Senior DevOps Engineer

Salary Competitive

This role is an opportunity to shape an innovative health tech platform as one of two DevOps engineers working on it.


WHO ARE WE

We all share the passion for building the best next generation of healthcare solutions. We are a team of software engineers, physicists, anthropologists, sociologists and more.

Our work is ambitious. Our software product enables remote care for heart patients with implanted pacemakers. We enhance the lives of patients while making clinicians more efficient at the same time.


WHO ARE YOU

You want to work on a product that matters in a driven team that aims to improve the quality of lives for our users (heart patients).

You have experience maintaining cloud native production systems composed of heterogeneous services. You can work being embedded in a cross-functional team alongside software engineers.

You share our values and beliefs:

  • Teamwork and collaboration are paramount

  • Empowering co-workers results in a better result for all

  • Sketch, build and test early and quickly

  • Base insights on thorough fieldwork and academic research

  • Build on user-centered design principles

  • Keep an open, free and flexible work environment

In terms of more traditional requirements we’re interested in experience with:

  • Experience with AWS or similar cloud providers

  • Experience with managing SaaS solutions / websites that need to maintain constant uptime

  • Experience with ‘Infrastructure as Code’ tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, Chef or similar.

It would be nice if you’ve specifically worked with our tech stack and/or in the health tech field already.


OUR TECH STACK

‘Infrastructure as Code’ is a core principle of how we operate. Our platform is backed by AWS EKS, using Kubernetes to manage our resources, provide resilience and empower developers to create representative environments for testing. We host Elixir and Python services, along with PostgreSQL, NoSQL databases and RabbitMQ as an event bus. We manage our CI/CD via Jenkins with code based pipelines. Orchestration of the platform is done with Terraform and we use DataDog for monitoring and alerting.

On the frontend we have a React Native mobile application for iOS and Android, a React web portal for clinicians at hospitals, and internal management tools also built in React.

Our architecture is still evolving as we go. You will get to have an impact on the design and implementation of the architecture as we adapt it to meet current and future needs.


WHY WORK WITH US

We make a real difference

It's hard for hospitals to strike the balance between cutting costs and delivering better care for patients. With our software platform we do just that, using AI-driven decision support with classic work process optimisation and smart visualizations of medical data.

We’re passionate about our journey and each other

We’re here to make an impact and have the best time together while doing it. We’re still a small team and we firmly believe that we should all understand the purpose of what we do. So no one will just hand things off to another team and forget about it.

We’re solving hard problems

Doing health tech right is difficult for a number of reasons. Some are technology-related: stability, security, transparency and reproducibility, which are a different beast than the typical throughput and scaling. Standards and protocols for health tech are still evolving and often misappropriated, and so often require creative solutions.

Other reasons are more practical: different hospitals and clinics simply have different workflows and this can and does impact the way we have to design software to support those individualities.

Finally, there are the legal and ethical considerations: how do we handle GDPR, security, auditing and logging, local and EU laws, etc.


HOW TO APPLY

Go to our profile on thehub.io. Along with submitting your resume please answer:

  • why are you interested in this role

  • and why do you think you're a good fit for it

We don't ask for an extended cover letter here — one or two honest lines on each of questions will do just perfect.
