Solid knowledge of Windows Server environments, on-prem infrastructure, and core networking concepts
  • Good hands-on exposure to Microsoft 365, Intune, Entra ID, and endpoint management
  • Awareness of cyber security principles, vulnerability management, and modern endpoint protection
  • Confidence delivering technical projects, not just supporting them
  • A methodical approach to change, documentation, and risk
  • Clear communication skills and the confidence to challenge when needed

This role suits someone who enjoys being trusted with complex environments, likes getting stuck into both technical problems and projects, and wants to work somewhere that values doing things properly.

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.
