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.
