The Opportunity
We are looking for a Junior DevOps Engineer to join a technology team based in Newcastle.
This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate, junior engineer or someone at the beginning of their DevOps/Cloud career who wants to gain hands-on commercial experience working with AWS, Azure and modern DevOps technologies.
You do not need to be an experienced DevOps Engineer.
We are looking for someone with a good technical foundation, some exposure to cloud technologies and, most importantly, a willingness to learn and develop.
What You'll Be Doing
- You'll work alongside experienced engineers and gain exposure to areas including:
- AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud environments
- CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
- Infrastructure and cloud environments
- Automation and scripting
- Monitoring and troubleshooting
- Supporting development and engineering teams
- Following DevOps and cloud best practices
- Working within a collaborative Agile environment
What We're Looking For
We're particularly interested in graduates and junior-level candidates who have some exposure to AWS and/or Azure.
This could have been gained through:
A Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cloud Computing or related degree
A placement year or internship
A graduate scheme or junior technology role
University projects
AWS or Azure certifications
Personal cloud/DevOps projects
Exposure to any of the following would also be beneficial:
AWS
Microsoft Azure
Linux
Git / GitHub / GitLab
CI/CD
Terraform or Infrastructure as Code
Docker or Kubernetes
Python, Bash or PowerShell
You do not need experience across all of these technologies.
Security Clearance
Candidates must be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC) due to the nature of the project.
Existing SC clearance is advantageous but not essential.
If you do not currently hold SC clearance but are unsure whether you may be eligible, you can review the official UK Government guidance on national security vetting and Security Check (SC) requirements.
Why Apply?
This is a strong opportunity to get your foot in the door within DevOps and Cloud Engineering, build commercial experience across both AWS and Azure and work alongside experienced engineers.
If you're a graduate or junior technologist looking to build a long-term career in Cloud, DevOps or Platform Engineering, we'd be keen to hear from you.
