Join a world-class digital consultancy working at the heart of national security and defence innovation.

We're looking for experienced Platform Engineers who can design, build, and operate secure, scalable cloud environments within AWS - enabling some of the UK's most complex and high-impact programmes.

• Contributing to cloud strategy and technical roadmaps across multiple projects.

What you'll bring

• Solid grasp of DevOps principles - CI/CD, containerisation, and monitoring.
• Eligible for DV Clearance (UK nationals only).
