Software Engineer – National Security Programme

Enhanced DV Cleared

Ncounter is supporting a specialist consultancy delivering secure technology solutions into highly sensitive National Security environments. We are now seeking an experienced DevOps Engineer with a strong Java background to join a complex, high-impact programme, blending software engineering with modern platform and cloud practices. This role brings together hands-on engineering with DevOps ownership across a secure, distributed environment.

This is a genuinely technical role where you will contribute to both the development of Java-based services and the engineering of the platforms that support them. You will work across CI/CD pipelines, containerised environments, and cloud infrastructure, ensuring systems are scalable, secure, and resilient within highly controlled settings.

You will collaborate closely with engineers and architects to embed DevOps principles into the development lifecycle, improving automation, deployment, and operational performance across the platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and support Java-based applications within a secure environment

• Design and improve CI/CD pipelines and automated delivery workflows

• Work with containerisation and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes

• Support cloud-based infrastructure, primarily within AWS environments

• Drive improvements in observability, monitoring, and system reliability

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure clean, scalable engineering practices

What We’re Looking For:

• Active Enhanced DV clearance – essential

• Strong software engineering background in Java

• Proven DevOps experience across CI/CD, automation, and infrastructure

• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and modern cloud platforms

• Strong understanding of Linux-based systems

• Experience working in secure or highly regulated environments

This opportunity offers the chance to work on mission-critical systems where engineering quality, security, and reliability are paramount. You will be part of a collaborative, technically driven team with real ownership over how systems are built and operated.

If you are an eDV cleared engineer looking to combine Java development with DevOps expertise in a high-impact environment, please get in touch for a confidential discussion.

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.

In this article, we explore the new cloud computing employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK-based startups, scale-ups, and global companies expanding their footprint across Britain.
