Benefits

Competitive salary Modern engineering environment Supportive technical culture Genuine progression opportunities Good balance of project work and operational engineering

We are currently working with a growing technology business in the healthcare software space who are looking to add a Platform Engineer / DevOps Engineer to their engineering team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building reliable infrastructure, improving deployment processes, and working in a modern cloud-native environment.

The business is investing heavily in new cloud-based products and platforms, and they’re looking for an engineer who can help scale and improve the environments that support both development and production systems.

The Role:

You’ll be working closely with software engineering teams to:

  • Build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure
  • Improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
  • Support Kubernetes-based environments and containerised applications
  • Enhance platform reliability, monitoring, and observability
  • Troubleshoot production and infrastructure issues
  • Contribute to infrastructure security and operational best practices
  • Drive continuous improvement across tooling and platform operations

This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership and the opportunity to influence how platforms are built and operated moving forward.

Tech Environment:

The stack includes technologies such as:

  • Kubernetes
  • Linux
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • GitOps / Argo CD
  • Bitbucket & Bamboo
  • MongoDB / PostgreSQL
  • Kafka
  • OpenSearch
  • Bash / PowerShell scripting
  • Cloud infrastructure

They’re open to candidates from DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, Cloud Engineering, or strong Infrastructure backgrounds.

What They’re Looking For:

Key experience includes:

  • Commercial experience in a DevOps, Platform, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering role
  • Strong Linux administration skills
  • Experience with CI/CD and deployment automation
  • Exposure to cloud-hosted infrastructure
  • Kubernetes/container experience
  • Scripting/automation experience
  • Understanding of monitoring, logging, and operational support

Experience with GitOps, Argo CD, Kafka, or database platforms would be beneficial but isn’t essential.

In return the Company offers:

  • A competitive salary and benefits package
  • Modern engineering environment
  • Strong focus on automation and cloud-native technologies
  • Stable and growing business
  • Meaningful products used within healthcare
  • Supportive technical culture with genuine progression opportunities
  • Good balance of project work and operational engineering

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.
