Cloud Platform Engineer - AI & National Security Programme

Location: On site in Cheltenham

Duration: 12 months initially

Clearance
:
You must be a UK Sole National & hold active SC clearance

The Opportunity

We are seeking talented Cloud Platform Engineers to join a cutting edge programme supporting a UK Intelligence Community customer in the Cheltenham area.

This is not traditional defence IT or routine support work. Instead, you'll be part of a forward thinking environment focused on artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced analytics, and modern cloud-native technologies.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Cloud Platform Engineer, you will:

  • Design, build, automate and maintain cloud-native platforms and infrastructure
  • Enable Data Science and Software Engineering teams to develop and deploy solutions at scale
  • Work with modern tooling including:
    • AWS
    • Terraform
    • Kubernetes
    • Helm
  • Support rapid delivery of innovative solutions in a mission-critical environment
The Environment

You'll be working within an AI Lab-style model
, where:

  • Experimentation and innovation are actively encouraged
  • Teams rapidly prototype, test, and adopt emerging technologies
  • Requirements evolve-this is a dynamic, exploratory environment
  • New ideas are valued over simply maintaining legacy systems

This is an ideal opportunity for engineers who thrive in fast-moving, evolving environments and want to be at the forefront of technology innovation in National Security.

What We're Looking For
  • Experience working with cloud-native platforms and infrastructure
  • Strong knowledge of AWS and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
  • Hands‑on experience with containerisation and orchestration (Kubernetes, Helm)
  • A mindset geared towards innovation, experimentation, and continuous improvement
  • Comfortable working in uncertain or evolving requirements environments
Security Requirements
  • Active SC (Security Check) clearance is required
  • Must be a UK Sole National due to the nature of the work and client requirements
