You will be helping us realise and steer a cloud presence that enables our builder teams, technologists, and users to safely, securely, rapidly and easily leverage the cloud services they need in order to accelerate patient care in our virtual ward.
You'll work in partnership with the business to help us elevate, and automate our security posture for complex workloads that support our engineering, data, and core tooling pipelines.
Our vision is a platform that epitomises the best of modern cloud practices - leveraging immutable infrastructure, zero trust and effective pipelines to allow our teams to quickly operationalise workloads that have compliance, security, observability, logging, and alerting baked in, and we're growing a team passionate to deliver it.
We’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about and enjoys helping users, while balancing their needs with both business and security priorities. You pursue tangible outcomes but bring an exceptional eye for detail, and you pair excellent interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence with a low-ego, collaborative approach to learning and sharing knowledge. You take pride in working closely with the entire team and have a proven track record in technical delivery, architecting, developing, and maintaining security capabilities that empower builder teams to do their best work.
