Build Cloud Platforms That Truly Matter

We’re hiring multiple AWS Cloud Native DevOps Engineers to join a high-performing engineering practice delivering secure, scalable, cloud-native solutions across some of the UK’s most complex and mission-critical environments.

This is an opportunity to work on projects that genuinely make an impact — building resilient AWS infrastructure, driving automation at scale, and helping organisations modernise through cutting-edge DevOps and cloud engineering practices.

If you thrive in highly technical environments, enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, and want to work with modern cloud-native tooling and DevSecOps methodologies, this role offers the chance to accelerate your career alongside some of the best engineers in the industry.

The Role

• Design, build, and optimise secure AWS cloud environments
• Develop Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi
• Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI, Jenkins, or ArgoCD
• Deploy and manage containerised applications with Docker and Kubernetes
• Implement observability and monitoring solutions using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and CloudWatch
• Improve platform scalability, resilience, automation, and security posture
• Work within Agile delivery teams on large-scale digital transformation programmes
• Contribute to DevSecOps best practices and Zero Trust security models

What We’re Looking For

• AWS infrastructure deployment and management
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / CloudFormation / Pulumi)
• Scripting and automation using Python, Bash, or PowerShell
• AWS networking knowledge (VPCs, subnets, security groups)
• Monitoring, logging, and observability tooling
• Strong troubleshooting and optimisation skills
• Experience working in secure or regulated environments

Why Join?

This is more than a DevOps role — it’s an opportunity to work at scale, influence engineering standards, and continuously develop your technical expertise.

You’ll benefit from:

• Access to industry-leading training and certifications
• Collaborative engineering culture with modern tooling and practices
• Opportunities to work on nationally significant programmes

Due to the nature of these projects candidates must have Active SC (Security Check) Clearance and Sole UK Nationality (dual nationality/citizenship cannot be considered for this position).
