Java Software Engineer II

Role: Python Engineer
Location: Nottingham
Working Arrangement: Hybrid working policy of twice per week in the office ideally, or remote, depending on how far away you live
Salary: Up to £55k plus benefits
You’re a Python Software Engineer with a deep love for the language and its applications- you love making software and have worked in a DevOps environment, and have perhaps built some cloud infrastructure solutions, too.
You are someone who loves to automate mundane tasks, make software and systems that are scalable, highly available, and robust, and making sure whatever you’re working on is secure, through things like vulnerability scanning, threat analysis, and patching, is high on your priority list.
Whilst you love new shiny tech and always make a point of having a play around with the latest and greatest, you are a pragmatic person who knows that the best tool for the job might not be the latest buzzword- you know that sometimes you can’t beat the tried and tested methods!
Tech-wise, Python is number one on your list, but you also can’t get enough of Kubernetes, you are a big Linux fan, and have been using a host of Cloud and DevOps tools like Helm, Ansible, and AWS/GCP/OCI/Azure etc, for some time and, more recently have added in some Terraform, GitOps and Argo CD to your arsenal, and you have a great time playing around and seeing what you can do with them. You probably run a home server and have a whale of a time building home automations, with a nerdy project on the go to test out some of the myriad new technologies out there!
If this describes you, read on; this is your next role!
In this role, you’ll join a small development team, which is made up of a mix of differing levels of engineers for you to learn from, share your knowledge, and collaborate with, under the management of an Engineering Manager.
Being fully hands-on keyboard, you will be adding new features to a just-released product, and, further down the line, there’s scope for you to get involved in R&D and Proof of Concept (POC) projects.
You’ll be using the tech mentioned above- Python, Kubernetes, Helm, Ansible, AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI, etc.
Whilst you’ll use AWS and potentially OCI/GCP/Azure for some parts of your role, you’ll also be working with private cloud and on-prem models, too, due to the nature of the sensitive work they do and the customers they serve.
Working here will see you working on some very cool products that help the defence, government, and other critical infrastructure sectors to do their important work without interference from bad actors.
Due to the nature of what you’ll be making, you’ll need to be eligible and willing to obtain SC clearance for this role.
If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, please apply now or get in touch to find out more!
We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background

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.
