We're looking for talented platform engineers to join a collaborative, forward-thinking team delivering critical cloud services for a major UK government programme based in Manchester.

This is a hybrid role, combining time across home, client site, and office-offering flexibility while keeping you close to impactful, real-world delivery.

Driving standardisation, reuse, and automation through infrastructure blueprints
Working in Agile teams, contributing to sprints and shared outcomes
Collaborating closely with other engineers to deliver secure, resilient services
Continuously improving platforms using modern DevOps practices and tooling
Contributing to internal best practices and engineering standardsWhat We're Looking For

Strong experience in cloud platform engineering (AWS and/or Azure)
Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform)
Experience with version control systems (e.g. GitHub)
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation tooling
Exposure to Kubernetes, Ansible, and containerised environments
Solid understanding of infrastructure and networking concepts
Experience working in Agile environmentsWhat's in It for You
£55,000 base salary + comprehensive benefits package
Unlimited training budget for certifications (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and more)
Ongoing professional development with clear career progression
Private healthcare options and wellbeing support
Flexible, hybrid working model
Opportunity to work on impactful, secure government projectsWhy Join?

You'll be joining a collaborative engineering culture that values innovation, continuous learning, and real-world impact. This is your chance to work on meaningful projects, sharpen your technical expertise, and grow within a supportive, high-performing team.

If you're passionate about cloud engineering and want to make a tangible difference, we'd love to hear from you

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
