Who is ControlPlane?
We are a London based cloud technology company, helping to keep people safe online. We work with cloud providers and their customers to secure the building blocks of the internet, by offering consulting, training and products related to cloud native development, security and operations.
ControlPlane’s priority is to continue to be a leader in the Kubernetes and Cloud DevSecOps space. We secure the next generation of software systems and provide a clear, risk-based adoption guide for organisations looking to implement best practices.
Trusted by Google Cloud, UK Home Office, JPMC, among many others, our clients are world leading organisations.
What We’re Looking For in a Cloud Native Engineer
We are looking for cloud native engineers and consultants at all levels to represent the technical and cultural values of ControlPlane, leading our customers by example in the complex and fast-changing world of cloud native technology.
