Are you a software engineer who loves solving infrastructure challenges through code?

We're recruiting for an Automation Software Engineer to join a major long-term government technology programme, helping build large & secure customer contact and communications platforms used by critical organisations.

This is an opportunity to work on complex cloud infrastructure, automation, and platform engineering challenges where your work will have a direct impact on the success of a high-profile programme.

Unlike many infrastructure roles, this is a genuinely software engineering-focused position. You'll spend your time building automation frameworks, developing internal tooling, creating Infrastructure as Code solutions, and eliminating manual processes through clean, scalable, production-quality code.

What You'll Be Doing | Summary of Skills

  • Building automation frameworks and tooling using Python
  • Developing Infrastructure as Code solutions with Terraform
  • Creating reusable templates and code generation platforms using Jinja/Jinja2
  • Automating Windows environments through PowerShell
  • Managing and improving configuration management with Puppet
  • Building CI/CD integrations for infrastructure delivery
  • Working closely with cloud, platform and engineering teams to improve automation and operational efficiency
  • Driving infrastructure standardisation, reliability and scalability across complex environments

Why Apply?

  • Join a major government-backed technology programme
  • Work on highly secure, large-scale cloud infrastructure projects
  • Significant engineering ownership and technical challenge
  • Modern automation, cloud and DevOps tooling
  • Hybrid working with a collaborative engineering culture
  • Excellent opportunities for career growth and progression within a global technology organisation

Location: Eastleigh, Hedge End, Whiteley, Southampton, Fareham
Working Pattern: Hybrid - 2 days onsite, 3 days remote
