Arcas Technology are supporting one of our SME clients with the appointment of a Senior Infrastructure Engineer. They’re investing heavily in modernisation, cloud adoption, and infrastructure uplift, and they’ve asked us to identify someone with deep experience across virtualisation, Windows Server, SQL, Citrix, and cloud-hosted applications.

The Role

You’ll work closely with the Head of IT to lead infrastructure projects, modernise legacy systems, and drive cloud-focused improvements. The environment is a mix of on-premises and cloud, and the business is looking for someone who can bring structure, engineering depth, and technical leadership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead infrastructure projects across virtualisation, server upgrades, cloud migrations, and platform modernisation
  • Own and enhance the Windows Server, VMware, and storage environment
  • Support and optimise SQL Server environments, including HA configurations
  • Contribute to cloud-hosted application delivery (Azure-hosted solutions, D365/AX)
  • Improve and maintain Citrix/RDS environments where required
  • Oversee data centre operations, virtual server deployments, and core infrastructure services
  • Act as the senior technical escalation point for complex issues
  • Work with stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver robust solutions
  • Drive best practice across security, patching, monitoring, and resilience
  • Produce documentation, standards, and contribute to long-term technical planning

Tech Environment

  • Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy
  • VMware (vSphere/ESXi), virtualisation, storage
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Citrix (Metaframe, XenDesktop)
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX / D365 (on-prem and Azure-hosted)
  • Azure services, cloud-hosted applications
  • Networking fundamentals (switching, firewalls, VPN)
  • Backup, DR, monitoring, patching tools

What We’re Looking For

  • Deep experience in infrastructure engineering across Windows, VMware, SQL, and virtualisation
  • Strong background delivering infrastructure projects end-to-end
  • Experience with cloud-hosted applications (Azure, D365/AX)
  • Comfortable working in a senior technical role with autonomy and ownership
  • Ability to modernise environments and improve stability, performance, and security
  • Strong communicator who can work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Someone who enjoys solving complex problems and shaping technical direction

If this sounds like the right next step for you, 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.
