Active DV / eDV ClearanceHybrid opportunities across the UK£75,000 - £100,000+ depending on experience and clearance There's one conversation I keep having...It usually starts with something like this. "I don't actually dislike where I work... I'm just not sure I'll still be enjoying it in another couple of years." Sometimes it's because platform engineering has become little more than BAU support. Sometimes it's layers of approvals and process slowing everything down.Sometimes it's being surrounded by good people but working on technology that never really moves forward. And sometimes it's simply wanting to work somewhere where engineering still feels like engineering. If you've found yourself thinking something similar recently, I'd like to tell you about the type of opportunities I'm seeing across the National Security community. What The Best Engineering Teams Have In Common Over the last couple of years I've spent hundreds of hours speaking with Platform Engineers, Cloud Architects, Technical Leads and Engineering Managers across the National Security sector. The strongest engineering environments aren't necessarily the biggest names. In fact, they're often the opposite. Smaller engineering-led organisations where decisions happen quickly. Leadership teams who still understand technology. Platform teams trusted to solve problems rather than simply operate ticket queues. Modern AWS platforms built around Terraform, Kubernetes and automation instead of legacy infrastructure. Teams where engineers influence architecture, challenge ideas and genuinely own what they're building. Those are exactly the organisations I choose to represent. The Opportunity Rather than advertising a single employer, this advert represents the type of opportunities I regularly recruit for across a carefully selected group of engineering-led National Security organisations. Depending on which environment suits you best, that could mean: Owning secure AWS platform environments supporting critical UK capability Designing and evolving Kubernetes-based platform architecture Building Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and cloud-native tooling Driving automation across deployment, observability and operational resilience Working alongside experienced Cloud, Platform and Software Engineers in genuinely collaborative teams Influencing engineering direction rather than simply delivering somebody else's roadmap Joining organisations where progression comes through technical impact-not headcount management Some environments are consultancy-led with long-term customer partnerships. Others are product-focused. Some are scaling rapidly. Others are already recognised as some of the most respected engineering businesses in the National Security community. The common thread is simple. Good engineering, good people and meaningful technical ownership. Clearance Most of the organisations I support are delivering work on live National Security programmes, so active DV or eDV clearance is typically a prerequisite. That said, every so often an opportunity arises where an exceptional SC-cleared engineer-someone with the right technical background and a realistic route to higher clearance-can be brought in and sponsored. Those opportunities are limited, but they do exist, so if you're unsure where you fit, I'm always happy to have an honest conversation. Who You'll Probably Be This advert will likely resonate if you already have experience across areas such as: AWS Platform Engineering Kubernetes Terraform Linux CI/CD Infrastructure as Code Automation Observability Python, Bash or PowerShell Secure Cloud You're probably already operating as a Senior Platform Engineer, Senior DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer or Technical Lead. More importantly, you're someone who enjoys solving problems, improving platforms and continually learning. Why Speak To Me? The engineers I work with rarely move because somebody offered them another £5,000. They're usually looking for something much harder to find. A stronger engineering culture. More ownership. Better technical leadership. Modern cloud platforms. Greater flexibility. A place where they'll still be learning two or three years from now. That's exactly what my conversations focus on. Rather than trying to sell you a vacancy, I'll help you understand which organisations genuinely align with what matters most to you-and I'll be honest if I don't think one of my clients is the right fit. Several of the engineers I've helped over the last year started with nothing more than a confidential conversation about where the market was heading. Not actively looking? That's completely fine. Some of the best conversations I have each week are with engineers who simply want an honest view of the market. If you're curious about which organisations are genuinely investing in modern platform engineering, how engineering cultures compare, or where the strongest technical teams are being built across the National Security community, I'm always happy to share what I'm seeing. If nothing else, you'll come away

