I'm supporting a growing National Security consultancy in London looking for Cloud and DevOps Engineers across SFIA 3–5.

AWS Cloud / DevOps Engineer (eDV) – London

Location: London | Flexible working around high-side commitments
Level: Mid-to-Senior | SFIA 3–5
Salary: £70,000–£100,000 (indicative, dependent on level) + Benefits
Clearance: Active eDV / green badge required

You're used to working high-side, you're technically solid, and you know your way around AWS, automation and secure delivery.

But are you still getting the opportunities to develop?

I'm supporting a growing National Security consultancy in London looking for Cloud and DevOps Engineers across SFIA 3–5 .

These are the engineers who can get stuck into delivery, take ownership and solve problems independently, but still want to broaden their technical experience rather than move away from the hands-on work.

The technical focus

• AWS: Building and supporting secure cloud infrastructure

• Infrastructure as Code: CloudFormation, Terraform and Ansible

• Containers: Docker, ECS and Kubernetes

• CI/CD: Automating software delivery, provisioning and deployment

• Linux & Scripting: Bash, Python and systems automation

• Security: Building secure engineering practices into delivery pipelines

You don't need to tick every box. Strong AWS foundations, automation experience and an understanding of secure engineering environments are what matter most.

Why consider it?

The consultancy sits within the specialist National Security SME market, offering a more personal engineering environment than many of the larger suppliers.

There's genuine scope to broaden your technical exposure, work alongside experienced engineers and develop towards Senior, Lead or Architecture responsibilities.

The package also includes

• funded professional certifications, dedicated study time, private medical cover and access to professional coaching.

Importantly, there's flexibility around programme commitments, recognising that working high-side doesn't necessarily mean being on-site five days a week.

We've already helped engineers join the team and received strong feedback on the environment, leadership and opportunities to develop.

Active eDV clearance is required , alongside the ability to work on secure programmes in London.

If you're comfortable delivering high-side but want to know what else the London National Security market can offer, I'd be happy to give you a straight view of the opportunity.
