We have a great opportunity for a graduate to join our fantastic Cloud Engineering team based in Cambridge. This is an ideal role for someone who wants to join a friendly, small, and highly technical team where you can have a real impact.
You don’t need a specific degree; we are just interested in someone who is enthusiastic about working out how technology works. We will provide all the training you need to become an experienced Cloud Engineer.
The Role
During your first year, you will be mentored by a Senior Cloud Engineer and together you’ll work within the Cloud Engineering team.
Your mentor will guide you through our training programme, which covers a host of technologies, tools, and practices, including good infrastructure design, effective testing, good code design, mastering Git for team-based development, pair programming, agile team practices, database design, secure coding and many others.
The training programme is designed to blend with the actual work your team is doing, so you will be delivering value alongside learning right from the start.
Looking further ahead, we encourage learning for all and provide time for people to improve on their skills and learn new ones. We also attend conferences, local meetups, and any relevant training courses that we feel we can learn from.
Your Experience
We’re looking for graduates with a good academic foundation, but your degree subject isn’t as important as your mindset. What really sets you apart is your natural curiosity and drive to understand how technology works — especially when things don’t go as expected. You’ve tackled real problems, either through your studies or in your own time, and built practical solutions by digging into the unknown, asking questions, and figuring things out. You don’t need experience with specific platforms or tools — we’re more interested in how you think and how you approach challenges.
You need to have good interpersonal skills and enjoy collaborating with others. Everything we do is done as part of a team, so being able to cooperate with others to meet shared goals, empathise, and form trusting relationships is key.
You don’t need any experience with any particular infrastructure technology. Our core stack includes AWS, terraform, and Typescript but we use various other technologies as appropriate.
All our teams spend at least one day a week in the office, so you need to be based within easy travel to Cambridge.

Working at GMSL
We are a small team. We have around 40 people in our software team, so even though we are a part of a company of around 120 people overall, the software team has retained a small team “startup” feel. Your colleagues will be from a wide variety of backgrounds – we encourage diversity, openness, and gender equality.
We value the long-term. The success and stability that comes from 25+ years’ experience in software development means we value the long-term in terms of software development and the development of our people.
We empower teams and individuals. Teams are empowered to own their products. Individuals are empowered to make meaningful contributions at every level.
We are agile. We develop using an agile approach, which focuses on our ability to respond to change. We broadly follow XP practices, but we take a pragmatic view on these. We adapt our processes to support the context, rather than follow a standard rigid process for all situations. We trust the teams who do the work to decide how best to do it.
We strive to make GMSL a great place to work. The management team are friendly, approachable, and care personally about the people on their team. Managers consider the people on their team as the first priority and take our people’s personal situations into account in decision-making wherever they can.
We are flexible. Our teams typically work at least one day a week in our office in Cambridge, and the rest of the time we are flexible about working in the office or working from home. We also have a day a month where the whole software department comes in and we all go to the pub for lunch. Hours are flexible and are based on the needs of the team.