Active DV / eDV ClearanceHybrid opportunities across the UK£55,000 - £100,000+ depending on experience, level and clearance Thinking about your next move? One conversation I've been having more and more with Data Engineers is this: "I enjoy the people I work with... I'm just not learning anymore." Sometimes it's legacy data warehouses that never seem to evolve. Sometimes it's spending more time fixing pipelines than building them. Sometimes it's being the only data specialist in the room. More often than not, it's simply wanting to work somewhere that's genuinely investing in modern data engineering rather than talking about it. If that sounds familiar, it might be worth reading on. What I'm Seeing Across the Market Having spent the last couple of years speaking with Data Engineers, Data Architects and technical leaders across the National Security community, a few themes have become impossible to ignore. The organisations attracting the strongest engineers aren't simply hiring people to move data from A to B. They're building platforms that underpin AI, machine learning and operational decision-making. Modern cloud-native data platforms are replacing fragmented legacy estates. Engineering teams are investing in automation, scalability and data products rather than endless manual processes. Most importantly, the best environments are treating Data Engineering as an engineering discipline—not a support function. That's exactly the type of organisations I choose to partner with. The Opportunities Rather than representing a single employer, I work closely with a carefully selected group of engineering-led organisations across the National Security sector. That includes innovative SMEs, specialist consultancies and product-focused businesses delivering secure data platforms, cloud-native engineering capability and AI-enabled solutions supporting some of the UK's most important programmes. Depending on what you're looking for, opportunities include: Designing and building modern cloud-native data platforms Developing scalable ETL and ELT pipelines Working with AWS and Azure data services Engineering platforms using technologies such as Spark, Databricks and Kafka Building reliable, automated data pipelines supporting AI and Machine Learning workloads Collaborating with software, cloud and platform engineers in genuinely multidisciplinary teams Influencing architecture and technical direction as platforms continue to evolve Some organisations are scaling rapidly. Others are well-established engineering businesses investing heavily in modern data capability. Some specialise in consultancy. Others offer long-term product ownership. The right move depends entirely on what you want your next few years to look like. Clearance Most of the organisations I support are delivering work on live National Security programmes, so active DV or eDV clearance is typically a prerequisite. That said, every so often an opportunity arises where an exceptional SC-cleared engineer—someone with the right technical background and a realistic route to higher clearance—can be brought in and sponsored. Those opportunities are limited, but they do exist, so if you're unsure where you fit, I'm always happy to have an honest conversation. Who I'm Looking To Speak With I'm particularly interested in speaking with engineers with experience across areas such as: Data Engineering Cloud Data Platforms AWS and/or Azure Python SQL Apache Spark Databricks Kafka Data Modelling ETL / ELT Infrastructure as Code CI/CD for data platforms Whether your title is Data Engineer, Senior Data Engineer, Lead Data Engineer or Data Platform Engineer, I'd be happy to hear from you. Why Speak To Me? The best engineers rarely move because somebody sends them a job description. They move because somebody understands where they want to be in two or three years' time and can introduce them to organisations that genuinely align with those ambitions. Over the last couple of years I've built relationships with many of the engineering-led organisations consistently attracting positive feedback from the engineers I've placed there. Whether you're looking for stronger technical leadership, greater ownership, better engineering culture, exposure to modern cloud-native platforms or the opportunity to work alongside exceptional people, I'll always give you an honest perspective—not simply point you towards whichever vacancy happens to be available. Many of the engineers I've helped over the last year weren't actively looking when we first spoke. They simply wanted a better understanding of how the market was evolving before deciding whether it was time to move. Not actively looking? That's completely fine. Some of the best conversations I have each week are with engineers who simply want an honest view of the market. If you're curious about which organisations are genuinely investing in modern data platforms, how engineering cultures compare, or where the most interesting Data Engineering work is happening across the National Security community, I'm always happy to share what I'm seeing. If nothing else, you'll come away with a clearer picture of the market—even if your next move is still a year away.

