Requirements

The back end of their technology stack comprises Java-based microservices running on AWS. Data security and integrity is of paramount importance, and the solution needs to be compliant with healthcare industry software standards - we are therefore keen to hear from applicants with relevant experience in healthcare technology.

Success in this senior role calls for excellent software development skills in Java (or a closely related OO language), and a strong understanding of AWS is essential. You will also need excellent communication and collaboration skills, and be proactive in understanding the needs of stakeholders and how their underlying needs feed into the software requirements.

You will need:

  • A solid academic background with a degree in Computer Science, or a similar subject.
  • Substantial commercial software engineering experience and familiarity with Agile development processes, CI/CD, and software testing strategies.
  • Strong coding skills, ideally in Java, a good understanding of the AWS ecosystem, and careful attention to writing high quality code.
  • Full, existing, and unrestricted right to work in the UK without the need for sponsorship either now or in future.

Nice-to-haves: Docker, Kubernetes, Infrastructure-as-code, DynamoDB, Spring Boot, Gradle, and experience working under software engineering standards for healthcare such as ISO14385.
