Additionally, we're looking for candidates with hands‑on experience in infrastructure engineering, including expertise in areas such as cloud architecture, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure‑as‑code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible), and system performance optimization to support seamless integration and testing processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, deploy and manage a broad set of IT Infrastructure aligning to customer needs and requirements, while leveraging infrastructure engineering best practices to maintain system reliability and scalability with a focus on automation and repeatability.
• Develop Infrastructure as Code and scripts and integrate those with CI/CD pipelines and a wider ecosystem of tools, prioritising automation to streamline deployments.
• Provide full end to end systems lifecycle management covering architecture, design, deployment and support through to decommissioning and migration.
• Support the integration and delivery of large and complex solutions into a wider system‑of‑systems, ensuring infrastructure components are robust and interoperable.
• Opportunities to experience the cloud by undertaking deployments in Public, Private, and Hybrid Cloud environments, addressing potential constraints while optimizing infrastructure performance and security.

Security clearance

This role requires you to be able to obtain and maintain eDV security clearance.

You don't need to hold eDV clearance when you apply. If you don't currently have it, we'll support you through the application process.
