BAE Systems
World’s 6th largest arms company, tied to some of the most corrupt deals in history last time I checked with Saudia Arabia etc. Many of these weapons directly go on to be used by ISIS etc - if people were serious about tackling terrorism this is where they’d start!
They have been building stealth UAVs at their base in Warton since 2000. They have cyber operations in Leeds (and maybe Manchester?)

Historically jobs for this division have been advertised as being in Leeds, at:
Avalon House, Savannah Way
Leeds Valley Park
LS10 1AB
https://www.baesystems.com/en/cybersecurity/careers/our-locations/uk-and-europe
Whilst they don’t advertise as having a Manchester office, they are advertising for roles in Manchester as well as having a specific category on their job search for “Client Site - Greater Manchester”
The roles are fairly standard DevOps / Cloud roles, but require security clearance. Some details from a recent job advert:
