Hello!
Are you someone that loves tech, in all its forms?
From the productivity it allows, to the lives it can save?
Have you been in a commercial role for a few years, doing some development, some infrastructure building, or cloud work, but without anyone to learn directly from, found your learning and progression stalling?
Do you want to use your skills in a great role, with a company who are genuinely making a huge difference to, and often saving, peoples’ lives through their health?
Then I have just the role for you!
I’m working with a company that has been going for around 3 years, they are up to 30-40 staff, and are still classed as a start-up. There is lots of work to do there, and lots of progression and things to learn and implement as they scale.
The core tech stack they use, and would like you to have used/ done is;
Application Support, Internal Development Tooling, and Infrastructure.
- Configuration Management (Pref. Ansible)
- AWS Cloud (EC2, ECS, S3, RDS, Cloudfront, etc.)
- Infrastructure as Code (Pref. Terraform)
- Containers (Docker)
- CI/CD (Pref. GitLab CI)
- SQL Databases (Pref. PostgreSQL)
- Networking (DNS, VPN, Subnets, VPCs, etc.)
- Linux (Pref. Debian)
They are looking to start using the following, so if you’ve touched on any of these, that’ll be really useful for them;
- ELK Stack (Grafana)
- JFrog Artifactory
- Python
You will play a huge part in their story, will learn loads from the HM, whom you will be working very closely with, and will have the following, wide-ranging duties;
In short; to ensure they are Secure, Reliable, and Scalable
- Oversee Deployment to Test, Pre-Production, and Production Environments
- CI/CD Pipeline Management / Improvement
- Monitor Deployed Environments and Internal Tools
- Incident / Problem Resolution
- Security & Vulnerability Management (1st Party Code, 3rd Party Dependencies, Internal Tooling)
- SysAdmin (On Prem, Cloud, 3rd Party Services)
- Application & OS Patching
- Business Continuity (Backups, Failovers, Recovery Testing)
- Documentation
They, as a company, are doing great things, are funded by grants and research, most of their leadership team are a strong part of the medical community and bring a lot to the table in this regard. Their product is game-changing, and doing real world good.
One of the projects the HM mentioned on the call we had about the role was that currently, if someone wants to use their product, they have to manually request it. They want to automate this process and to do it automatically- essentially integrating into every time someone has a procedure linked to their product. They also have plans to diversify the application to be used to help prevent other illnesses such as diabetes.
The company is based in Oxford, but have the attitude that the office is there if you want to use it, but there’s no pressure to go in more than ‘once in a while’.
