SC Cleared Platform Engineers

Talent network: permanent opportunities across UK Defence and National Security

We work with a range of organisations across UK Defence and National Security, from specialist consultancies to large systems integrators, and are keen to hear from experienced SC-cleared Platform Engineers.

Our clients need engineers to design, build and harden secure platforms that support critical national infrastructure, working across containerisation, orchestration and secure-by-design principles. Roles typically offer real technical ownership and close collaboration with architects and security teams, with routes into platform architecture or technical leadership.

Registering with us means we can match you to suitable permanent opportunities as they arise, many of which are never advertised.

• UK resident for a minimum of 5 years
• Due to the secure nature of the work, candidates must be sole UK nationals
• Hands-on platform engineering experience, building and operating secure, scalable platforms
• Comfortable working in secure, regulated environments
• Desirable:
• Defence, Intelligence or wider public sector background
• Containerisation experience (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift)
• Military transition candidates with hands-on platform experience
• Typical package: Permanent roles typically range from £55,000 to £80,000 depending on experience and employer, plus benefits. Location: Opportunities across the UK, with hybrid working where the role allows.
