Job role:
This is an exciting time to join the UK's largest private healthcare telemedicine company based in Hastings, East Sussex, who are expanding their IT Team due to organic growth. Joining a dynamic team focusing on supporting Medica's transition to a cloud‐native technology landscape. Reporting to the Technical Director, this role is responsible for building and maintaining the automation, infrastructure, and secure deployment architecture that underpin Medica's clinical and operational applications. The DevOps Engineer will work closely with software engineering, data engineering, and infrastructure teams to design secure, scalable, and highly available cloud environments, ensuring consistent and rapid software delivery. This position is central to improving performance, strengthening security, and accelerating delivery as Medica modernises its technology estate, ultimately helping to enhance the services provided to clinicians and improving patient outcomes.
You will design and maintain secure, scalable CI/CD pipelines and implement Infrastructure as Code to ensure consistent, automated cloud environments. Working across Medica's cloud‐native platforms—from container orchestration and networking to identity and monitoring—you'll develop observability capabilities and support reliable deployment workflows. You'll troubleshoot infrastructure and pipeline issues, embed security and compliance controls, and contribute to incident response and continual improvement. The role also involves creating clear operational documentation, championing DevOps and cloud best practices, supporting cost‐optimisation efforts, and collaborating with the Technical Director to shape Medica's evolving cloud‐native standards and architecture.
