Cloud DevOps (DV/eDV)
United Kingdom
I’m currently supporting multiple Cloud, DevOps and Platform hires across a mix of specialist SMEs
Cloud / DevOps Engineers (DV/eDV) – Multiple National Security Roles
Locations: Opportunities across all compass points, including Cheltenham/Gloucester, London, Hampshire, Bristol and ManchesterLevel: Mid-level through to Senior / LeadClearance: Active DV / eDV required across the majority of roles
I’m currently supporting multiple Cloud, DevOps and Platform hires across a mix of specialist SMEs, engineering-led consultancies and established National Security teams.
Different organisations. Different working patterns. Different stages of growth.
The common thread is modern engineering, good technical people and opportunities to keep progressing.
Current demand
Cloud Engineering – AWS/Azure, Infrastructure as Code, secure cloud environments
DevOps / DevSecOps – Terraform, CI/CD, automation, Kubernetes, Linux
Platform Engineering / SRE – reliability, observability, container platforms and platform tooling
Senior / Lead roles – broader technical ownership, architecture and mentoring
Why people are moving
The conversations I’m having tend to be less about salary and more about:
Getting out of BAU-heavy roles
Broader technical exposure
Better engineering culture
More ownership and influence
Stronger progression
More flexibility where programmes allow
We’ve already helped engineers join several of these teams, so I can give you a view based on what people actually tell us after they start, not just what’s written in the job description.
Clearance
Most of these roles support live National Security programmes, so active DV or eDV clearance is typically required.
If you’re already cleared and curious about what else is moving across the market, send me your profile and I’ll give you a straight view of where your background is likely to fit.

Senior DevOps Engineer
United Kingdom
I’m supporting a large technology consultancy hiring DevOps Engineers into it's Secure Division
Senior DevOps Engineer (Clearable)
Locations: Manchester, Bristol, Cheltenham or PlymouthSalary: Up to £80,000 base + wider packageLevel: Mid-level to Senior | broadly SFIA 3–5Clearance: No active clearance required, but you must be eligible and willing to go through UK security vetting
A genuinely rare one for this market:
You do not need to already hold DV/eDV clearance.
I’m supporting a large technology consultancy hiring DevOps Engineers into it's Secure Division, bespoke technical solutions across Central Government, Defence, National Security, Critical National Infrastructure and Law Enforcement.
The team builds secure, highly available platforms for complex government customers, with a strong emphasis on hands-on engineering, modern cloud tooling and long-term technical development.
What you’ll be working with
AWS
Kubernetes, Docker and Helm
Terraform
GitLab CI / Jenkins
Prometheus, Grafana and Elastic
Automation and secure deployment
Platform monitoring and reliability
Troubleshooting across complex secure environments
AWS is a key requirement here.
You’ll be joining at mid-to-senior level, with scope to stay hands-on while progressing through a clear SFIA structure into broader technical ownership, mentoring and leadership.
Why it’s worth a look
Rare route into secure government work without already holding active clearance
Broad exposure across multiple government and critical infrastructure sectors
Strong technical communities and engineering guilds
Structured coaching, training and progression
Project variety without needing to leave the business to broaden your remit
Established regional teams with a collaborative, less corporate feel than you might expect from a larger consultancy
This is particularly relevant if you’ve built a strong AWS / DevOps background commercially and have previously found the clearance barrier difficult to get around.
You’ll need to meet the eligibility requirements for UK security vetting and be willing to go through the process.
If you’re already working across AWS, DevOps, Platform or SRE and want a route into more secure, complex engineering work, this is well worth a conversation.
