Essential:

• Active DV (Developed Vetting) clearance
• UK resident for a minimum of 10 years
• Due to the secure nature of the role, candidates must be sole UK nationals
• Hands-on cloud engineering experience (AWS, Azure or GCP), deployment, automation, or platform operations
• Comfortable working within the most highly secure, regulated environments

Desirable:

• Defence, Intelligence, or wider public sector background
• Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM)
• Military transition candidates with hands-on technical cloud experience

What's on offer: Competitive salary depending on experience, plus benefits package, structured career development, and the opportunity to work on the most sensitive and mission-critical technology in the sector.

Location: London or Regional
