Benefits

Flexible working Opportunity to work on meaningful technical problems Strong engineering culture Exposure to scalable systems Autonomous and collaborative team

We’re working with a growing product-led tech business that’s building software used at scale, where reliability and pragmatism matter just as much as clean code. They’re looking for a backend-leaning engineer who enjoys solving real operational problems, owning systems in production, and working with a team that values thoughtful engineering over hype.

Role Overview:

  • Location: Hybrid - London
  • Package: £75,000 - £90,000 p/a + benefits
  • Industry: SaaS / Technology

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing, building, and maintaining backend services and APIs used in production environments
  • Owning systems end-to-end, including deployment, monitoring, stability, and ongoing improvements
  • Working across multiple third-party integrations and external dependencies
  • Troubleshooting issues from logs, metrics, and real-world system behaviour
  • Improving resilience through retries, reconciliation processes, idempotency, and failure handling
  • Collaborating with engineers across the stack to deliver reliable, scalable features
  • Contributing to existing platforms and codebases with a focus on maintainability and long-term quality
  • Supporting operational improvements across cloud-native or self-managed infrastructure environments

Main Skills Needed:

  • Strong backend engineering experience using languages such as C#, Go, Java, or similar
  • Proven experience designing and maintaining APIs and production systems
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, integration challenges, and operational reliability
  • Comfortable debugging complex issues and tracing failures across services and dependencies
  • Experience working within SaaS, platform, scale-up, or high-volume product environments
  • Ability to work with modern frontend code when needed, even if frontend isn’t your primary focus
  • Pragmatic approach to engineering decisions with a strong understanding of trade-offs
  • Experience maintaining and improving existing systems rather than only greenfield projects
  • Stable career history with evidence of long-term contribution within teams and products

What’s in It for You:

  • Opportunity to work on meaningful technical problems with real production impact
  • Strong engineering culture focused on practicality, ownership, and collaboration
  • Exposure to scalable systems, integrations, and operationally mature environments
  • Flexible working setup with a team that values autonomy and trust
  • Chance to contribute to a growing platform without unnecessary process or bureaucracy
  • A technically credible environment where calm, thoughtful engineers thrive

Think it could be a fit? We’d love to hear from you.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

By applying you are confirming you are happy to be added to the Addition Solutions mailing list regarding future suitable positions. You can opt out of this at any time simply by contacting one of our consultants.

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.
