AWS Infrastructure Engineer – Fix it. Strengthen it. Scale it.

£70,000 – £80,000 | Remote-first | Travel to Portsmouth (once/month)

Some AWS roles are about maintaining what’s already there.

This one is about making it better.

You’ll be joining a small infrastructure team as the AWS specialist as the person who looks at the current setup, challenges it, and helps shape what “good” really looks like.

If you enjoy getting into the detail, improving environments, and leaving things in a better state than you found them… this will suit you.

What’s in it for you?

  • Salary: £70,000 – £80,000
  • Working pattern: Remote-first (occasional travel to Portsmouth data centre)
  • Team: Small, high-impact infra team (you’ll be the third engineer)
  • Influence: Genuine say in technical direction and standards
  • Environment: AWS-first, with hybrid infrastructure and modern DevSecOps practices
  • Opportunity: Help shape a growing business moving from “move fast” to “build properly”

What’s the role really about?

This isn’t a greenfield build.

And it’s not a perfectly polished environment either.

It’s somewhere in the middle - built quickly, now ready to be reviewed, improved, and strengthened for scale.

You’ll:

  • Assess the current AWS setup
  • Reduce technical debt
  • Improve security and segmentation
  • Help define what a robust, scalable environment should look like

Less “keep it running”.

More “make it right”.

What you’ll be doing

  • Reviewing and improving the existing AWS infrastructure
  • Strengthening security, segmentation, and best practice architecture
  • Supporting a hybrid setup across cloud and on-prem environments
  • Handling technical issues and escalations when needed
  • Working closely with engineering teams to align infrastructure and development
  • Helping move teams further toward AWS and away from on-prem dependencies
  • Contributing to automation and DevSecOps practices already in place
  • Communicating clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders

What you’ll bring

  • Strong, hands-on AWS experience (3-5+ years) - beyond just setup and migration
  • A background in infrastructure / on-prem environments, now cloud-focused
  • Solid understanding of:
  • VPC, networking, and segmentation
  • Secure, scalable AWS architecture
  • Hybrid infrastructure environments
  • A practical approach to AWS security and best practice
  • Ideally exposure to other cloud platforms (Azure ideally) - enough to understand multi-cloud environments, even if AWS is your core strength
  • Experience working alongside engineering teams in modern environments
  • The confidence to challenge, improve, and push standards forward

The reality of the role

This is a fast-growing business that’s historically moved quickly.

Now it’s time to tighten things up.

Better structure. Stronger foundations. Less technical debt.

They need someone who can step into that environment and bring clarity, direction, and improvement.

This role suits someone who doesn’t just want to run infrastructure… but wants to shape it.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
