Job description

Join a high-profile Defence programme delivering complex, mission-critical cloud environments. This role sits within a secure engineering team, building and maintaining highly available Kubernetes and Terraform-based infrastructure for classified systems.

Key Focus

  • Hands-on cloud engineering within secure environments (more engineering than architectural design).
  • Ownership of Kubernetes-based platform build, deployment, and optimisation.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform in multi-tenant, air-gapped, and Terraform Cloud environments.
  • Cloud-native testing, verification, and automation of platform reliability.
  • Contribution to the secure delivery and compliance of cloud platforms supporting Defence systems.

Requirements

  • DV Clearance (current or lapsed within 12 months).
  • Strong Kubernetes engineering experience (build, management, troubleshooting).
  • Deep Terraform knowledge (Terraform Cloud preferred).
  • Cloud platform testing and validation experience (e.g. integration, performance, or environment resilience).
  • Experience in modern cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or hybrid secure hosting).
  • Proven ability to work in secure, high-assurance environments.

About the company

Be part of a mission-driven programme at the forefront of Defence cloud transformation. You'll join a deeply technical team that prioritises engineering rigour, security, and delivery excellence.
