Your Impact

Are you ready to take on complex technical challenges supporting secure cross-domain services that protect national security? At Leonardo, our Senior Platform Engineers operate, maintain and improve secure gateway platforms that enable controlled information flow between security domains and keep our customers’ missions running.

Your work at Leonardo UK will see you take the lead in solving customer problems in an agile, innovative and team-centric manner. The role may involve a blended hybrid working model, with a mixture of working from home and working on site at one of our Leonardo offices to ensure close collaboration with the wider team and with our customers.

Leonardo UK is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to join the Cyber & Security Solutions Division team. This role is focused on operating, maintaining, assuring and improving secure cross-domain gateway services that underpin critical defence, government and public sector operations.

What you will do as a Senior Platform Engineer

Operate, maintain and support secure cross-domain gateway services across highly controlled environments.

Monitor service health, investigate issues and support incident, problem and change activity in line with agreed service processes.

Maintain secure configurations, transfer policies, rule sets and supporting documentation.

Support patching, upgrades, vulnerability remediation and service continuity activities.

Troubleshoot gateway, platform, network and data transfer issues across security boundaries.

Produce and maintain operational documentation, including build records, support guides, runbooks and configuration baselines.

Work with security, service management, engineering and customer stakeholders to ensure cross-domain services remain compliant, available and fit for purpose.

Identify and deliver continuous service improvements to improve reliability, security and operational efficiency.

What you’ll bring

Strong technical ability with experience operating and supporting secure platforms or gateway services in controlled environments.

A disciplined service mindset, with the ability to balance hands-on technical support, assurance, documentation and continuous improvement.

Confidence working across technical, security, service management and customer stakeholders to resolve issues and maintain service integrity.

Core areas (must have):

Cross-domain solutions: operation, support and controlled configuration of data transfer between security domains (e.g. high-to-low, restricted-to-enterprise)

Windows and Linux operating systems

Virtualisation platforms (VMware, Hyper-V)

Secure data handling and policy enforcement (sanitisation, validation, filtering)

Implementation of controlled and auditable data transfer mechanisms

Networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, firewalls)

Automation and scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ansible, Terraform)

Knowledge of cyber security controls and accreditation requirements

Experience across the systems engineering lifecycle

Design and assurance of secure data flows across trust boundaries

Delivery within highly controlled / secure environments (e.g. cross-domain, air-gapped, defence)

Incident, problem and change management

Monitoring, patching, vulnerability remediation and service continuity

Desirable:

Experience with specific cross-domain or secure transfer products, such as Opswat or similar

Data diode or one-way transfer architectures

Integration with security tooling, such as SOC, SIEM or monitoring platforms

Performance and throughput optimisation for secure data transfer systems

Experience supporting service management processes, including incident, problem, change and configuration management

Experience with cloud platforms, such as AWS or Azure, and Infrastructure as Code

Hands-on use of DevSecOps tools, CI/CD pipelines or automation tooling

Containerisation platforms, such as Kubernetes or Docker

Security Clearance

This role is subject to pre-employment screening in line with the UK Government’s Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS). An additional range of Personnel Security Controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV) will apply. This role requires Developed Vetting (DV) clearance prior to starting.
