£40,000 - £50,000 + benefits

No Sponsorship Available

VIQU have partnered with a major UK technology-led organisation undergoing a significant transformation following a large-scale business merger. As part of a wider move away from contractor-heavy delivery, they are investing heavily in permanent engineering talent and building out a high-performing cloud and platform function.

They are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to help improve the reliability, scalability and automation of their AWS estate. This is a hands-on engineering role working across cloud infrastructure, observability, CI/CD and platform tooling, helping development teams deliver faster and more reliably.

You’ll be joining a collaborative engineering environment with the opportunity to influence platform standards, improve operational resilience and support modern DevOps and SRE practices across the business.

Key responsibilities:

Build, maintain and improve scalable AWS infrastructure.

Develop and manage Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK.

Support CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.

Improve monitoring, logging and observability across distributed systems.

Support incident management, root cause analysis and platform reliability improvements.

Work closely with engineering and architecture teams to improve operational performance and security.

Contribute to cloud best practice, automation and platform engineering standards.

Key requirements:

Strong experience in a Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps or Platform Engineering role.

Strong AWS experience within production environments.

Experience with AWS CDK (TypeScript preferred).

Strong TypeScript experience.

Experience with CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins or GitLab CI.

Containerisation experience with Docker, Kubernetes, EKS or ECS.

Experience with observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, AppDynamics or OpenSearch.

Experience with scripting or development using Python, TypeScript or Java.

Understanding of cloud security and reliability best practices.

AWS certifications are desirable but not essential.

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

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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 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.

This guide breaks down the current expectations, required skills, certifications, and practical experience that can help you stand out in a competitive job market.
