Rowden Technologies

Principal Infrastructure and Applications Engineer (Forward Deployed) Tech Services

UK
Description
About Rowden 

We’re building the next UK-headquartered engineering powerhouse.  

There is a gulf between the needs of mission-focused organisations and the development and delivery of the critical technology they rely on. The consequences of this are felt acutely by underserved frontline operators, demanding a new breed of engineering enterprise to bridge this divide. 

Rowden exists to meet this need. We design and build systems, infrastructure, and applications to deliver mission advantage to those working to protect the security of the UK and its allies. Rowden is setting a new standard in government technology provision: hyper-efficient engineering, better customer relationships, and rapid assimilation of commercial technology. 

Our team of Forward Deployed Specialists 

Join Rowden’s Forward Deployed Team and work where the action is.  

You'll collaborate directly with customers on-site, tackling their most complex technology challenges. From diagnosing critical issues to deploying innovative solutions, you'll be at the forefront of solving real-world problems that matter. If you're hands-on, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to see the impact of your work up close – this is the team for you.  

What’s in it for you: 
  • Impact and Purpose: Your work makes a difference — directly supporting defence, national security, and frontline operators. 
  • Professional Growth: Experience faster learning, deeper technical challenges, and exposure to real-world constraints that sharpen your skills. 
  • Team Expansion: Be part of a growing team that’s delivering results and scaling up. Help us shape what forward deployment looks like as we expand into new projects and new regions.

The role: Principal Infrastructure and Applications Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our dynamic team at Rowden Technologies on a fixed term basis supporting one of our most important customers. This key position requires a dynamic, customer focussed engineer capable of designing, developing, building, deploying and supporting mission critical services across a range of cloud (public, private and hybrid) infrastructure.

Your initial deployment is anticipated to be on-site in the West Midlands for one year, working within a hybrid team of contractors and military personnel for a government organisation. While this role offers hybrid working options, it requires a minimum of 3 days per week on-site with the customer. Candidates must be willing to obtain a UKNSV security clearance with SC being essential, and DV clearance desirable.

Key areas of responsibility

As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Rowden, your expertise will be pivotal in building and architecting solutions that support both our operational needs and strategic objectives.

  • Collaborating with development teams to integrate DevOps methodologies and practice into the software development lifecycle.
  • Interfacing with our account manager on progress updates and upcoming customer needs.
