Role
Who you are
- You have a solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including routing, IPAM, the difference between switches and gateways, and are comfortable discussing concepts like "autonomous systems" and the OSI model
- You are familiar with the most common Layer 7 protocols such as SSH, DNS, HTTP(S), IMAP, SMTP, etc
- You possess experience in at least a couple of programming languages, with Python, TypeScript, and Bash being the most commonly used in our environment. Experience with other languages, such as Rust or C, is also valuable
- You have hands-on experience with containers, understanding their deployment and management
- You bring practical experience with public cloud platforms, preferably AWS, although experience with other cloud providers will also be valuable due to the similarities
- You have a preference for writing over talking, with the ability to create clear, reusable, and minimalistic texts, such as documentation, post-mortems, and work instructions
- You have experience with ISO 27001 audits or similar information security attestations and are familiar with the standards and processes related to compliance
What the job involves
- Enhance knowledge sharing and reduce key-person dependency within the platform team
- Improve platform security, observability, and compliance with European regulations and standards (C5, GDPR, ISO 27001) to meet the demands of the healthcare sector
- Manage and scale platform-related workloads to support the company’s growth and increasing operational demands
- Design and architect an efficient, maintainable, and scalable platform that supports the product’s evolution and operational excellence
- We migrated to a hybrid, multi cloud infrastructure for legal reasons, where we may need to have one local cloud provider
- We have picked open source technologies (Terraform / Kubernetes / OpenStack) for ease of migration
- Automatically flag commits which introduced regressions
- Automate the deployment of our Embedded Analytics solution (Quicksight)
- Automate the deployment and release of native applications
- Remove all password authentication to connect to servers (SSO for devs)
- Automatically rotate any server credentials accesses
- Provide the right access roles for any user
- Work on the clients for our cache / databases (golang)
- Implement & use tracing over our platform
- Setup application security monitoring & WAF access control
- Conformity to our ISO 27001 certification
- We want to sleep at night and on weekends (and currently doing so) - for that reason, we believe in automation
- The idea is to build and use tools that do the work for us, and notify us when something goes south - it doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's better to be prepared
- We have a mature BI infrastructure which connects multiple sources to our ELT pipeline (Stitch, DBT, Snowflake) and finally Looker for visualisation
- Tech stack:
- Backend code. We're a Go shop. We are big fans of the limitations of the language that enables everyone to write similar code, without the stress of code style debates
- Infrastructure. We try to keep simple architecture which is cloud provider agnostic - a set of web servers running in orchestrated containers, a managed PostgreSQL database and a managed redis cache. We have a hybrid cloud setup. Our production infra is on T-Systems and non-production is on AWS
- Monitoring. We have tried a lot of solutions but decided to go all-in with Datadog (metrics, logs, security, and tracing through APM)
- Frontend code. Our frontend apps are built in React and React Native. We use GraphQL to communicate between the apps and the backend
- AWS and Openstack based cloud (basically postgres + k8s)
- Github Enterprise Cloud
- CircleCI (moving to Github Actions)
- Dockerhub and ECR
- Datadog
- Snowflake
Application process
- We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
Our take
Discharging and transferring patients from hospitals to other care facilities is a lengthy process, weighed down by a heap of administrative tasks and paperwork. This is bad for both patients and hospitals, which is why Recare has stepped up to help improve the process.
The company supplies a digital discharge management platform to automate some of the administration associated with patient transfers. In a nutshell, it enables hospital workers to find the right aftercare facilities for their patients by simply entering their needs, and subsequently request a transfer online.
This approach benefits patients by supplying the care they need, hospitals by reducing stay time, and aftercare facilities by enabling them to optimize the use of their capacity. Its a promising concept, and has earned Recare a good amount of funding which it will use to expand its marketplace and bring faster aftercare to more patients.
