Infrastructure & DevOps Engineers (eDV) – National Security
Summary
Mid-to-senior Infrastructure & DevOps engineers supporting live UK National Security programmes from secure sites, requiring active eDV clearance. Day-to-day work spans Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu/CentOS), AWS/Azure, Terraform IaC, Ansible/Puppet, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, hardening and optional DevSecOps.
Infrastructure & DevOps Engineers (eDV) – National Security
Location: Key National Security hubs
Working pattern: Predominantly secure-site based depending on programme
Clearance: Active eDV required Level: Mid-level through to Senior
If you’re strongest at the infrastructure end of DevOps, this one’s for you.
I’m supporting a growing National Security engineering team with multiple requirements across Linux Infrastructure, Cloud, DevOps and DevSecOps.
The sweet spot is someone with strong infrastructure fundamentals who has increasingly moved into automation, cloud and modern engineering practices, rather than someone who only knows how to build pipelines.
What you could be working across
- Linux: RHEL, Ubuntu, CentOS
- AWS / Azure
- Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
- Ansible, Puppet or similar configuration management
- Docker and Kubernetes Bash / Python CI/CD
- Monitoring and logging
- Infrastructure hardening and vulnerability management
- Networking and secure cloud environments
There are also opportunities to move further into DevSecOps, working across IAM, secrets management, cloud security, secure CI/CD and embedding security earlier into the engineering lifecycle.
Who this suits
You might currently be an:
- Linux Infrastructure Engineer
- Cloud Engineer
- DevOps Engineer
- DevSecOps Engineer
- Platform Engineer
What matters more than the title is having solid infrastructure foundations, enjoying automation and wanting to keep moving deeper into cloud and platform engineering.
Clearance
These roles support live National Security programmes, so active eDV clearance is required.
They’re also suited to people comfortable working in secure environments rather than looking for a remote-first role.
