We are looking for curious, motivated graduates and early-career engineers who want to build a career in cloud and platform engineering.

You do not need to arrive knowing everything. We are more interested in your ability to learn, solve problems, collaborate with others, and take responsibility for your development.

You may have gained relevant experience through university, personal projects, placements, internships, bootcamps, certifications, open-source contributions, or an early technical role.

You should bring:

A genuine interest in cloud technology, software, automation, and platform engineering
Basic understanding of cloud computing and modern software delivery
Some experience with programming or scripting, such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, JavaScript, or a similar language
Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP through coursework, projects, certifications, or practical experience
Basic experience using Linux or a strong interest in developing it
Good analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills
Ability to break down problems and ask for support when needed
Clear written and verbal communication skills
Ability to work collaboratively within a team containing different levels of experience
Confidence to contribute ideas and constructively challenge existing approaches
Initiative, curiosity, and willingness to explore new solutions
Ability to work independently once given appropriate direction
A proactive, organised, and calm approach to learning and delivery
Interest in how AI and automation can improve platform engineering and software delivery

You should have one of the following:

A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Data Science, or another relevant technical subject.
An equivalent technical qualification, apprenticeship, bootcamp, or demonstrable practical experience.

Exposure to cloud computing through a placement, internship, academic project, personal lab, or previous role would be beneficial, but is not essential.

Relevant certifications are welcome but not required. These could include:

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate
Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals
Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate
Equivalent AWS, Azure, GCP, Linux, Kubernetes, or DevOps certifications
