We're working with a top-tier global consultancy powerhouse on this exciting opportunity to secure and scale UK infrastructure.

You will be the technical authority leading the charge on infrastructure resilience, leveraging Kubernetes, Vault, and Consul to build world-class automated environments.

The Role

  • Architect and deliver a comprehensive automated test framework for complex software components within a multi-account AWS environment.
  • Lead the design and execution of functional and performance tests to ensure the iron-clad resilience of Critical National Infrastructure.
  • Drive orchestration and service mesh strategies using Kubernetes, Consul, and Vault to maintain high-security standards.
  • Act as a senior technical escalation point (3rd line) while collaborating within an Agile framework using Jira and Confluence.
  • Continuous optimization of CI/CD pipelines via Jenkins to ensure seamless, repeatable deployments across secure environments.

What You'll Need

  • Deep expertise in AWS ecosystem (Compute, Identity) and building scalable infrastructure-as-code.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Orchestration and Service Mesh tools, specifically Kubernetes, Vault, and Consul.
  • Proven ability to script automation using Python, Ansible, or Bash to streamline complex deployments.
  • Expertise in monitoring and observability stacks including Prometheus and ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
  • Eligibility for UK Security Clearance (SC Cleared) is essential for this CNI-focused role.
  • Bonus points for networking knowledge involving Fortinet or Palo Alto firewalls and proxies.

What's On Offer

  • Competitive day rate of £400 - £600 (Inside IR35).
  • 100% Remote working flexibility for a better work-life balance.
  • Long-term 6-month initial contract with high visibility on a national scale project.
  • Opportunity to work with a prestigious consultancy at the forefront of digital transformation.
