đź“Ť London (Hybrid)
đź’° Up to ÂŁ70,000 + bonus + benefits
If you’re a Platform Engineer who wants to do more than just build infrastructure — this is your chance to work on high-impact National Security programmes where your engineering decisions directly strengthen the UK’s cyber resilience.
I’m supporting a major global technology & intelligence organisation expanding its cloud engineering teams across secure government projects. They’re looking for people who combine strong AWS engineering with great communication — the kind of engineers who can collaborate, explain, influence, and shape solutions.
This is meaningful work, complex work, and work that genuinely matters.
What you’ll be doing
* Designing and deploying secure AWS platforms for mission-critical systems
* Building CI/CD pipelines used on high-sensitivity programmes
* Working alongside multidisciplinary teams: DevOps, architects, software engineers, security specialists
* Creating PoCs and leading delivery across complex cloud environments
* Applying strong engineering discipline (testing, automation, quality gates, Git best practice)
What they’re looking for
* Strong AWS deployment & platform engineering experience
* Programming in Python, Java, JavaScript or .NET
* Experience with CI/CD (Jenkins, Bamboo, Bitbucket, Git, TeamCity etc.)
* Clear, confident communication — consulting-style profiles very welcome
* Eligible for DV Clearance (10 years UK residency required)
Nice to have
* Docker / Kubernetes
* Ansible or similar automation
* Exposure to ML/AI tooling (AWS/Azure/GCP)
Why this role stands out
* Direct impact on UK National Security
* Complex engineering challenges — not just maintenance
* Brilliant internal progression pathways across cloud, cyber, and data
* Flexible hybrid working + strong benefits package
* A culture built around engineering excellence, learning and innovation
