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 standardsWhat 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 environmentsWhat'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 projectsWhy 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
