You'll be curious about cloud technologies, and any familiarity with AWS, Azure or GCP would be beneficial. You may have some experience with Agile or DevOps ways of working, CI/CD, automation or infrastructure as code, and you're keen to build confidence in areas like cloud security or vulnerability awareness. A basic understanding of Linux or Windows is useful, along with a willingness to learn more as part of the role. You'll work well in development teams, switching between independent tasks and collaborative work, and you're happy contributing across teams when needed. You can prioritise effectively, adapt to change and stay focused when things get challenging. You communicate clearly, enjoy sharing ideas and are comfortable engaging with a range of customers and technical colleagues. If you're enthusiastic about technology, motivated to develop skills and excited by our mission, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every requirement. Your perspective and potential could be exactly what we're looking for. Training and Development At GCHQ, we embrace a growth mindset and are committed to your development. You'll follow a blend of in house learning from our experts, external courses where helpful, and plenty of on the job experience.
