Cloud Engineer (National Security) Location: Cheltenham Hybrid: Secure-site working required (hybrid pattern) Salary: £60,000 - £95,000 depending on experience and SFIA level Clearance: Must hold active eDV clearance The Opportunity You will be joining a long-standing but fast-growing engineering consultancy with a strong reputation across the National Security space, particularly in the West. The organisation has built its name by delivering high-quality cloud and engineering capability into secure environments, while maintaining a culture that feels very different to the typical consultancies in this space. The structure is intentionally flat, the teams are close-knit, and there is a genuine focus on creating an environment where people are trusted, supported and able to do their best work. It's often described internally as a "people-first" business, and that shows in how they operate day to day. As they continue to grow, there is a clear focus on maintaining that culture while expanding their footprint across new programmes and customers. There is also a longer-term ambition to move towards an employee-owned trust, reinforcing their commitment to ownership, stability and rewarding the people who contribute to the business. For engineers currently operating in more rigid or process-heavy environments, this offers a chance to work somewhere that combines strong engineering standards with a genuinely supportive culture. The Role As a Cloud Engineer you will support the design, implementation and evolution of cloud platforms across secure programmes, working closely with engineers and stakeholders to deliver scalable and cost-effective solutions. You will play a key role in shaping how cloud is used across projects, contributing to both delivery and ongoing platform strategy. Typical responsibilities include: Designing, implementing and maintaining cloud infrastructure using AWS services and cloud-native tooling Supporting and advising teams on cloud architecture decisions and best practice approaches Contributing to infrastructure automation using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or similar frameworks Working with containerised environments and modern deployment approaches where appropriate Engaging with engineers and stakeholders to shape cloud strategy and platform direction Ensuring solutions are scalable, secure and cost-effective across the lifecycle The environment is cloud-focused but intentionally flexible. The organisation places far more value on engineering mindset, collaboration and the ability to learn than on matching a rigid list of tools. This role suits engineers who enjoy contributing across both delivery and strategy, rather than operating in a narrowly defined technical position. You may currently be working as a Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer or Platform Engineer within a secure environment and looking for a role where you can have more influence and work within a team that prioritises people as much as technology. Security Requirements Due to the nature of the work, candidates must hold active clearance to work in the National Security space.

If you're a DevSecOps engineer who's already operating at a senior level but still feels too far removed from the real engineering, this is where things tend to get more interesting. Senior / Lead DevSecOps Engineer (DV / eDV Cleared) Location: Cheltenham / Gloucester (hybrid + high-side work) Salary: Up to £110,000 + bonus + DV incentives + benefits We're supporting a number of Defence and National Security organisations across the South West, ranging from established consultancies to highly regarded SMEs. All are delivering into secure, high-impact programmes and are looking for engineers who can combine strong technical depth with real delivery ownership. What's different about these roles? You're not just implementing pipelines. You're shaping how secure platforms are built. These environments tend to be: Engineering-led, with strong technical standards Closer to the end mission, not buried in layers of delivery Set up to give senior engineers real influence over architecture and approach For many people coming from larger organisations, it's a shift from "following process" to actually defining it. What you'll be doing Depending on the team, you'll typically be: Designing and implementing secure cloud platforms (primarily AWS) Embedding security best practices across the full delivery lifecycle Leading on CI/CD design within high assurance environments Working directly with clients to shape platform and security decisions Mentoring junior engineers and setting engineering standards High side working is a core part of these roles, along with regular interaction with end clients. Typical tech environment Most teams are working across: AWS (often in highly controlled / secure configurations) Infrastructure as Code (Terraform primarily) CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) Containers & orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) Security tooling integrated into pipelines (SAST, DAST, etc.) What they're looking for Strong background in DevOps / DevSecOps within secure or complex environments Experience designing rather than just maintaining platforms Good understanding of security principles in cloud native systems Comfortable working directly with stakeholders and end clients Active DV or eDV clearance is typically required for these roles. Why it's worth considering Genuine influence over how platforms are designed and secured Exposure to some of the most interesting high side programmes in the UK Opportunity to move into Lead / Principal roles as teams grow Base salaries up to £110,000 depending on experience Additional DV bonuses, company bonus, and full benefits packages If you're looking for a role where you can take more ownership and operate at a higher level technically, happy to talk through what's available across different teams.
