We're working with an award-winning MSP in Stoke-on-Trent that is continuing to invest in its cloud and infrastructure capabilities. As part of this growth, they're looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join their highly skilled team, supporting secure platforms used by public sector and defence customers.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with cutting-edge cloud technologies, take ownership of key infrastructure platforms, and play a central role in shaping secure, scalable, and resilient cloud environments.
