Software Engineer - Infrastructure (Azure)

Our growing Technology team plays a key role in ensuring OS is at the cutting edge of geospatial capability and is looking for people to join them. Its mission is to work across the business to provide customer centric design and technology services.

Join us and you'll have an opportunity to make an impact. To empower projects that deliver real-world benefits across Britain and internationally. To hear our customers say they couldn't have done it without us. And to be central to OS's vision: to be recognised as world leaders in geospatial services; creating location insight for positive impact.

About the role

As our projects continue to grow, we are looking for talented Engineers to join our thriving team. You'll work collaboratively within an Agile delivery methodology, to deliver customer solutions at pace and to high standards.

You will be joining a newly formed project team consisting of engineers with strong track records of delivering customer requirements who are making OS' data products available to the world.

The successful candidates will need to go through SC clearance due to the nature of the work being undertaken.
