London, UK

Cloudscaler is based in Central London, with customers across the UK. Travel to our customer sites is required, with frequency up to 3 days per week onsite. The customer for which these vacancies are signposted requires an onsite presence of 1 day every 2 weeks in Bath.

Due to working with a number of government bodies, SC clearance is required for our customer facing teams. You do not need active SC clearance as we will undertake checks upon you joining, but you must be eligible to pass SC clearance. In future, DV clearance may be required, so the ability/willingness to pass DV clearance is advantageous but not essential.
