About Cloudscaler
Cloudscaler is a Central London-based cloud consultancy delivering secure, enterprise-scale AWS solutions to government and private sector organisations across the UK. This role will involve client site travel depending on project requirements, with one key client requiring onsite attendance in Bath approximately once every two weeks.

Security Clearance Requirements
Due to working with a number of government bodies, SC clearance is required for our customer facing teams.
