Developing cloud infrastructure to facilitate healthcare research London, remote or hybrid Use your AWS expertise to build secure and scalable cloud infrastructure that will facilitate research and development within the healthcare sector! This company's diagnostics visualisation platform allows medical researchers to visualise and analyse clinical data in order to develop new treatments that will massively improve the lives of patients. Key to this is the creation of secure multi-tenant and multi-region storage solution that allows swift and secure access to various types of data. Data security and integrity is of paramount importance, and the solution needs to be compliant with healthcare industry software standards. This role calls for strong AWS skills, rapid application development, and software development skills, a solid understanding of security aspects. You will also need excellent communication, collaboration, and organisational skills. Of prime importance is that you take a holistic, not just technical, view, and be proactive in reaching out to colleagues and clients to fully understand the product's requirements, stakeholders, and how it sits within the company's broader mission of creating world-leading software tools to further medical research. Reporting directly to the Technical Product Lead, you'll be contributing to product architecture, designing and implementing services, and data pipelines; developing automated testing and CI/CD infrastructure. You will need: A 1st or 2.1 in Computer Science, Engineering, or a similarly relevant discipline, and substantial commercial software engineering experience; to be au fait with Agile ceremonies, version control, and CI/CD, and software testing. Solid expertise in developing and deploying microservices on AWS; knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code; DevOps, and experience with NoSQL databases.