Active DV / eDV ClearanceHybrid opportunities across the UK£55,000 - £110,000 base + bonuses (depending on experience, level and clearance) Thinking about your next move? One conversation I've been having more than ever recently is with Cloud and Platform Engineers who aren't actively looking to leave. They're generally happy where they are. They're simply curious. Curious about which organisations are genuinely investing in engineering, where cloud platforms are becoming more mature, and which teams are giving engineers the autonomy, flexibility and technical ownership they've been looking for. Interestingly, salary is rarely the first thing they mention. The conversations tend to centre around engineering culture, modern technology, learning from talented people and finding somewhere they'll still be excited to work in three years' time. If that sounds familiar, it might be worth reading on. What I'm Seeing Across the Market Having spent the last couple of years working exclusively with Cloud, Platform and DevSecOps engineers across the National Security community, a few themes have become pretty clear. The organisations consistently attracting the strongest engineers have more in common than you might think. They're investing in modern AWS and Azure platforms rather than simply maintaining legacy infrastructure. Platform Engineering has moved from aspiration to reality. Terraform, Kubernetes and automation are becoming standard engineering practices rather than future roadmaps. Teams are staying deliberately lean, giving engineers genuine ownership instead of narrowly defined responsibilities. And perhaps the biggest change of all? Flexibility, trust and engineering culture are no longer "nice to have"-they're often the deciding factor. That's exactly the type of organisations I choose to partner with. The Opportunities Rather than representing a single employer, I work closely with a carefully selected group of engineering-led organisations across the National Security sector. That includes innovative SMEs, specialist consultancies and product-focused businesses delivering some of the UK's most interesting secure cloud and platform capability. Depending on what you're looking for, opportunities include: Building secure AWS and Azure platforms supporting critical UK capability Designing modern Platform Engineering environments using Kubernetes, Terraform and Infrastructure as Code Leading cloud migration and infrastructure modernisation programmes Developing automation that improves resilience and removes operational overhead Working alongside experienced engineers in collaborative, low-ego technical teams Influencing platform strategy rather than simply maintaining existing estates Some organisations are scaling rapidly. Others are long-established names with outstanding reputations in the National Security community. Some offer consultancy with genuine engineering depth. Others provide long-term product ownership. The right answer depends entirely on what you're looking for from your next move. Clearance Most of the organisations I support are delivering work on live National Security programmes, so active DV or eDV clearance is typically a prerequisite. That said, every so often an opportunity arises where an exceptional SC-cleared engineer-someone with the right technical background and a realistic route to higher clearance-can be brought in and sponsored. Those opportunities are limited, but they do exist, so if you're unsure where you fit, I'm always happy to have an honest conversation. Who I'm Looking To Speak With I'm particularly interested in speaking with engineers who have experience across areas such as: AWS and/or Azure Platform Engineering DevOps Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation or Pulumi) Kubernetes and containerisation Linux CI/CD and automation Python, Bash or PowerShell Site Reliability Engineering Secure cloud environments Whether you're a Cloud Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer or SRE, I'd be happy to hear from you. Why Speak To Me? The best engineers rarely move because somebody sends them a job description. They move because somebody takes the time to understand what they're looking for and introduces them to organisations that genuinely fit. Over the last couple of years I've built relationships with many of the engineering-led organisations consistently attracting positive feedback from the people I've placed there. Whether it's engineering culture, hybrid working, leadership, technical ownership or long-term progression, I'll always give you an honest view of where I think you'll thrive-not simply where I happen to have a vacancy. Many of the engineers I've helped over the last year weren't actively looking when we first spoke. They simply wanted a clearer picture of the market before deciding whether it was the right time to move. Not actively looking? That's completely fine. Some of the best conversations I have each week are with engineers who simply want an honest view of the market. If you're curious about which organisations are genuinely investing, how engineering cultures compare, or where the most interesting cloud and platform work is happening across the National Security community, I'm always happy to share what I'm seeing.
