Description
Job Description
***DXC Technology is committed to building diverse, inclusive teams. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and particularly encourage interest from women, underrepresented groups, and neurodivergent candidates. We offer reasonable adjustments throughout the hiring process and are dedicated to creating a supportive, accessible environment for everyone.***
Security Clearance Requirement
MANDATORY: This role supports critical national infrastructure and requires UK Security Clearance (SC level). Applicants must be sole UK nationals (British passport, no dual nationality), with 5+ years continuous UK residency and no visa sponsorship requirement. Active SC clearance is highly desirable.

The Role
We're looking for a skilled DevOps Engineer to help deliver secure, scalable, and resilient platforms supporting critical national infrastructure. You'll be embedded in an Agile team, owning quality, automation, and operational excellence across the full delivery lifecycle.
This is a hands-on engineering role — you'll design and build automated test frameworks, validate deployments across AWS multi-account environments, and ensure platforms are continuously production-ready.
