Platform Engineer

We Are Skyral:   We believe every decision maker can be empowered by technology. Skyral combines AI, leading edge simulation technology and world class expertise to transform the decision making experience. Our products and services enable faster and more confident decisions in a complex, unforgiving world. We deploy practical, intuitive and efficient solutions to governments and enterprises, delivering outstanding outcomes at the speed of relevance. At Omnia Training, we’ve brought together some of the UK’s most innovative defence training organisations under one powerful mission: to transform the British Army’s training system and create the best-trained Army in the world. Omnia Training is redefining the British Army’s collective training. To do that, we are looking for the best and brightest minds from across the UK. Omnia Training is at the heart of the UK’s bold Land Industrial Strategy. This is more than a job — it’s a mission. You will be part of a high-impact, collaborative environment, where every person in our team plays a critical role in delivering Omnia Training’s vision; designing, delivering, and transforming collective training. Please note that this role will require onsite working in Warminster. Due to the nature of this role, Skyral can only consider applications from candidates who live in the UK and are eligible for SC clearance. What You’ll Be Responsible For:

Deploy and configure systems on MODCloud / D2S / OpenShift

Manage Kubernetes environments, networking and connectivity, as well as security-aligned configurations.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and environment configurations to ensure repeatable and reliable deployments.

Support running systems by monitoring health, diagnosing platform and infrastructure issues and resolving deployment failures.

Work closely with integration engineers, customers and modelling engineers.

Support and maintain existing simulation and training systems, as well as existing deployment and virtualisation tools.

Apply SRE practices to improve system reliability, including observability (metrics, logs, tracing), incident response, and root cause analysis.

What We Are Looking For:

This is not a pure cloud or greenfield platform role. You will be working across cloud-native services, legacy systems, and integrated simulation environments, ensuring they operate reliably as a single platform.

Strong systems and infrastructure mindset

Comfortable working across modern and legacy environments

Calm under pressure during outages or failures

Pragmatic and delivery-focused, with a bias toward keeping systems running.

Strong collaborator across engineering disciplines

Adopts an SRE mindset, focusing on reliability, observability, and continuous improvement of running systems.
