Job Description

AWS DevOps Engineer (eDV) – National Security

Location: Key National Security hubs

Salary: £60,000–£80,000+ depending on experience

Clearance: Active eDV required

Level: Mid-level / SFIA 4-ish

You’ve got the AWS and Terraform fundamentals.

The question is whether your current role is still stretching you....

I’m supporting an engineering-led National Security team looking for a mid-level DevOps Engineer who wants to move beyond support-heavy work and take on more ownership across secure cloud environments.

This is a good fit for someone who’s already comfortable with modern DevOps tooling, but still wants room to broaden their capability, learn from strong engineers and progress towards more senior Platform or Cloud responsibilities.

What you’ll be working with

AWS

Terraform

Kubernetes

Linux

CI/CD

Python / Bash

Infrastructure as Code

Automation and platform reliability

You’ll be working across live National Security programmes, helping build, improve and automate secure cloud platforms rather than simply maintaining what’s already there.

Why it’s worth a look

The strongest feedback I hear from engineers making this kind of move is usually about:

More technical ownership

Better exposure to modern tooling

Less BAU

Strong engineering culture

Clearer progression

More opportunity to learn from experienced Cloud and Platform Engineers

Active eDV clearance is required for this role.

If you’re not actively looking, that’s fine. I’m happy to give you an honest view of the role, the wider market and where your background is likely to fit best.
