What the job involves
- We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our growing and passionate Technology Team
- Technology at Patchwork is responsible for all activities related to the development and maintenance of the platforms we build

- Understanding how software architectures map to underlying infrastructure, and guiding conversations on cloud tools, protocols, cybersecurity and system robustness will be a day-to-day exercise
- This role will help create a low-friction toolchain to ensure there's a system with high uptime and a low error rate
- Providing infrastructure leadership to the wider Technology Team, including continuous identification and prioritisation of system improvements
- Leading infrastructure migrations that are incremental, idempotent and do not impact system efficiencies
- Contributing to the design of software architectures, whilst considering scalability, performance, maintainability, and the infrastructure implications
- Working with the Technology Team on infrastructure changes to support new and existing features
- Evaluating the trade-offs between code problem solving vs cloud-native tooling, especially in relation to testability and deployability
- Assisting with infrastructure changes as an ongoing part of technical governance, reflected in the product roadmap

- Keeping up with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices
- Evaluating new tools, technologies, and methodologies to drive continuous improvement
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Patchwork offers doctors a mobile app through which they can find and book shifts instantly, and hospitals a bespoke staffing platform to control their own hiring processes rather than using expensive locum agencies.
The financial woes of the NHS are rarely out of the news, while its staffing crisis continues to escalate amid growing demand for healthcare. The founders of Patchwork have an intimate knowledge of the problems faced by the NHS in these areas. The app itself was developed through a public-private partnership with Chelsea & Westminster NHS Trust, which became the pilot site.
The company is seeking to integrate its service into standard staffing practices and in 2024, acquired L2P, a job planning software enterprise. This partnership will result in a suite of tools to streamline workforce processes and address the workforce needs of more than 100,000 clinicians across both the NHS and private hospitals. Patchwork then, is at the forefront of the movement to fix the NHS staffing crisis.
