Cloud Network Engineer

We are seeking a Cloud Network Engineer to join our team. We are growing our Data and Services business, creating insights from satellites developed and operated in-house.

You will be part of a growing team responsible for the design, implementation and evolution of hybrid space–terrestrial telecommunications networks. This is essential for AAC Clyde Space to achieve its ambition to lead the creation of new space-based maritime communication services. The role requires technical expertise in the delivery of scalable, reliable, and secure data and communication services.

This opportunity is ideal for someone with a passion for infrastructure quality and innovation, who has experience of enabling workflows and processes using cloud-based network functions. You should be comfortable working in an agile development environment. You should also be comfortable with infrastructure as code. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to creating innovative products within a fast-growing space technology company.

The role is based in either London or Glasgow where Hybrid Working is available. The nature of the role will require essential, occasional business travel (both local and global) plus the occasional ‘out of hours’ work that may be required to support customer and business activities.

Please note that in future, you may be required to complete a Basic Disclosure check
