Cloud Engineer - Hybrid (Manchester) - Government Project
Salary: £55,000 + Benefits + Unlimited Training Budget
Active SC Clearance is required for this role.
Are you a Cloud Engineer ready to take your career to the next level while working on meaningful, high-impact projects? We're looking for talented platform engineers to join a collaborative, forward-thinking team delivering critical cloud services for a major UK government programme based in Manchester.
This is a hybrid role, combining time across home, client site, and office-offering flexibility while keeping you close to impactful, real-world delivery.
The Opportunity
You’ll be part of a high‑performing “Cloud Pod” – a tight‑knit team of engineers working together to design, build, and maintain modern cloud platforms. This is a hands‑on role where you’ll contribute to both project delivery and the evolution of foundational cloud services.
You’ll be empowered to innovate, influence technical direction, and continuously develop your skills in a supportive, engineering‑led environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Designing, building, and maintaining scalable cloud platforms (code-first approach–no “ClickOps”)
* Driving standardisation, reuse, and automation through infrastructure blueprints
* Working in Agile teams, contributing to sprints and shared outcomes
* Collaborating closely with other engineers to deliver secure, resilient services
* Continuously improving platforms using modern DevOps practices and tooling
* Contributing to internal best practices and engineering standards
What We’re Looking For
* Strong experience in cloud platform engineering (AWS and/or Azure)
* Hands‑on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform)
* Experience with version control systems (e.g. GitHub)
* Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation tooling
* Exposure to Kubernetes, Ansible, and containerised environments
* Solid understanding of infrastructure and networking concepts
* Experience working in Agile environments
What’s in It for You
* £55,000 base salary + comprehensive benefits package
* Unlimited training budget for certifications (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and more)
* Ongoing professional development with clear career progression
* Private healthcare options and wellbeing support
* Flexible, hybrid working model
* Opportunity to work on impactful, secure government projects
Why Join?
You’ll be joining a collaborative engineering culture that values innovation, continuous learning, and real‑world impact. This is your chance to work on meaningful projects, sharpen your technical expertise, and grow within a supportive, high-performing team.
If you’re passionate about cloud engineering and want to make a tangible difference, we’d love to hear from you.
