Infrastructure Engineer (AWS & Cloud Operations)

Location: Cardiff

Working Pattern: Hybrid (office-based initially, then 3 days onsite / 2 remote)

Salary: £40,000 - £46,000

We're working with a growing SaaS business looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of a well-established AWS environment supporting a live customer platform used globally.

This role is focused on maintaining, supporting and improving an existing cloud estate rather than rebuilding it from scratch. The business is looking for someone with strong AWS experience who enjoys working across infrastructure, monitoring, security and platform reliability in a practical, hands-on environment.

You'll work closely with leadership and the wider engineering team, gradually taking greater ownership of the infrastructure function over time.

What We're Looking For

Required Experience:

  • Commercial experience managing AWS environments in production
  • Strong understanding of AWS infrastructure and cloud operations (EC2, RDS, Route53 & CloudWatch)
  • Experience with infrastructure monitoring and alerting
  • Understanding of WAF, security tooling and cyber security best practices
  • Experience managing DNS and Cloudflare environments
  • Windows Server and/or Linux administration experience
  • Experience supporting backups, resilience and disaster recovery processes

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to Infrastructure as Code or automation tooling
  • Experience improving observability or monitoring processes
  • Understanding of Cyber Essentials or security frameworks
  • Experience working in smaller teams with broad infrastructure ownership

What's On Offer

  • Hybrid working model
  • 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Additional birthday day off
  • Company share scheme after 6 months
  • Genuine ownership and autonomy within the infrastructure function
  • Opportunity to influence and improve a live SaaS platform used at scale
  • Supportive, collaborative team environment without excessive bureaucracy

What we offer:

  • 22 days annual leave plus public holidays.
  • Additional day off for your birthday.
  • Private medical insurance.
  • Salary: £40,000 - £46,000 depending on experience.
  • Access to the company profit share scheme following 6 months of service.

Interested?

If you're excited by the idea of taking real ownership of an established Infrastructure estate, please get in touch. We also offer a referral scheme for any candidates who are successfully placed.

For more information, contactDan Newton at Yolk Recruitment.

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.
