DV Cleared Infrastructure Engineer - Cloud & Kubernetes

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you will play a central role in designing, deploying, and supporting complex platforms across hybrid environments, combining on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching), which makes you a CGI Partner rather than just an employee.

Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to obtain it.

This role is available in Gloucester and London.

You will be responsible for designing, building, testing, and supporting infrastructure across hybrid environments, combining on-premises systems with cloud platforms.

You will contribute to secure, scalable, and automated infrastructure solutions using containerisation, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud-native tooling.

You will collaborate with stakeholders across multiple sites as part of an agile team, troubleshooting complex issues, optimising performance, and delivering new capabilities. Your work will directly support critical national security systems, where reliability, compliance, and innovation are essential.

Key responsibilities:

• Design & Deploy:
  Build and manage infrastructure across on-premises and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Innovate & Automate:
  Implement Kubernetes-based platforms, containerisation, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Cloud Formation)
• Secure & Govern:
  Apply infrastructure security, compliance, and governance best practices
• Troubleshoot & Resolve:
  Diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure issues
• Monitor & Optimise:
  Use observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK
• Collaborate & Deliver:
  Work across agile teams and stakeholder groups to drive continuous improvement

You should have at least three years’ experience in infrastructure engineering with a strong track record across hybrid and cloud environments.

You will bring strong technical capability alongside effective communication and collaboration skills.

Required experience:

• Designing, building, deploying, testing, and supporting infrastructure solutions
• Working across on-premises and cloud environments (AWS preferred, Azure/GCP desirable)
• Kubernetes architecture (pods, services, deployments, networking) and Docker containerisation
• Platform engineering and CNCF ecosystem familiarity
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, or Cloud Formation)
• Git Ops tooling such as Argo CD
• Scripting (Python or Shell)
• Container orchestration tools (e.g., Docker Swarm, Apache Mesos)
• Service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd)
• Monitoring and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)
• Infrastructure security, compliance, and governance practices
• Working in agile teams with version control (Git)
