A growing tech company in Dundee are on the lookout for a Cloud Engineer to join their hybrid cloud operations function.

They've recently undergone a successful reorganisation and, with a solid foundation in place and big growth plans ahead, they're now looking to strengthen the team by bringing in an experienced Cloud Engineer.

You'll be part of a collaborative engineering squad that plays a key role in delivering cloud and infrastructure services across a hybrid environment.

About the role

This is a hands on engineering position where you'll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of technologies, including public cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, VMware, and automation tooling such as Terraform and Ansible.

It's a varied environment, so no two days are quite the same - one day you might be handling technical change requests or resolving issues from the ticket queue, and the next you could be delivering customer projects from day one.

There's a strong emphasis on learning and development, with access to training budgets and certifications to help you grow your skills.

What you'll bring to the table

This is a generalist cloud engineering role, so while you don't need to know everything already, we're looking for someone with a solid technical foundation and a willingness to get stuck into different areas.

Ideally, you'll have:

Good exposure to cloud platforms like AWS or Azure
A solid understanding of VMware infrastructure
Experience with automation tools such as Terraform or Ansible
Knowledge of firewalls and networking (a big plus)
Comfort working with Windows or Linux system administration
Experience with monitoring tools like Zabbix

The role offers a salary around £40k (with flexibility for the right person), hybrid working from either their Dundee or Aberdeen office (1-2 days a week on site), and a strong benefits package that includes 34 days' holiday, matched pension, a tech scheme, and cycle to work scheme. Career development is genuinely encouraged, with clear examples of people progressing internally into more senior roles, or even sideways if you were keen to upskill in other areas.

If you're a Cloud Engineer looking to join a friendly, collaborative environment where you can genuinely develop your career, this could be a great fit!

Veterans in Cloud Computing: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into Cloud Careers

Introduction The United Kingdom’s public‑cloud market will exceed £45 billion by 2026 (Gartner forecast), fuelled by government digital‑service mandates, fintech scale‑ups, and the MOD’s own Cloud Strategic Roadmap 2025. From hybrid defence networks to NHS electronic health records, almost every mission‑critical workload is moving to AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). That explosive demand collides with a nationwide skills shortage—over 135,000 unfilled cloud roles in 2024, according to TechUK. Veterans already possess the security clearances, network know‑how, and operational discipline that cloud employers crave. This guide shows you how to translate your military experience into cloud‑native language, leverage Ministry of Defence (MoD) transition funding, and secure a rewarding second career (with salaries starting at £40k and rising above £100k for cleared DevSecOps leads).
