Job Description:

The vKS Application Engineering team is responsible for enabling enterprise success with vSphere Kubernetes Service (vKS) as part of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). Our mission is to accelerate adoption of vKS as the enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform for modern applications in private cloud.

As a vKS Application Engineer, you will be on the front lines with enterprise customers, driving the successful adoption of vSphere Kubernetes Service (vKS) on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). This is a hands-on, customer-facing role focused on designing and validating solutions, running proof-of-concepts, and guiding customers through their modernization journey.

Key Accountabilities

  • Act as a trusted advisor for enterprise customers, guiding them through the design, validation, and deployment of vKS solutions on VCF.

  • Collaborate closely with field account teams to align solution architecture with customer priorities and drive successful engagement outcomes.

  • Lead technical discovery sessions, workshops, and proof-of-concepts to validate vKS architectures and demonstrate business value.

  • Partner with sales to jointly develop customer proposals that address modernization goals, workload placement, and operational transformation.

  • Provide prescriptive guidance on Kubernetes adoption, DevOps/CI-CD integration, and enterprise requirements such as scalability, security, and disaster recovery.

  • Build and share reference architectures, deployment patterns, and technical assets to accelerate customer adoption of vKS.

  • Deliver clear, compelling technical presentations to diverse audiences, from architects to executive decision makers.

  • Stay current on industry trends, competitor offerings, and evolving enterprise requirements to position vKS effectively.

  • Collaborate with product management and engineering to provide field feedback that influences roadmap direction.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Experience in application engineering or technical sales for enterprise IT, cloud, or application platforms.

  • Strong expertise in Kubernetes, containers, and VMware Cloud Foundation (vSphere, vSAN, NSX as foundation).

  • 8–10+ years in technology-related roles, with depth in enterprise IT architecture, application modernization, or cloud-native platforms.

  • Demonstrated success working directly with enterprise customers to deliver technical solutions and drive platform adoption.

  • Excellent communication, storytelling, and presentation skills with the ability to engage both technical and business leaders.

  • Strong collaboration skills, able to work hand-in-hand with sales teams to advance customer opportunities.

  • Proven ability to identify challenges, design solutions, and articulate value in business terms.

  • Enthusiastic self-starter with curiosity, drive, and the ability to thrive in dynamic environments.

  • Ability to travel up to 50% of the time

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field; or equivalent experience.

  • Deep knowledge of VMware Cloud Foundation and Kubernetes platforms.

  • Certifications in cloud-native or public cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, Red Hat OpenShift, etc.) are highly desirable.

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.
