️ What You'll Do as a Senior Platform Engineer

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 enable and automate complex workloads that support our engineering, data, and core tooling pipelines, and you will be providing systems that optimise for both batch and continuous workloads.

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.

Someone who genuinely cares and enjoy helping your users, whilst balancing their needs with the business needs. You pursue tangible outcomes but have an strong eye for detail. You have excellent interpersonal skills/EQ, you are a low ego learner and sharer. You pride yourself on your ability to collaborate closely with the whole team.
