About Our Client

Our Client is not your typical Managed Service Provider (MSP). They are a second-generation provider of managed cloud services, born from the expertise of industry veterans, and are crafting a new narrative in the UK tech scene.

The Client's team is akin to the elite operators (the Navy SEALs of the tech world) who excelled in larger MSP environments but yearned for something more. For over 10 transformative years, they have been building a company that is small by design but colossal in impact, guided by a technical leader whose vision is always client-first.

Our Client is currently looking for a skilled and enthusiastic Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join their dynamic technical team. You can expect to work with the latest technology and leading brands in a team where everyone has a passion for technology. This will be a hands-on, fast-paced role where there will be endless opportunities to develop new skills and get involved in projects across the business.
