Referment is working with a healthcare technology company whose systems support clinicians delivering ADHD and autism assessments. The platform processes sensitive health information and sits directly in important clinical workflows, making availability, security and data integrity central to the value it provides.
This Site Reliability Engineer will take end-to-end responsibility for business-critical backend systems, from technical design and deployment through monitoring and incident response. It is a hands-on role in a small engineering environment, suited to someone who can improve cloud infrastructure without relying on a separate platform team and who understands that dependable systems have a visible effect on clinical care.
The Role
- Design, build, deploy and operate production backend systems that clinicians can rely on in day-to-day assessment work.
- Develop the cloud infrastructure supporting the product and improve its reliability, scalability and operational clarity.
- Establish effective monitoring, alerting and incident-response practices, including thoughtful participation in on-call ownership.
- Design robust APIs, databases and schemas for structured information at scale.
- Apply security and data-protection principles throughout design and delivery, including encryption, access control, data minimisation and proactive threat modelling.
- Work with engineering, operational and clinical stakeholders to explain trade-offs and solve problems in an evolving startup environment.
