AWS Senior Platform Engineer - UK Government Security Clearance eligibility required
Internal Title: AWS Senior Consultant
Appvia is a specialist cloud and platform engineering consultancy and product house helping organisations build, secure, and scale in the cloud. We work with public and private sector customers to design modern cloud platforms, embed strong engineering practices, and enable teams to deliver software faster and more reliably.
Our focus is on platform engineering, DevOps, automation, and cloud-native delivery, creating foundations that balance developer velocity with security, resilience, and governance.
As an AWS Senior Platform Engineer, you will be a key contributor to Appvia’s platform engineering engagements, working hands-on to design, build, and operate secure, scalable AWS platforms.
This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, working closely with development teams, and contributing to the continuous improvement of cloud platforms and delivery pipelines. You’ll operate within multi-disciplinary teams, supporting both application and platform workloads while helping customers adopt modern DevOps and platform engineering practices.
You’ll be expected to take ownership of technical delivery within your area, contribute to solution design, and support less experienced engineers through mentoring and knowledge sharing.
Certification in relevant cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP) at an associate level is highly desirable, e.g.:
Certification in Kubernetes and Terraform administration is desirable:
You must either hold active SC, or be eligible for SC:
You are a strong AWS engineer with a background in cloud-native infrastructure and DevOps, comfortable working in client-facing environments and contributing directly to delivery.
You will bring:
Location: London, UK (Hybrid - typically ~1-2 days per month in office)
Contract: Permanent, Full-time
Package: £75,000 - £90,000 + 10% Bonus + 10% Shares + Benefits (see more below)
We are a self-funded, London-based consultancy, growing rapidly while staying true to what got us here: a human, engineering-led culture built on trust, ownership, and getting things done.
As we scale, we’re maturing as a business and expanding into new areas across platform engineering, software, data, and AI. We’re intentional about keeping our culture at the heart of it. We operate with a flat structure, agile ways of working, and a strong focus on collaboration, where good ideas come from anywhere and people are trusted to make an impact.
We work alongside our customers to solve complex, real-world problems: modernising systems, improving delivery, and building scalable platforms that enable long-term success.
If you want to be part of a team that values people as much as technology and gives you the space to grow while working on meaningful challenges, Appvia is the place to do it.
