Infrastructure Engineer

🚀 Infrastructure / SRE Engineer | Kubernetes & Distributed Systems | Secure National Infrastructure 🇬🇧 Hybrid (London) | 📄 Permanent, Full-Time | We are seeking high-caliber Infrastructure / SRE Engineers to design, build, and operate mission-critical production infrastructure supporting vital UK government and national security missions. This is an environment operating at startup velocity to solve complex, national-scale engineering problems with true architectural ownership and autonomy from day one. What You’ll Be Doing: - Taking end-to-end operational and architectural ownership of high-security, distributed production platforms. - Architecting, deploying, and maintaining resilient container runtimes using Docker and Kubernetes. - Designing automated CI/CD deployment workflows and building internal tooling to optimize developer velocity and platform resilience. - Developing automation, monitoring, and telemetry infrastructure to ensure ultra-low downtime and rapid incident response across complex distributed systems. - Driving platform innovation and automation initiatives with modern tooling, cutting through operational bureaucracy. What We’re Looking For: - 1–5 years of commercial experience in Infrastructure Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Platform Operations. - Software-minded engineering approach: strong hands-on experience building, automating, and deploying production architectures (not just operational support/debugging). - Solid programming background in Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript. - Demonstrated ownership mindset: comfort working in rapid iterations, driving solutions independently, and operating in secure, high-trust environments. - Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related discipline from a top-50 university. Must-Haves: - Active UK Developed Vetting (DV) security clearance. - Sole British nationality (dual nationals cannot be considered due to national security compliance). - Hands-on expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration in production. - Solid coding/scripting capability in Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript. - Production Linux systems engineering and cloud/distributed systems delivery (AWS, GCP, Azure). - Residency or willingness to relocate within 30 minutes of the secure London site. Location & Working Setup: - Hybrid model based out of the London If you are an infrastructure specialist ready to take direct ownership of mission-critical systems where your engineering impact truly matters every day, apply now or connect directly to discuss the opportunity.
