# Infrastructure Engineer

- **Company:** Fortice
- **Location:** Stoke Gifford, UK
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Information Systems, Databases, DevOps, Identity and Access Management, Machine Learning, Network Connections, Datadog, Hardware Infrastructure
- **Published:** September 9, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.collegerecruiter.com/job/2842869859-infrastructure-engineer

## About the Role

It would also help (though it's not essential) if you've got experience with:

 * Networking, storage or identity management
 * Multi-account or multi-tenant environments
 * Observability tooling
 * GitOps

This role would suit someone who's genuinely curious about tech, who reads round the subject in their own time, who spots problems early rather than waiting to be told, and who thinks about how systems get used rather than just how they're built.

## Description

Our client builds technology for UK defence and national security that must work at the edge in places where connectivity is degraded, denied or simply doesn't exist.

Yes, you'll work with cloud tech day to day, but you'll also get exposure to on-prem infrastructure, networking, and edge deployment - the kind of infrastructure work that doesn't assume there's always a network connection to lean on.

If you've spent the last few years going deeper into cloud-only work and you're missing the broader infrastructure side of things, this might be worth a look.

Who we're working with

We're recruiting for one of Europe's fastest-growing engineering businesses - a Bristol-headquartered company building technology that supports UK national security and resilience. They have a huge manufacturing space, an international footprint that's growing, and a headcount that's already around 200 and climbing.

Their work is about turning advances in sensing, AI and communications into real operational capability - helping frontline teams make better decisions and keeping people and critical assets safer in tough environments.

The opportunity

Demand's grown, and our client is building out their Infrastructure/DevOps team. You'll be working across software, infrastructure and integration - automating, deploying, and improving systems that support their information systems and machine learning services.

What the role involves

 * Building and managing cloud platforms for ongoing projects
 * Creating reliable systems through automation and Infrastructure-as-Code
 * Working with development teams to improve their testing and release processes
 * Providing expertise on networks, security and databases
 * Pulling metrics from systems and applications to help with performance and troubleshooting
