Capability Integration Engineers (CIs):
CIs are the technical bridge between users, engineering teams, and industry partners. You'll get hands-on with tactical systems, support requirements gathering, deliver field-based scenario training, and help de-risk tech deployments. You’ll be responsible for translating complex user needs into practical, working solutions.

DevSecOps Engineers:
Integrate security seamlessly into the development and deployment process, ensuring secure and efficient delivery pipelines for critical systems.

Cloud Engineers (AWS):
Design and implement scalable cloud solutions that enable our customers to modernise their IT infrastructure.
