Location: Remote | Type: Contract (£450/day) | Duration: Six-month rolling contract

Our client, a reputable organisation, is hiring for a skilled SC Cleared Security Architect to lead the design and assurance of secure architectures within containerised and virtualised environments.

What you'll be doing:

* Develop secure architecture designs for container platforms like Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Docker.

* Strengthen security controls across VMware, Hyper-V, and cloud-native virtualisation.

* Produce high-quality architectural artefacts, including HLDs and security patterns, aligned with NCSC guidance and industry standards.

* Conduct security assessments, threat modelling, and validate platform configurations for compliance and risk.

* Embed security controls within CI/CD pipelines and advise on container image lifecycle management.

* Evaluate tools for container security scanning, runtime protection, secrets management, and network security.

* Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, and security teams, acting as SME for containerisation and virtualisation security.

* Communicate complex concepts to diverse stakeholders and influence architectural decisions at senior levels.

What you'll bring:

* Active SC clearance.

* Proven experience as a Security Architect in large or secure environments.

* Deep knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, VMware, Hyper-V, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

* Strong understanding of network security, Zero Trust, IAM, workload isolation, and micro-segmentation.

* Familiarity with security standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and government policies.

* Desirable skills include OpenShift, enterprise Kubernetes, security tooling (Falco, Istio), automation (Terraform, Ansible), and relevant certifications (CCSK, CISSP, CKS).

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on critical security architecture projects within a dynamic environment. If you're a proactive security professional with the right clearance and expertise, we'd love to hear from you.

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.
