Excellent opportunity for a Senior Backend Engineer with strong Scala and functional programming experience to join a small, highly technical team offering broad ownership, autonomy, regular pay reviews, and the chance to influence backend architecture and technical direction.

This company are pioneers within a specialist technology-led insurance market. Having been acquired by a larger US-based organisation impressed by their product, platform, and technical capability, they are now looking to grow their permanent engineering team as they continue scaling their systems and improving the reliability, maintainability, and operability of their platform.

In this role you will work across backend Scala development, architecture, infrastructure, APIs, data flows, and production systems supporting areas such as broker-facing products, pricing and underwriting workflows, claims processes, internal tooling, automation, and operational systems.

You will also have experience with AWS infrastructure, and CI/CD, Terraform, APIs, databases, and production support would be beneficial. Candidates must have full right to work and live in the UK and be comfortable working autonomously in a small, high-trust engineering environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing business where you can stay close to the code, take ownership of important backend systems, influence architectural decisions, and work on complex, real-world products in a regulated, data-rich environment.

The Role:

Backend development using Scala and functional programming approaches

Working across APIs, microservices, data flows, integrations, and distributed systems

Improving backend architecture, scalability, resilience, observability, and maintainability

Collaborating with product, frontend, underwriting, claims, operations, and broker success teams

The Person:

Strong commercial Scala development experience

Good understanding of functional programming principles

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.
