Job Description:

eDV Cleared Engineers (Open Application)

Location: UK-wide (hybrid + high-side work)

Salary: £70,000 – £130,000+ + bonus + DV incentives + benefits

If you hold active eDV clearance and are open to exploring what’s out there, it’s worth having a conversation.

We work closely with a range of Defence and National Security organisations across the UK, including consultancies, SMEs, and product-led teams. Many of the opportunities we support aren’t advertised and are often shaped around the individual rather than a fixed brief.

What’s different about approaching the market this way?

You’re not applying into a single role.

Instead, we map out where you’ll actually be a strong fit across multiple teams, based on:

  • The type of work you want to be doing
  • Your preferred environment (SME, consultancy, product)
  • Level of client exposure and high-side work
  • Short and longer-term progression goals

In many cases, roles are adjusted or created to align with the right profile.

Typical opportunities we support

Most of the teams we work with are hiring across:

  • DevOps / Platform Engineering
  • DevSecOps / Secure Cloud
  • Data Engineering / Machine Learning
  • Software Engineering (various stacks)
  • Technical Delivery / Architecture

Across a mix of environments, from agile SMEs to established delivery partners.

Typical tech environments

Varies by team, but commonly includes:

  • AWS / Azure Kubernetes / containerised platforms
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, etc.) CI/CD pipelines and secure delivery tooling
  • Modern software and data stacks

What we’re looking for

  • Active eDV clearance
  • Strong background in engineering, data, or technical delivery
  • Experience working in secure or high-assurance environments
  • Open to discussing new opportunities (even if just exploratory)

Why it’s worth a conversation

  • Access to opportunities that aren’t on the open market
  • Honest insight into different teams, cultures, and delivery environments
  • Support in navigating offers, progression, and long-term positioning
  • Roles typically offering competitive base salaries (£70k–£130k+)
  • Additional DV bonuses, company bonus, and full benefits

If you’re not actively looking but open to understanding what’s out there, that’s usually the best time to have a conversation.
